CLUB TORNABUONI

Residence Clubs have attracted a dedicated following among sophisticated travellers for more than a decade.

The concept offers an alternative to the outright ownership of a second home, offering a flexibility of usage throughout the year and often in conjunction with other buildings and locations within the Club.

Palazzo Tornabuoni is one of very few urban residence Clubs in Europe, and the first in the world to occupy a site of such historic and artistic significance (this is still the only Medici home in private hands).

This special status is reflected in its unique title of ‘Palace Residence Club’, and in its unrivalled Membership services and privileges.

There’s no small pleasure to be gleaned from being a Member of a Club that owns a stake in the palazzo where the world’s first opera performance took place; in knowing that the statue of Diana that welcomes you at the foot of the stairs has been there for three and a half centuries; in coming home to a spacious residence whose sapient design captures perfectly the classic but contemporary spirit of modern-day Florence.

Membership in the Club is your entrée to a unique and venerable Florentine lifestyle. The Club Lounge is not only a relaxing venue for an espresso or an aperitivo, but a meeting place where Members can exchange advice and experiences.

It’s also the focal point for encounters with visiting experts, ranging from wine tastings to informal talks on subjects as diverse as economics and modern Italian design.

And with the help of the Palazzo’s knowledgeable Attachés, whose Florentine contact books are second to none, Members can enjoy preferential access to museums, galleries and private collections, go backstage during an opera performance at the city’s Maggio Musicale festival, or take advantage of the exclusive entrée granted to Club Members at several of Tuscany’s most prestigious vineyards.
