Sina Villa Medici, Autograph Collection

An upscale 19th-century hotel in Florence with two restaurants, a garden pool and a rooftop hot tub.

Why people love it

• Front desk. Andrea is named in three recent reviews, along with Neri, Cristiano and Kathia, for being friendly and helpful.
• Garden and pool. Guests describe a quiet garden feel with a pool, though one guest in August 2026 found the pool crowded.
• Air conditioning when it works. A guest in August 2026 said the air conditioning kept the room comfortable in 100 degree heat.
• Concierge. One guest said the concierge team helped them make plans for their stay.

Why they come back

"This was our second stay at Sina Medici and there's a reason for that."

The worst thing guests say

Air conditioning failures are the most serious recurring complaint. In July 2026 a guest had no air conditioning for three days in a heat wave and checked out, and in August 2026 another said it was broken in every room. Strong sewage smells in the corridors and rooms were reported in May and August 2024. Several guests also describe rude front desk or management responses, including in July 2026.

Insider tips

• Check with the hotel that the air conditioning is working before you travel in July or August.
• Ask for a room away from corridors if you are sensitive to smells.
• Ask the concierge to book restaurants early.
