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 ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - No on-site parking available ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Kitchenette - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Outdoor areas - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundromat nearby ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - In the city centre - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping centre - Next to a golf course - On a river ### Things to do - Ecotours nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Garden - No plastic coffee stirrers - No plastic drinking straws - Reusable cups - Reusable tableware - Unit size: 280 square feet - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/64000000/63890000/63881800/63881795/d77239aa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Donati Tower's Loggia: spectacular view of the Duomo, in the heart of Florence Historic Centre of Florence - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 126 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=63881795&PinnedHotelID=63881795&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18840000/18839500/18839424/612c2034.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Torre Lambertesca-FiorenTino, studio with big terrace over the roof of Florence Historic Centre of Florence - Kitchen - Air conditioning - Laundry - Microwave 9.6 Exceptional 51 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=18839424&PinnedHotelID=18839424&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102290000/102281700/102281624/5f8d3a05.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming Apartment in the Center of Florence Historic Centre of Florence - Air conditioning - Microwave 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=102281624&PinnedHotelID=102281624&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/45000000/44480000/44475500/44475403/f436177f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### San Lorenzo Terrace Duomo View, near the SMN station, Tram, Market.

We were able to walk everywhere! On our arrival, our hosts gave us a listing of all their recommendations of where to eat and what to see and they were all excellent. The little cafe just a few steps away had delicious breakfasts and lunches. Don’t miss the walk up to the Monastery of San Miniato to see an amazing view of Florence. Definitely have dinner at Osteria Caffe Italiano. ![A quite lunch with a bottle of Prosecco from our hosts](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/83d43fef-dd14-4a69-82fb-40f9234ae184-1748533019702.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![On the walk to San Miniato](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ead524a9-74ed-415b-a47c-6d7c7f48332b-1748533018968.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Spaghetti Carbonara with white Truffle Sauce and butter.

This is one of those special properties that you discover online and you hope it’s as good as it looks…then it’s better!! It has character and comfort at every turn. The building is a phenomenal 700 year old family heirloom, and it has been beautifully designed to take advantage of the incredible secret courtyard. The statues watch over you as you relax in the comfortable bed. The Carrera marble shower is more beautiful luxury. The kitchenette is just enough for drinks and snacks, and you’ll want to eat out anyway at one of the phenomenal restaurants (3-10 min walk) that are recommended on a helpful list from the kind and caring hosts. ##### Deanna R. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew K. 8 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A wonderful week in Florence We rented the ground floor studio with the private garden. It was so centrally located, and our hosts, Antonella and Stefano, could not have been more accommodating, as was their daughter. The studio was clean and the garden provided a peaceful oasis from the city. I highly recommend this property! ##### Matthew K.
