Hotel Orto De' Medici

A 19th-century frescoed palace hotel near the Accademia in Florence with a garden and a breakfast room.

Why people love it

• Breakfast. Guests call the buffet fantastic and complete, and one says it is relaxed with no rush.
• Welcome touches. Guests mention welcome drinks and free ice creams or popsicles in summer.
• Clean, quiet rooms. A junior suite on the ground floor was described as very large, very quiet and with excellent air conditioning.
• Location. It is about 5 minutes from the Accademia, 10 from the Duomo and 15 from the Ponte Vecchio, on a quieter street.
• Staff. Guests name Ann for pre-arrival emails and Alazne for service.

Why they come back

"I have always loved my stays at Hotel Orto De'Medici."

The worst thing guests say

Complaints about specific rooms recur. A guest in May 2026 had a window facing an emergency stairwell, and another in February 2025 had a hot interior room that smelled bad when the window was open. In June 2025 a guest listed poor maintenance, and two guests in June 2024 reported noise from other rooms and a standard double reached by stairs. Insects were reported in 2022, and nothing similar appears in recent reviews.

Insider tips

• Book a superior room or a junior suite, as one guest said the difference is large.
• Ask for a room that does not face the stairwell or the interior of the building.
• Use the garage and ask for directions before you arrive.
