Lovely luxurious hotel near main sights in Florence

Beautiful building, clean, nice garden and dining room, good location - quiet but close to main sites, lovely staff, very helpful and friendly, nice to have a welcome drink on arrival, room clean and well maintained

The bed was quite hard but we asked for mattress toppers which helped, breakfast could have had more savoury options, there was a lot of cake but it was a bit dry

Very good

A very convenient location for arriving from the airport and visiting the city’s sights.

The room window faced a closed courtyard, specifically an emergency staircase, which constantly emitted an unpleasant odor, including through the ventilation. The pillows in the room were uncomfortable.

An ideal, comfortable base for exploring Florence

The staff were very friendly and helpful; the breakfast is superb - if you've overdone it the night before, you can help yourself to a Bloody Mary; if you want to prolong the party, why not put prosecco on your cornflakes?

We could not find a spare blanket

Excellent hotel! Book without any concerns.

The room was very large. It overlooked a beautiful, small garden. The bathroom, closet, and entire room was so much larger than expected. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Florence.

There’s nothing that could have been better. The location was excellent. I was impressed by how close it was to everything but how quiet it was. We would certainly stay here again.

A calm, elegant oasis in Florence

Beautiful and glamorous rooms to eat and relax with tall windows and drapes. Our room was in the courtyard with a view of the lovely plants through the large high window. Places to relax awhile after breakfast and a short walk into the central squares. Breakfast was fabulous, so much choice.

Enjoyed my stay

Breakfast was very well served, and you can find many options available. I’ve stayed in 3 different hotels in Florence, and the best breakfast I had was in Orto dei Medici. Also, I liked the location - not so far from the historical center, but far enough from the noise. The staff is helpful. In general I had a nice experience staying in this hotel.

The rooms are a bit small, especially for 2 people. I’d recommend you to choose bigger rooms if you travel with someone. Unfortunately, I didn’t find a bathrobe in the room, you have to go to the reception to ask for one. And there is no blanket in the room, only a very thin cover (you can ask for a blanket but it’s better to leave one in the room I think)

Royal feeling in the heart of Florence

It is an old building that was owned by Medici Family so expect high ceiling and a touch of royalty when it comes to common spaces. The rooms are modern, with nice air conditioning systems and the sower is pure pleasure. The stuff is very gentle and helpful. They give you all sort of explanations about the city. Breakfast is good, with a choice of cheese, meat, scrambled eggs and fresh fruit. Plenty of choices on the sweet side and a touch of luxury (you can prepare mimosa) Close to the city center

Perfect location close to everything! Quiet at night. Our room was spacious and very comfortable, we had a huge patio/balcony off our room. Very good breakfast. The staff was AMAZING!! The front desk ladies were exceptional, especially Anaras (I think that was her name..?) and Francesco, and Alessandro from the bar area. They were extremely helpful and accommodating. Grazie ragazzi!!

Pretty Hotel, Walking Distance to Most Everything

Located very close to lots of piazzas and great restaurants, including the San Lorenzo market/piazza. Breakfast was phenomenal! One of the best we had throughout our Italian travels. Lovely hotel and grounds overall, except disappointingly a broken fountain in the center of the garden.

The shower has a very narrow glass partition, leaving most the shower open, and therefore you are freezing the whole time you are taking a hot shower. Also, water gets everywhere in the bathroom floor. Very inefficient design. The beds were rock hard. Very uncomfortable! Lastly, most of the hotel staff was quite nice, but one lady in particular was extremely difficult about our request to have ice brought to our room and tried denying us a free bottle of water on our third night, when we had received it our previous two.

Great location and a wonderful holiday!

Breakfast was delicious and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. The hotel was in a fabulous location and walking distance to all the wonderful attractions florence has to offer. the room was nice and a good amount of space for unpacking. I would recommend this to friends and family.

The room was a bit basic/bare and could have had more plug sockets as we were limited on what we could use at once.
