Rooms

In the heart of Florence, in a prestigious 13th century building, you will find the exclusive "Residenze d'Epoca" named: "Antica Torre di via Tornabuoni n° 1" and the "Palazzo Gianfigliazzi". The historic building, which belonged to the Gianfigliazzi family until the end of the 18th century, hosted numerous important historical figures. At the beginning of the 20th century, the palace was transformed into a "Piccioli Guesthouse", quickly becoming a favourite residence of the English aristocrats and literati that loved the atmosphere of Florence, birthplace of the Renaissance and the Sweet New Style, with its churches, works of art and unique cultural climate.

After the Great War, the Piccioli Guesthouse was closed, but reopened in 2001 under the name "Antica Torre", which was later to become the "Palazzo Gianfigliazzi" in 2008. Thanks to careful restoration work which preserved and brought back to life all of the buildings original appeal, the Via Tornabuoni palace acquired life and warmth once again. The magnificent complex is considered one of the historic "tower houses" of Medieval Florence, and it preserves to this day the original architectural characteristics. It is an admirable example of how man is capable of taking buildings which were once devised for the purposes of war into oasi of peace, culture and hospitality.

Guests of the "Antica Torre di via Tornabuoni n° 1" do not consider themselves simply clients, but special guests. They are surrounded by a unique atmosphere of charm and history, while at the same time enjoy an elegant and refined ambience, where the traditional fuses with the modern, offering a truly unforgettable stay.

The attention to detail and the warmth of the rooms make the "Antica Torre di via Tornabuoni n° 1" the premier choice when visiting the most beautiful city of art in Italy. This is emphasized, not only by the comfortable bedrooms, but also by the two magnificent terraces with their breathtaking panoramic views over the whole of Florence, which offer unforgettable emotional experiences.

“Top marks for everything”

The hotel was everything we wished for and a fantastic position, quiet but close to everything. The breakfast was good and the views from our bedroom and the terraces were to die for. Would recommend it to all our friends.

Area recommendations
If you stay in this hotel you will be no more than five minutes walk from all the attractions, enjoy Florence, b ut take plenty of money with you.

“Best view in Florence!”

We stayed here for 5 nights in June and this hotel was absolutely the best part of our experience in Florence. The rooftop terraces (one facing north and one facing south over the river) provide gorgeous views over all of the city and the surrounding hills. There is comfortable seating, an honour bar, a bartender prior to dinner and a complimentary breakfast buffet served here. It is a delightful space to start the day, rest during the afternoon or view the sunsets. Our room was exquisite, with designer wallpaper, wonderful beds, a luxurious and beautiful marble bathroom and a fantastic view overlooking the river. Breakfast was very good, the staff very professional and the location is ideal for walking to all the major sights. I suspect that when all the renovations are complete, this hotel rating will be upgraded, and it will be more expensive. It is a gem!

Area recommendations
This area is central to all major sights, restaurants and high-end shopping. It is easy to walk all of the historic district as it is not very large.

“No a very good experience in Italy!!!!”

Hotel is old, very old, rooms and corridors has a kind of smell which I really did not like it, elevator! oh my god!!! the biggest disaster is this elevator!!! it takes 5minutes to reach from 4th floor to the ground floor so I had to take stairs in so many occasions to save time!!! very very disappointing, reception is ok, just ok, the lady in counter was good and very helpfull,hotel has two very beautifull terrace which worths seeing, we had a good breakfast and that was the good part, over all experience was poor and even I have asked the reception to change our room but did not happen! I do not recommend the hotel for a long stay, maybe only for 1night, if you are looking for a nice looking hotel which offers quality service this is not the one, we asked the reception to call us a taxi for train station and he did and we were waiting in the lobby and he never bothered himself to see if taxi is there or not so I found out the taxi is waiting outside for 7 munites so we had to pay 11EUROS extra which was very very disappointing,not a very responsible reception,LOOK FOR A BETTER HOTEL!!!!

Area recommendations
Same area
What to pack
For europe always pack light
Must see
Dumo,Uffizi gallery,Aacademia,San lorenzo church and market, republica aquare,all the bridges and surrondings and hills around florence,it is a very beautifull city, off course do not forget the wines and ice creams, it was lovely!
Dining
We tried Gusto Pizza, the same one which other traveler recomended and it really was not good although it was very crowded but definately we were not happy with the taste so even we could not finish it and had to go some where else for different food so do not try Gusto Pizza!
Family-friendly activities
Segaway riding and tours, we really loved it and will never forget it!

“Incredible terrace”

My husband and I had an amazing stay at this hotel. We were treated well by the staff right from the start and personally shown to our room. We were also upgraded to a suite at no charge. The room was pretty large and nice and clean. Unfortunately they are doing some work on the front of the hotel so our window was partially covered, but that didn't really concern us because we knew we could look forward to the beautiful terrace. The two terraces are definitely the highlight of this hotel. I don't know where you could get a better view. One side faces the Duomo, while the other side faces the river. They have plenty of comfortable tables and chairs, and the honor bar is always stocked. A complimentary breakfast is also served on the terrace, which is really nice. The location also can't be beat - we were able to walk everywhere. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone staying in Florence.

Dining
Definitely go to Gusto Pizza - it is right across the river. The pizza is the best we had in Italy.

“Fabulous hotel in fabulous city”

This was my second trip to Florence and this hotel made it perfect. Small, great location, wonderful roof terrace with awesome views. Very comfortable bed and bathroom. The staff was very helpful. I will return!

Area recommendations
The piazzas were wonderful - sit and have a coffee or a glass of wine. The walks along the Arno River are very beautiful. The Duomo, San Croce and Ponte Vecchio are not to be missed... Also some of the best museums I have ever visited are here - the Academia, the Uffizi and the Medici Chapels.

“One of the best views in Florence”

The room was amazing. Relatively large. Marble bathroom. Excellent decor. The best part of this hotel is the view from the Terrace on the top floor. Perhaps the best view in all of Florence. This is a great hotel for a romantic getaway!

“Best view and best breakfast”

The room and the overall ambience of the hotel were all fantastic but the reception is only open for limited time and closes at 8/9PM at night. The main door is closed at 7PM so you have to make sure to carry your key otherwise you will be locked out... The view from the rooftop is amazing. The breakfast is very well prepared. Although it was unnecessary as it was late April, there was no air conditionning.
