For our first trip to Florence we chose Orto de Medici based on the reviews on this website. We weren't disappointed. The hotel is located slightly north of the main tourist attractions of Florence. However it is only a 5-10 minute walk to the Duomo. Piazza San Marco is just around the corner and there are plenty of buses available... more

We stayed for 5 days in Sept 2008. The hotel has been fully refurbished in recent years and is stylishly appointed. It is well located, within easy walking distance of the main attractions (do not try to keep a car in Florence). The room was a reasonable size and clean, but sound insulation can be a bit weak (e.g. plumbing),... more

Chose this hotel through reviews by others, and was extremely pleased by the location, the staff, and the general atmosphere. This was my first time in Italy, and staying at Orto de Medici felt just like home, and was sunny, bright and utterly charming. Close to San Marco square and busses, but on a quiet charming street. Loved it, loved... more

This medium-priced Hotel offers a very good price to service ratio. The rooms are very clean and being an old but refurbished building, it has high and well appointed rooms.The hotel offers - as a garni hotel - an excellent breakfast (self-service from two tables). Being not on a thoroughfare, it is quiet at night. Its situation in relation to... more

The best thing about Orto is its reception. Rachel (?), Francesco, and a third gentleman were excellent, kind and helpful, and informed. My room was large and clean, with a modern bathroom, and a huge window that looked out onto the street. I enjoyed leaning out and watching the street life. The street was noisy, but when I shut the... more

We found this hotel to be a haven within this beautiful city. It was in easy walking distance of the station and all the main attractions. Don't miss the terrance where we took cocktails in the evening and a most enjoyable breakfast each morning. The room was well appointed with wooden floors and very good air conditioning,needed for a good... more

many people I've met were slightly dissapointed about Firenze, as the city doesn't have the romantic flair you might expect, althougth it has beauty in abundance, way more then any other city. In most cases it's hidden behind a facade. It's a brilliant place, and i can higly recommend it, but if there's anything that does indeed live up to... more

My companion and I booked this hotel for a 4 night stay in February through Expedia. We were pleased to see so many good reviews on Tripadvisor and indeed the hotel lived up to these good reviews. We had each booked a double room for single occupancy and were delighted to see what fabulous rooms they were. Mine had a... more

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
