Indeed the views mentioned by the other reviewers are exquisite. However the noise at night, also mentioned in the other reviews, is horrendous. I am a very heavy sleeper & even with my earplugs I couldn’t sleep. It’s not only the noise of drunk patrons & breaking glass bottles below; there are ambulances, traffic, loud music late into the night (3am). Be sure to bring your own soap, shampoo etc. One other important note : to access the apartment you must walk up SEVERAL flights of steps (4-5) before you can reach the elevator. Also to access the terrace you’ll need to be extremely careful as the steps are small & the stairs are very steep, & go straight up. Not suitable for those with fears of heights. A slip-and-fall on the inside stairs heading up to the large terrace would cause injury.
On the positive side, the history of this 12th century tower is amazing & the location is ideal. The views are indeed phenomenal. We walked to Ponte Vecchio & most museums on both sides of the River.
Charming home. The wine bottle upon arrival was very thoughtful & appreciated!
