Official Description (provided by the hotel):: n the heart of Florence, in a prestigious 13th century building, you will find the Historical Tower "Antica Torre di via Tornabuoni n° 1. 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 favorite 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". 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 oasis of peace, culture and hospitality. ... more less

“outstanding hotel”

Reviewed May 16, 2013 NEW

We were a group of 5 ladies and therefore decided to treat ourselves to a suite (3 beds and 2 bathrooms) and an adjacent deluxe room (rooms 101 and 102). An outer door enabled us to leave the room doors open if we wished to stay in contact. An ideal arrangement. Both rooms were very nice, very comfortble, overlooking Piazza... More

We recently had a 6-night stay at Antica Torre and couldn't have asked for more. Our corner room was comfortable, clean, sufficiently large and had a direct view over Piazza Santa Trinita (with the duomo cupola in the background) and a partial view of the Arno. The staff is outstanding. Everybody was extremely helpful and friendly. Antica Torre's location is... More

We stayed here the beginning of April for 3 nights. Excellent location and walking distance to all sights-- we walked to Pitti Palace, Boboli gardens, baslica de san miniato, piazza michelangelo, galileo museum, duomo, uffizi, the academy, and the train station! Room was a decent size for 2 people. A little odd scent everytime we would come back to the... More

Dear JL4350, grazie for the precious comment about your recent stay at the Antica Torre di Via Tornabuoni 1.
