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

Palazzo Doni By Florence Art Apartments is an aparthotel inside a recently renovated historic building. Each apartment has a private entrance, soundproofing, and multiple bathrooms in larger configurations. The Duchesa deluxe suite offers views of the library across the street, while loft apartments separate the sleeping area from the living space. Select rooms contain centuries-old frescos from the 1500s and 1800s.

The building has a spacious elevator, a rarity in older Florence palazzos, that was originally built for a furniture shop. Secure luggage lockers allow guests to store bags after checkout and explore the city. A vending machine dispenses bottles of champagne. The property provides a complimentary bottle of Chianti upon arrival.

Two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments come with ensuite bathrooms for each bedroom, offering private space for families. Larger units include a washing machine and dryer, plus a dishwasher and a fully fitted kitchen. The central location places the Conad supermarket within a five-minute walk for groceries.

The aparthotel is situated one street removed from the main tourist flow on a quiet street. It is less than one kilometer from Ponte Vecchio and within a 10-minute walk of the Uffizi Gallery and Piazza della Signoria. Florence Santa Maria Novella station is close by, and a paid parking garage is an 80-meter walk from the building.

Staff members are reachable via WhatsApp for queries and can arrange taxi bookings. The property offers private check-in and check-out with a greeter who meets guests at the entrance. A Dimsum restaurant is located right next door for late-night snacks and take-away meals.
