No one could escape loving Florence with all its bold and timeless treasures, but few know that right in the heart of these is a more personal and friendly one, The Hotel Orto De Medici is like snuggling in among bolder glories and making your home there.

This reasonably priced family operated hotel proved a perfect hub for exploring Florence. Situated a few blocks from the Duomo area, it provided a nice retreat away from the crowds. Yet you can access the Accademia, the Duomo, the Market and other attractions with a five minute walk. Accommodations were spare but comfortable in our family-friendly triple. Breakfast was OK...

I found this hotel to be in a nice location. The rooms were ok but perhaps a bit dated. I believe there are rooms that are more updated. We had a room on the street which was quite noisy...rooms that face the courtyard would be better. Speaking of the courtyard, it's quite nice and a wonderful place to enjoy a... More

We spent 4 nights here. The staff were welcoming but unlike other reviews we did not find them as helpful about information regarding where to go,etc. I did ask where to buy Firenze Card and was told at the Tourist Information but not told where that was. In the end it wasn't so difficult for us to find the nearest... More

We spent five nights here and loved every minute. From the moment we stepped into the elegant lobby it was clear this was a special place. Our room was small but comfortable and very well maintained.

We spent two nights here and found the staff to be particularly helpful. Our room (particularly the bathroom) was a little worn. We asked if anything more up-to-date was available and were told that although they were full for that night, they could move us to a nicer room the next day. We ended up being too lazy to repack...

Overall, our stay was very pleasant; however, make sure that you confirm that you will have air conditioning in your room! Before booking this hotel, we thoroughly searched the internet and did plenty of research on hotels in Florence that specifically had air conditioning available. Orto de Medici’s website specifically stated “air conditioning” as one of their amenities. Nowhere on... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
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). ... more   less
