Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Dimitris LSydney, Australia54,612 contributionsCampanile di Giotto was constructed in the 14th century. The person responsible for its building was the artist Giotto whose name the tower bears. It's a beautiful building and the views from the top are absolutely wonderful, provided you can climb the 414 steps up the tower and then go down the same way! It's much easier than it might sound!Written 30 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Dimitris LSydney, Australia54,612 contributionsThe ninety four metre Tower of Arnolfo is part of the Palazzo Vecchio. Interestingly the tower does not seem to be centrally located in the palazzo, the reason being that it had been built for a previous building! It remained when the Palazzo was completed. Its main use appears to have been that of a prison!Written 5 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ugo CReykjavik, Iceland750 contributionsVery cool and old watchtower from the Roman Empire. Very nice to see how it has survived and kept outside the historic center.Written 20 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TommoMelbourne, Australia57,121 contributionsWe discovered this tower whilst on our walking tour.
Its one of the tallest surviving towers of Florence with a small garden on its side towards Borgo San Jacopo.
The top floor of the tower was added after the 14th Century. It has a creeping vine going up the tower.Written 18 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We ordered 1 starter, 2 main courses - first main was served, 1/2 hour later the starter. Second main never arrived at the table, was however on the bill. The waiter was not surprised, didn’t offer any appologies, but did provide a new and correct bill. Thanks for that!
If in the surroundings, check out Torrino de Santa Rosa, reflect on its great potential, but don’t order.Written 11 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

In the 1800’s a goldsmith, who added the distinctive terracotta additions to the façade (2 saints flanking the Annunciation, which is above the door), bought itWritten 16 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rob L9 contributionsA long climb to the top but worth the view when you get there. There are a number of platforms to view as you climb. I paid an entry fee of 15 Euro at the booth inside the base of the tower.Written 10 July 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
