Located on the fourth floor of one of the few remaining medieval towers, incorporated in a late Renaissance palace. Ideal for 4 people, with living room, fully equipped kitchen, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms with shower cabin, wi-fi, AC. If you wish to book another apartment in the TOWER: THE DONATI TOWER'S TERRACE - with large private panoramic TERRACE, 5th floor w/lift, 2 bedrooms, for 4 people, AC, wi-fi - https://www.vrbo.com/11205906ha THE DONATI TOWER’S LOGGIA - with panoramic LOGGIA, 5th floor w/lift, 1 bedroom + 1 sofa bed for 2/3 people, AC, wi-fi - https://www.vrbo.com/10825778ha THE SPHINX OF THE SECRET GARDEN - studio with private access to the GARDEN, on the ground floor, for 2 people, AC, wi-fi - https://www.vrbo.com/10824359ha THE PALACE AND ITS SURROUNDINGS The ancient 13th-century tower belonged to the powerful Donati family. When the fortune of the Donati waned, the tower was incorporated in the second half of the sixteenth century into the Palazzo degli Albizi, a family of Florentine merchants and bankers who competed for a long time with the Medici for city supremacy. From the Albizi the palace passed in the 18th century to the Tassinari family and finally in 1929 to the family of the current owners. The apartments located in a very central and ancient street, as well as the entire Palace and the Tower, are of great historical interest and bound by the Superintendence of artistic and cultural heritage of the Ministry of Culture. It is therefore the ideal place to dive in the history and beauty of the golden age of Florence. The Donati Tower Apartments are located in an ideal position to reach on foot the most important sights and museums of Florence: among others, the Basilica of Santa Croce, Palazzo Vecchio in Piazza della Signoria, the Uffizi Gallery, the Bargello Museum, the Duomo with Giotto's Bell Tower, the Medici Chapels in San Lorenzo, the Accademia Gallery, Ponte Vecchio, as well as Palazzo Pitti, the church of Santo Spirito and the Boboli Gardens across the River Arno. Being the owner a librarian by profession, he is of course obliged to suggest a visit or two to the nearby municipal library of the Oblate, in via dell'Oriolo, achieved in a spectacular architectural environment, with a large terrace and bar practically under the Brunelleschi’s Dome of the Duomo: internet, reading rooms, international magazines, children's room… Bakery, greengrocer, butcher, newsagent, supermarket and pharmacy are a short step from the apartment, as well as the typical market of Sant'Ambrogio where to find all the Tuscan food specialties, and taverns and restaurants, with great traditional Tuscan cuisine. And eventually shopping in the boutiques of the most famous Italian and foreign designers on the nearby via Calzaiuoli, via Roma, via Tornabuoni, via della Vigna Nuova. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa -

Very nice apartment with new bathrooms & kitchen and a great location. Owners were nice. However, the next door neighbor would bang on the wall and yell even when we spoke quietly to each other during evenings. VERY thins walls & a neighbor very sensitive to noise even when at a very very quiet level. We couldn’t speak to each other without whispering or we would get yelled out—made it incredibly hard to be at home! ##### Scarlett G.

We had a marvelous stay in Florence! Stefano and Antonella were wonderful hosts. Their hospitality and care for us began days before we even arrived when Antonella realized there was a transit strike on the day we were taking to train from Venice to Florence. She helped us to find a different train which was guaranteed to run even during the strike, saving us a long and frustrating day. With the change in train, we arrived much sooner than planned and they accommodated our new arrival time. Stefano greeted us warmly as we arrived and showed us the apartment which was a perfect mix of traditional beauty and modern convenience. It was spotlessly clean. The bathrooms are brand new and were like a spa. The apartment is located in the heart of Florence. We walked everywhere and experienced so much in our short three day stay. It was exactly the experience we had hoped for as we planned this trip. Grazie Mille Stefano e Antonella!! ##### Tara Z. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donna M. 18 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Marvelous Medieval Tower Apartment Everything was absolutely perfect and breathtaking in our apartment. Our host Antonella and Stefano were precious. They greeted us upon our arrival with a tray of strawberries and chocolates, and were so sweet and gracious. The living quarters (entry and living room) are so beyond charming and make you feel like you’re living in the past. However, the kitchen and bathrooms have been recently remodeled and are spacious and beautiful. There is one king bed in the master bedroom and two twin beds in the second bedroom. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms are very spacious. I was traveling with my daughter, and 21-year-old and eighteen -year-old granddaughters. The air conditioning worked excellent and we truly had all of the comforts of home. We all four loved this apartment and would come back on our next visit to Florence. The location could not have been better. You literally walk out of your door on the street and straightahead across the narrow one lane road is a delicious restaurant, and along this road are many restaurants, shopping, and a very short walk to the core of Florence and the Duomo. I highly recommend this apartment!! ##### Donna M.

We were really impressed with this apartment during our stay in Florence and our hostess was very thoughtful and accommodating. She had someone meet us when we checked in and showed us around the apartment. There was a beautiful tray of cherries and chocolate in the kitchen along with a bottle of Prosecco and water in the refrigerator. The place was incredibly clean and wonderful modern bathrooms. We appreciated the washing machine as we arrived during a heatwave. The first night one of the bedrooms was a bit warm, but when we reached out to our hostess, she was very prompt in getting back to us to help troubleshoot the issue and the room was comfortable after that. We want to thank her for letting us stay in her beautiful apartment and we would definitely come back! ##### Allen W.

Stephon met us when we arrived and gave us all necessary instructions and delighted us with fresh strawberries, chocolate, and a bottle of Prosecco! Those were the best strawberries I have ever had! The apartment is beautiful and in a great area, surrounded by restaurants and a short walk to all activities. And if you like a hot, strong shower, this is the place to go! The beds were very comfortable with lots of pillows. And the elevator worked great! We were also able to get a taxi directly to the front door, and we were able to get an Uber black just around the corner for our departure. My son and I really enjoyed our stay! Thank you, Stephon! And I am sorry if I am misspelling your name. I can’t get to my original email right now to check it. ##### Frances P.

Great location with easy access to everything! Absolutely beautiful old building with all the modern conveniences you could ever need. They left us a bottle of Prosecco with a plate of fresh strawberries that were the best I’ve ever tasted . Beds were very comfortable. Highly recommend! ##### Perri S.

The hosts are incredibly welcoming and accommodating even with a young family. The view from the balcony is unmatched and a perfect place to unwind with some wine at the end of a long day. The apartment is well stocked and had all the comforts one could ask for. We look forward to returning in the years ahead! ##### Neil B.

Location can’t be beat, near everything. Quiet and yet in the hustle and bustle of the city. Views are lovely and the accommodations are pretty. Thank goodness they have an elevator because it was located on the 4th floor. Bathrooms and kitchen are all updated and clean and WiFi works great. Loved everything about our stay. ##### Amy G.

The place is beautifully appointed, spacious, and well equipped, and the hosts are wonderful! The apartment has the old charm of Florence, but all newly done! The elevator was a definite bonus! Can’t say enough about the views from the terrace, so beautiful. Stefano meet us upon arrival to give us a tour of the apartment and all other pertinent information. He even provided great recommendations for food. He was available if we had any issues – which we didn’t! The location is great, very central! Highly recommend. ##### Heather C.
