With hundreds of hotels to choose from in Florence we narrowed down our search to the Orto de Medici for a couple reasons that proved us well. The location was PERFECT - a few blocks from the action (without being IN the action) and yet within walking distance to everything. We also chose this location for the option of a... more

Hotel was just oustanding. Located about a five minute walk from the Duomo and Accademia in a very queit area somewhat away from the crowds of the city center. Rooms were very large and clean. The air conditioning worked superbly. In fact it was so cold at night, we had to turn it off. The breakfast area and the terrace... more

I have had the pleasure of staying several times at this hotel. It is a lovely, attractive and clean place. The location is handy for the station but not too close. One particular incident spoiled the hotel experience. When returning close to midnight, the hotel gate was locked and noone was at the reception desk to let me in. Despite... more

We stayed in the Orto de Medici for 4 nights---and it was FABULOUS! Everything about this hotel was perfect--the location, the room, the breakfast....EVERYTHING! WHen we checked in, we were told we were upgraded and that was a nice surprise after a long train ride! The room was incredible....huge with a brand new bathroom and a terrace that had a... more

The Hotel is centrally located close to all the tourist attractions yet in a quiet environment. We stayed one night in the Superior Room and the standard room. The views of Florence and its environs... more

I... more

We recently returned from a short stay at the Hotel Orto De Medici, and we'll definitely return for a second portion in the future. The hotel is conveniently located 10 mins from Duomo and the train station. In fact, it was a doddle seeing all the sights on foot from the hotel. The hotel's interior is classically Italian. The room... more

We stayed 4 nights at the Orto De Medici in June and found it to be a lovely hotel in the perfect place - far enough from the main tourist area to benefit from the more locals restaurants and bars but near enough to walk to all the sites within minutes, in fact it is an easy walk in one... more

My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Orto De Medici for three nights as part of our Italian vacation. We loved everything about this hotel. The staff was so helpful in securing reservations, answering our questions and just being overall friendly in every way. Each day we would ask for directions or suggestions and they were always willing to... more
