Palazzo Doni By Florence Art Apartments – A Favorite for Families in Florence

Palazzo Doni by Florence Art Apartments offers a combination of hotel-like services with apartment-style living, including fully equipped kitchens in select rooms. Guests can choose from a wide variety of room configurations, including apartments with multiple bathrooms, duplex lofts, and deluxe suites. Some units retain original 1500s and 1800s frescoes with high ceilings and provide private entrances for enhanced privacy.

All air-conditioned units feature high-level soundproofing ensuring a quiet stay, with private bathrooms that include free toiletries and bathrobes. The property has a spacious elevator, lockers for luggage storage after checkout, and outdoor furniture. A vending machine with champagne is available, and the hotel offers private check-in/check-out services.

The aparthotel is located 600 meters from the Uffizi Gallery and less than 1 km from Ponte Vecchio, with Piazza della Signoria a short walk away. The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and Piazzale Michelangelo are within walking distance. Florence Santa Maria Novella train station is nearby, and a Conad supermarket is less than a 5-minute walk from the property.

Palazzo Doni provides family rooms suitable for larger groups, with options that include two-bedroom apartments with ensuite bathrooms for each room. The apartments come with in-unit washer/dryer machines, dishwasher, and refrigerator, making extended stays convenient for families with young children. The property is located on a quiet street, yet within close proximity to all major attractions, offering a peaceful retreat after exploring.

The building is a recently renovated historic palazzo where Michelangelo is believed to have painted his Doni Tondo, now housed in the Uffizi Gallery. The property was formerly a furniture shop, which explains the unusually spacious elevator compared to other historic Florentine buildings. The building is situated within the ZTL (Limited Traffic Zone), and a paid parking garage is located 80 meters from the accommodation.
