About this property
Donati Tower Loggia: in the heart of Florence with spectacular views of the Duomo
"LA LOGGIA DELLA TORRE DONATI"—a 5th-floor apartment with an lift and a private loggia, suitable for 2–3 people, located in the tallest of the few remaining medieval towers. The pleasure of sipping a glass of wine at sunset, having breakfast, or simply daydreaming while gazing at the dome of the Duomo....... is a truly unique experience!! It’s the perfect base for exploring the city and its museums, restaurants, shops, and markets. You enter the apartment through a glass-enclosed loggia with a fantastic view of the famous dome of the Duomo, Giotto’s bell tower, the rooftops of the historic centre, and the hills surrounding Florence. Located on the 5th floor at the top of a marble staircase with 125 steps, it offers the (rare) convenience of an lift. The apartment (58 square metres) is perfect for 2–3 people: one double bedroom, a living room (with a single sofa bed), a Carrara marble bathroom with a large glass-enclosed shower, a well-equipped kitchen, a washing machine/dishwasher, Wi-Fi, and AC.
The Palazzo and the Tower are of great historical interest and are protected by the Superintendence for Artistic and Cultural Heritage of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities. It is therefore the ideal place to immerse yourself in the history and beauty of Florence’s golden age. The apartment is ideally located for walking to Florence’s most important sites and museums: among others, the Basilica of Santa Croce, Palazzo Vecchio in Piazza della Signoria, the Uffizi Gallery, the Bargello Museum, the Duomo with Giotto’s Bell Tower, the Medici Chapels in San Lorenzo, the Accademia Gallery, Ponte Vecchio, as well as Palazzo Pitti, the Church of Santo Spirito, and the Boboli Gardens on the Arno.

The beauty, history, and location of our DONATI tower apartment enriched our experience of Florence’s history, art, and architecture.
Our hosts and owners of this tower further engaged us in all surrounding wonders. During our stay, we were more than tourists.
Antonella and Stefano's apartment is perfect for visiting Florence. The apartment is in an amazing location, with a great view of the Duomo and the city/hillside. The location is great for exploring the city's museums, restaurants and shops. The hosts were very gracious and gave us additional recommendations for dining out and things to do.
An amazing apartment in a beautiful part of Florence! It had old world charm with modem necessities. We thoroughly enjoyed the view of the Duomo and the bat towels were the most luxurious we have ever had at a VRBO!
We had an amazing stay at this place, location is the best right in the heart of Florence and views of Duomo from the apartment are beautiful. Highly recommend this place!
Perfect location, in historic building, with the most lovely proprietor who shared all his favorite places to eat in Florence. The view was unbelievable, it lifted my heart every morning to look out on the Duomo and rolling hills, watching the swallows, and hearing the church bells.

Wow - if I could rate this place 10 stars I would! Stefano and Antonella were premiere hosts offering many local recommendations for restaurants and activities. Stayed here in the middle of our trip, able to do laundry and even cooked a dinner with ingredients from the market! The view is indescribable, sunsets and early mornings with the Duomo through the window. There are so many great restaurants close by. Feels like you have the best view in the city - we didn’t want to leave!
Beautiful, clean, historic apartment; walking distance to everything; spectacular view of the Duomo! Greatly appreciated the elevator!Antonella was a dream to work with!
The apartment is lovely with attention to every detail and the cleanliness of both apartment and building were excellent! You are right in the middle of all the action and the view of Dome is amazing. Thank you to owners for their hospitality!
Great property with Awesome Views. Clean and very convenient to walk to all of the key Florence sites. Host was extremely helpful at checkin and even helped us get to the taxi stand with luggage in tow.
The apartment was lovely and the hosts terrific. Don’t hesitate to stay in this charming and comfortable apartment.
The views are stunning and we never tired of our vantage point above the rooftops.
Many excellent shops, cafes, restaurants and gelato within steps of your front door.
We feel we were immersed in the culture and local neighborhood. Antonella and Stephen shared their favorite local Cafes, Osterias, and Trattatorias. All their suggestions were fabulous.
Beautiful apartment located in a wonderful neighborhood in the heart of Florence. The gracious owners made the arrival and departure process easy and provided great recommendations for dining in the city. Spectacular views made this place special and the accommodations were comfortable (and quiet) for our one week stay. I would highly recommend and would rebook here for sure.
We had a great time and this apartment is in the ideal location. It was extremely clean and just as described online. The view of the Duomo is breathtaking! Antonella was always available for questions or recommendations. We will be back for another visit in the future.
My husband and I are celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and knew we had to stay in Florence. Antonella’s apartment was spectacular. The views, location, comfortable bed etc were everything we hoped for and we did end up eating at quite a few of the restaurants she suggested. All the meals were memorable. Walking around the city was very easy and we were able to explore many of the museums and points of interest. I highly recommend this apartment and would love to stay here again in the future.
We loved our 5-night stay in this apartment. It was clean, comfortable, well-appointed, and in a great location . We especially appreciated the washing machine and lift. Antonella and Stefano were excellent hosts . They were quick to respond to any questions and gave us suggestions for restaurants and sightseeing. Best of all was the view! We would definitely stay here again!
We had a great stay in Donati Tower's Loggia. It is just as pictured on the web page. Antonella and Stefano were awesome hosts and provided us all the information we needed to get around Florence safely. They even allowed us to store our luggage for several hours after checkout and brought it down from the 5th floor to the 1st floor to make our departure that much easier. Would definitely stay here again.
I was in Florence to attend a language school. The apartment was comfortable and the view was breathtaking.
The owners were very gracious and accommodating. I plan on staying in the apartment again in a few months.
A fabulous apartment. The location was the perfect place to experience Florence. Unfortunately, we were not able to be greeted by the hosts due to a situation that didn't allow them to meet us on arrival. They did coordinate to have the cleaning staff meet us and complete the check in process for us. The process was somewhat challenging due to the individual did not speak English, but Google translate came in handy. Even this issue did not detract from an overall great experience.
This beautiful apartment exceeded our expectations! The decor is gorgeous, the bed is a dream, the AC worked beautifully and the views are breathtaking. Our hosts were beyond accommodating and gracious, and everything we wanted to see and do was within walking distance. The neighborhood is a feast for the senses. I cannot recommend highly enough!
