Tallest tower in Florence

The Hotel Torre Guelfa in Florence, Italy

Hotel Torre Guelfa

If you want the feel of actually living in a Renaissance palazzo—not just an old building that has been fixed up as a hotel—grab an iron canopy bed in Giancarlo and Sabina Avuri's gem of a joint in Florence's main shopping district, just a block off the Arno river and a few blocks over from the Uffizi and Palazzo Vecchio.

Ask for your sunset cocktails to be served atop the tallest privately owned tower in town, built in 1280 and featuring a jaw-dropping 360-degree panorama over the heart of historic Florence and the surrounding hills.

Borgo SS. Apostoli 8, between Via de' Tornabuoni and Via Por Santa Maria
