We spent four days at this wonderful oasis in May, 2008, following a lengthy correspondence with its management as to our wishes. This boutique met if not exceeded all of our expectations in terms of elegance, room size, quality of housekeeping, tranquility, location and helpfulness of staff. We also very much enjoyed our private terrace with its wonderful views. The... more

My husband and I just returned from a trip to Tuscany and we ended in Florence. The Antica Torre was the perfect place to stay. Great location (overlooking the Arno - one bridge from the Ponte Vecchio); lovely rooms; fantastic 360 degree views from the roof top patios; excellent breakfast (served on the roof top); very friendly and helpful people... more

My husband, adult daughter and I spent two nights in this charming hotel. We had requested room 305 which has a large patio area. They accomodated us by adding an extra bed so we could all share the space. The balcony was important since my husband did not always want to leave the hotel when we went out shopping, etc.... more

Well, I will say, this was the biggest splurge of our trip, but neither one of us regret it at all. The balcony views are simply amazing. I really don't think the Duomo would have been the same had we not been able to enjoy it from the terrace. It was so cool to look out over the city and... more

I would like to clear up a misconception from 2 other reviewers that said the elevators are extremely slow. We almost didn't stay here because of this. I am happy to report that the elevators are not slow. I timed how long it took to get from the lobby to our floor, and it was 45 seconds. I agree with... more

I read about this place in Sandra Gustafson's "Great Sleeps in Italy" and then looked at their site. The views are amazing. I wanted my first trip to Florence to be magical, so I made this the splurge for the trip and don't regret it at all. This place is wonderful--great location, beautiful rooms, excellent staff and even the great... more

Florence, Italy Antica Torre di via Tornabuoni November, 28, 2007 We stayed at Antica Torre for four nights in October, 2007 and had a delightful experience. We had reserved a superior double but were upgraded to an apartment with double windows that overlooked the Arno river. The window was situated a bit high but we considered the 2 marble steps... more

We were in Florence for three days during our 16 day trip in Europe. Air Canada had lost my bags and when we arrived in Florence we were on Day 5 with no bags. The front desk took over calling the baggage handling company and the airline to find my bags and get them to us. I don't think I... more

I have just returned from a 5 day stay in the Antica Torre di Via Tornabuoni and we had a terrific time. Florence is a truly beautiful city and the situation of this residence was absolutely perfect. Our room was spacious and very quiet even tho' it was next to the main street - above Versace, opposite Feragammo, with Roberto... more
