Antica Torre di Via Tornabuoni 1

We had an excellent stay! The hotel is in a very central location and it was easy to walk to many different areas. Beautifully decorated rooms and plenty of space, and the daily breakfast was very nice. The rooftop bar area has a gorgeous view over the city, and there was a nice sitting room as well! The staff was very helpful and assisted us in booking taxis and offering other suggestions. We would definitely come back if we return to Florence. Thank you!

We love this hotel! It is beautifully appointed and the rooms are very comfortable. The staff is welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Centrally located, and only a few steps from the Arno River, we were able to walk to many major attractions during our two day stay. The terrace is a treasure, with gorgeous views over Florence, and we enjoyed it for breakfast as well as our afternoon tea break. If you are looking for a great hotel in Florence, this is the one!

We had a lovely stay here during our time in Florence. It was our first stop on our honeymoon and they prepared the room as requested to surprise my wife! The rooms were very comfortable, clean, quiet & romantic. The staff was very helpful and friendly! The hotel has a |rooftop bar with a great view of the Duomo. We spent some time here just enjoying the space and a bottle of champagne. The location was fantastic, walking distance from many popular areas. We would definitely come back if we find ourselves in Florence again!

Fantastic boutique hotel located in the heart of Florence. We stayed here as part of a special anniversary trip and it was worth the expense. The room we stayed in was luxurious and well appointed. The staff was fantastic and helpful. Breakfast was included and was wonderful. We even spent time on the roof top bar/cafe for snacks and to simply soak in the city. Stay here for a wonderful time in the beautiful city.

We selected this hotel for our Anniversary vacation and I could not have been more pleased with our experience. The property is ideally located in Florence, walkable to all the main attractions, restaurants, shopping and the roof top bar has an amazing Sunset view. The accommodations were excellent with a beautiful view of the Arno river and we felt the experience was every bit worthy of our expectations. The staff was exceptional. They truly understand the art of hospitality and anticipated everything we may have needed to elevate our Anniversary. When you combine the location, accommodations and customer service, it results in an exceptional experience. I highly recommend this Antica Torre di Via Tornabuoni 1.

We stayed in the Hammam Suite overlooking the Arno River. The view was spectacular and the location of the hotel was perfect! The suite was huge as well as the bathroom and so luxurious. The hotel was intriguing...there were nooks and crannies....the receptionist had to take us to our room so that we could find it. There are big rooms, hidden stairways, and little decks throughout. This hotel used to be a castle. It was originally a medieval tower residence built in the 13th century. The property has been restored and transformed into a boutique hotel that retains its historic charm. We enjoyed the rooftop breakfast every morning.

A charming and unusual hotel with one of the best views in one of the loveliest cities in the world. The staff were great in that unfussy style which doesn't wear you out after a few days. There's no restaurant but the rooftop terrace bar is delightful and there are plenty of places nearby to eat, so don't be put off by this. Thank you Maria and team.

We loved this boutique hotel and it was a big factor in how much we enjoyed our first stay in Florence. Our room was a modest size, on the 5th floor (525) overlooking the Arno River. Charming decor, comfy bed, streaming services, and a tall window we could open fully to take in fresh air and the view. And the a/c was sufficient (not the case in all Florence hotels). The staff were exceptional (esp manager, Davide). Breakfast offerings we're scrumptious and the dining room had exquisite views. The roof terrace has seating and potted flowers and provides almost 360° views of Florence. The hotel is located in the heart of the city so we could easily walk to any area, and right next to a bridge to cross the river, and we enjoyed nightly street opera performances in the piazza adjacent to the hotel. I hope to be lucky enough to stay here again one day.

Beautiful hotel near several main attractions in Florence. Our room was on the 6th floor which was perfect for access to the terrace bar and breakfast terrace. This was the most comfortable bed and pillows I have slept on in our time in Italy. Our room was spacious and we had a window that overlooked the Arno. I loved that you could see the old beams in the ceiling. The views from the breakfast and bar terraces were stunning. We got beautiful pics of the Duomo, including one next to a rainbow as it rained on and off during our time in Florence. The bar terrace even had shawls on the back of chairs to wrap around your shoulders and keep away the chill. We went up there and played cards one afternoon and it was quiet and relaxing. Service was excellent. We often pointed at a restaurant name and asked them to make reservations for us. One night, the places we asked for were full, so we just asked them to choose something for us. They recommended an excellent restaurant which was only about 400ft from the hotel. The place was extremely busy so I can't help but think they squeezed us in because of the hotel's call. We loved our stay here!

This is a 4.5 rating and I highly recommend this hotel if you will be in Florence. The staff was accommodating and helpful and the location was perfect. My husband and I had planned a trip to Italy for September 2020. I purchased a pre-paid, nonrefundable room at Antica Torre Tornabuoni in late 2019 because there was no reason we wouldn't go on the trip, so why not save a little bit of money? Hello COVID-19. I was resigned to losing my money, but figured it couldn't hurt to reach out to the hotel and ask if they would change our reservation to 2021. I emailed the hotel and immediately heard back from the hotel manager, who was gracious and happy to accommodate. We stayed in Florence at two different points in our trip, so I had two separate reservations, each for a Grand Deluxe room. I didn't realize there are only two of these rooms at the hotel and each has a private terrace. Room 503 was a touch smaller, but had a slightly larger terrace with a view of the Duomo. Room 502 was enormous with a slightly smaller terrace with a view of "old" Florence. Both rooms were absolutely worth it. The hotel is located in medieval towers. When you step through the front door, you aren't sure what you are getting into. You do not immediately see the reception desk. Keep going to the end of the entry, past the elevator, and you come to a small reception. The reception staff are welcoming, friendly, and helpful. We were checked in and the manager showed us how to use the fob attached to our key to make the elevator work. (Later in our stays, the reception staff were extremely helpful as they held our luggage, gave us umbrellas, and reserved us an early-morning taxi.) We were very happy with our rooms, as I mentioned. They were comfortable, had the amenities we needed, and there is a book in the room with lots of history and local recommendations. The breakfast room was easy to access from the 5th floor where our rooms were located. Due to COVID-19, there were friendly staff members wearing gloves and masks who served you what items you wanted from the buffet. There is seating outside and inside. The hotel also has a large terrace open to all of its guests with wonderful views of the city. It is especially beautiful to see the city lit up at night. The hotel is located one bridge down from the Ponte Vecchio. it was easy to walk everywhere we wanted to go and easy to navigate to and from the hotel. So, why 4.5 stars instead of 5 if this hotel is so perfect and I would stay there again? With a medieval building, things happen. There was a sulfer smell in one of our bathrooms that seemed to be emanating from the bidet. The main elevator broke down during our stay, so we had to use the very slow and ancient one by reception. Neither of these things were horrible, but they weren't ideal. That said, I can't imagine a better place to stay in Florence--location, comfort, views, atmosphere; the Antica Torre Tornabuoni has it all.

Superb Scenery, Well Decorated, Spacious Rooms! For a romantic destination, Hotel Antica di via tourbni is what I'd recommend for any couple. What influenced my decision was its superior and spacious room accommodations. Good hygiene is observed all the time. You will be treated to a marvelous view of the Arno River. The room ceilings are quite high and decorated wonderfully. The hotel is found on a strategic location in Florence with the famous streets and superb scenery. You will be woken up to the best breakfast you haven't had in years. Among the delicacies that you will enjoy for breakfast are various cheeses, scrambled eggs, bacon, pastries, cookies, yogurt vegetable creations, cereals, and fruit. The diner has an alluring setting that is also elegant. Rooftop bars and restaurants are also great selling points for this hotel. The staff was very welcoming and offered services to our satisfaction. Highly recommend for first timers visiting Florence.

This is a boutique hotel located in the heart of Florence's historical center on via tornabuoni ( the street with high-end shopping and right in front of the Ferragamo museum). This structure itself I learned was a midieval tower and has a really romantic feel to it. The rooms are nicely decorated and cozy and the best part of the hotel is the roofside terrace. It's absolutely massive and has a 360 view of the city, I found out one of the photos from their terrace actually won some terrace contest in the city called 'terrazza aperta". The breakfast area is in the enclosed area of the terrace and is a pretty wide buffet. The staff is friendly and very knowledgable of the area. You can walk to all of the major attractions from the hotel itself and it's location close to the arno makes it easy to find no matter where you are. I recommend bringing an awesome camera and taking some pictures of bella firenze from their terrace and sipping a cockail at an angle not many get to see.

My wife and i go to Italy each year. I speak Italian. And we have been going to Antica Torre for years and years. This is a great great hotel, in absolutely the best location a Firenze, the morning breakfast is outrageously great, the views from the balconies are the best a Firenze, absolutely, and the staff are folks you want to take home with you as family. I can't sing praises high enough for Antica Torre. And will be there in Dec, for Xmas wonders. A blessing!

Great location on the river and walking distance to major sites. Our deluxe room was upgraded to large suite (king bed, ac) without a view but very quiet. The view from the rooftop during breakfast made up for this. Excellent breakfast. Rooftop terrace serence place to hang out.

Amazing view. Florence is my favorite of all my traveling. Booked a room here online and i was aware of the price, but as usual Italian hotel staff treats English speaking guests with extra respect by doubling other services. I understand very well Italian but they were not aware of the fact. Waiter made inappropriate comments in his Southern Italian Dialect about an an American couple. He basically said to his coworker: These stupid Americans, dont know the difference between a hamburger and Florentine steak., even though the American couple tip him more than anyone else... Disgusted from this episode, still hotel was amazing, If you visit Florence this hotel is perfect because of the location and view.. I am sure you will enjoy it. Just save your money and eat in Tratorias which you can find everywhere around this hotel.

Gorgeous hotel. Room is huge and bathroom is even bigger. Breakfast spread has good variety and baked goods are amazing. Great view from the terrace and wonderful staff. They have complimentary coffee and tea all day.

"NOT CUSTOMER FOCUSED" 2 of 5 starsReviewed 1 week ago We had only one night stay and one day to enjoy this beautiful city. Unfortunately, while the property plays up 13th century charm, there is nothing charming about being kept up all night by revelers on the street due to lack of effective noise cancelling insulation. Our room was small and felt vintage. The sewage truck comes by to empty out the tanks around 4am for about 40 mins. We did not sleep a wink and it colored our view of the hotel. We paid around $350.00 USD for the experience; I spoke with hotel staff who were very unsympathetic when I asked about the possibility of receiving some sort of break on the rate. When I wrote to the hotel manager, he basically said that was part of the experience of staying in an ancient city. Of course, we will never return but I wanted to put this out there for readers who need some assurance of quiet when sleeping. We were in Room 405. I also felt compelled to send this out because of the lack of concern one felt when bring the situation to the attention of the current hotel manager. Room Tip: If you are a light sleeper, select another property. See more room tips Green Features: Don't know of any environmental program, the plumbing and shower don't work well. Stayed October 2015, traveled as a couple http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g187895-d262542-r321970485-Antica_Torre_di_Via_Tornabuoni-Florence_Tuscany.html#

* We were lucky enough to spend three days in Florence during our honeymoon. We were even luckier to stay at this hotel. The rooms were very nice, especially considering the hotel used to be a medieval tower. The staff was amazing; they were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable about where to eat and great at providing directions. What truly sets this hotel apart from most is the view. The roof top terrace has spectacular views of the Duomo. Simply breathtaking.
