The Hotel Torre di Bellosguardo is a sumptuous 4-star historic residence, situated on the Bellosguardo hill. Its location is unique: despite being immersed in greenery and away from the city bustle, it is a short distance from the center, reachable in 10 minutes by car. This ancient palace, whose origins date back to the Middle Ages, offers one of the most spectacular panoramic views of Florence, embracing iconic monuments like the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio.
Torre di Bellosguardo boasts an illustrious history: it was the hunting lodge of the poet Guido Cavalcanti (Dante's friend) and later the summer residence of the Medici family during the Renaissance. Meticulously restored, the hotel has preserved the charm of past eras, with original frescoed lounges and large spaces that reflect the magic of an ancient private luxury home. The atmosphere is that of a classy residence, not a classic hotel.
The hotel offers 16 rooms and 7 suites, all characterized by a traditional Florentine style with antique furniture and refined decorations. Every accommodation is a haven of tranquility and comfort and includes: free Wi-Fi, LCD TV, minibar, safe, and soundproofed windows. The rooms and suites feature private bathrooms with a tub or shower, bathrobes, and complimentary toiletries. Accommodations on the upper floors, or those with access to the Tower, provide the best views of the city landscape.
The secular park surrounding the property hosts a beautiful seasonal outdoor pool, with a sun terrace that directly overlooks the Florence panorama. Adjacent to the pool is a poolside bar (snack bar) ideal for refreshments. The hotel also boasts an attached winery (vineyard and cellar), offering the opportunity for local wine tastings. Services include free parking, 24h reception, and pets are welcome (with supplement).
