Antica Torre di Via Tornabuoni 1 in Firenze, open April–August.
Built in the 15th century as a defensive tower, Antica Torre di Via Tornabuoni 1 is one of Florence's most historically significant structures along the Via de' Tornabuoni.
The tower underwent extensive restoration to become a luxury hotel that preserves its medieval architecture while offering modern amenities for celebrations.
Today it is an exclusive destination wedding venue, merging Renaissance heritage with contemporary hospitality.
We stayed in nine different hotels throughout Italy, and Antica Torre was the lowest price with the highest value. We booked a library junior suite and requested a river view. The room exceeded our expectations. Enclosed shower, separate wardrobe closets, big bathroom, fantastic view. The staff was great and breakfast was tasty. We also enjoyed a spritz on the roof. Great location, central to everything. *Tip: We had a noise machine and earplugs with us. Without it, we would have heard noise from the street below at night.
