Antica Torre di Via Tornabuoni 1  

In the heart of Florence’s Historic Centre on Via de' Tornabuoni, this romantic period residence sits steps from the Salvatore Ferragamo Museum, Santa Trinita Church, the Arno and Ponte Vecchio. Perfect for family-friendly city breaks and lovers of Renaissance sights — most landmarks are within a short walk.

Housed in a restored mid-12th-century tower-house, the Antica Torre blends medieval bones with refined period style. The individually decorated rooms (about 22–25) feature minibars, DVD players or Smart TVs, premium bedding and private marble baths; some suites show frescoes, Alcantara or gold marble bathrooms and romantic four-poster beds. Almost all rooms enjoy city or Arno River views.

Soak up the skyline from a rooftop terrace, rent a bicycle to explore, or unwind with beauty and wellness services including a massage room. Social spots include a bar/lounge, library and garden/picnic space. Family-friendly touches include a children’s playroom and babysitting (surcharge).
