Travellers' Choice
The Florence Hotel Orto de' Medici’s location is ideal because while located in the “historic center” of Florence it is just outside the noisy hustle and bustle…which is only a short walk away. When walking through our hotel in Florence, you really do feel like you are in a classic and upscale historic building. The front desk staff is very helpful and friendly, and from the moment you arrive you are made to feel very welcome. Each room is uniquely and elegantly appointed, a restful oasis for the busy traveler. The bathroom is very spacious and the shower is wonderful after a long day of sightseeing. Breakfast, with plenty to select from, is served in a cozy room that spills out into a welcoming patio and a beautiful little garden. The hotel lobby and reading rooms are a nice place to relax after a full day of sightseeing (plus free internet - either wifi or with brand new Apple computers).

What a superb hotel! We are a family of 4 with 2 teenagers and the large suite had ample room. Beautifully appointed room, gorgeous public spaces, very clean and incredibly attentive staff. A high-end, luxury feel throughout. The breakfast is fantastic and the location is central to everything, but also very quiet at night. I could not recommend this hotel more and look forward to returning hopefully soon!

Hotel's Favourite
My husband and I stayed in a few very nice hotels during our recent tour of Italy, but this place was our favorite. Be sure to read your packet from the hotel when you arrive in your room; you'll discover you are staying in the footprint of Bertoldo's former school for young artists - attended by a teenage Michelangelo. Every aspect of our stay was delightful. The front desk staff were very kind and helpful, as were the very sweet and swift breakfast attendants and the bartender, who offered us a complimentary welcome drink on the raised porch overlooking the lovely courtyard. Our room was comfortable and quiet, despite its location on a main thoroughfare of the city that led to many famous attractions and wonderful eateries. We thought the place was just beautiful, and made many indelible memories there.

I highly recommend! I would not hesitate to come back; it was wonderful. PROS --entire staff was incredibly kind and friendly. They truly made every day of my visit brighter with what good people they were! Above and beyond nice. --hotel is gorgeous. I honestly enjoyed looking at it and walking around. --room was spacious and comfortable and elegantly designed! Loved my room. --location is fabulous. Very easy to walk to all the main sites. --amazing breakfast area; gorgeous and delicious CONS --It's a bit of a long walk to the train station, so if you're connecting to other cities, just a heads up on that. I think if I did it again, I'd do a taxi.

Everyone at Orto de Medici deserve top reviews. The service staff at breakfast were bright and cheerful when we were foggy and jetlagged. Alazne was particularly helpful when I had questions or requested extra pillows and advice. It made us feel like we were "at home" while thousands of miles away. Grazie mille!

Orto De'Medici is a superb place to stay. The room was spacious, quiet, and spotless. The staff I encountered -- front desk, breakfast, housekeeping, porter -- were all friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a plentiful, delicious buffet, hot and cold. (A bar open from 5:30 to 8:30 pm operates only in summer, but the location overlooking the hotel's garden seems ideal.) The hotel is an easy walk from the Piazza del Duomo, Santa Maria Novella, the Mercato Centrale, the Accademia, the Medici chapels, and many other well-known destinations. I walked to Oltrarno 3 times, a bit farther but easy to reach. The front desk staff's tip to go to the nearby, lesser known San Marco museum was spot on. I stayed 6 nights at Orto De'Medici and when I visit Florence again, this is where I will stay.

Hotel full of character and history. Excellent location. Room quiet and kept spotlessly clean. Staff excellent and very helpful. We had a room with a garden view with verandah overlooking gardens where Michael Angelo learned to sculpt. Amazing historical facts about this building which added to the pleasure of staying there.
