Room 11 provides a walk-in shower and direct views of the Duomo from its windows. All rooms feature modern amenities like air conditioning and private bathrooms, with some suites including bathtubs overlooking the city.

Dining & Culinary Experiences

The hotel provides cooking classes led by owner Ana, where guests prepare local Florentine dishes that later become dinner. Themed dinner nights are held regularly, highlighting Tuscan recipes using ingredients from the hotel's organic vegetable garden. Breakfast is served on a terrace with panoramic views, offering pastries, cheese, ham, and fresh coffee.

Grounds & Facilities

Set within 32 hectares of gardens, the hotel features a seasonal outdoor swimming pool with panoramic views over Florence and a pool bar serving pizza, salads, and drinks. Guests encounter donkeys, chickens, and a dozen friendly cats roaming the grounds. The property also includes an organic vegetable garden that supplies the kitchen and a shaded terrace with outdoor furniture.

Location & Access

A 15-minute walking path through olive groves and vineyards leads from Hotel Torre Di Bellosguardo to Porta Romano, above the Boboli Gardens. The hotel is 4 km from Santa Maria Novella and 7 km from the Uffizi Gallery, with free private parking and an electric vehicle charging station on site. Taxis from the train station cost approximately €15, and the hotel provides concierge service for arranging transfers.

Family & Romance

Families with children appreciate the local farm animals-donkeys, chickens, and cats-that roam the gardens and delight young guests. Couples can book the cooking class with Ana, often described as a romantic activity by past guests.
