Karen's Review Of
Hotel Orto de’Medici:
Hotel Orto de’Medici:
Orto de’Medici was named for the Medici family’s extensive gardens and orchards that once existed on the site of this hotel. Capable father-and-son team Emilio and Giacomo Bufalini recently took over the reins and took on the challenge of completely refurbishing the family’s prim, centuries-old palazzo. Public areas maintain the ambiance of an elegant private home—the frescoed foyer and sitting rooms are graced with portraits, chandeliers, overstuffed armchairs, and Oriental carpets—while services and facilities in bedrooms conform to European Community standards. The spacious upper-floor guestrooms are reached by an elevator and are decorated with classic style. They have matching armoires and beds and all but ten have smart new gray-and-white-marble bathrooms. Several rooms on the top floor have a terrace or balcony with dreamy views over red Florentine rooftops. Perhaps the architectural highlight is the gracious breakfast room (breakfast is a buffet), with high ceilings, original parquet floors, and frescoed panels depicting garden scenes all around. French doors lead from this area to an outdoor terraced flower garden with wrought iron chairs and tables and a lovely view of San Marco church. Wine and cheese tastings are held here in the late afternoon. Dynamic young host Giacomo and his efficient and friendly staff ensure a perfect city sojourn.

We stayed at the Orto dei Medici 3 times in 2010. Each time we were delighted by the professional and friendly welcome we received from the front desk staff, and we appreciated their clear directions and delicious recommendations. The breakfast is varied and served in a lovely orangerie overlooking the patio. In warmer months, breakfast and evening cocktails are served on the patio. The new rooms are large and airy and the hotel is very quiet with it’s inner courtyard. It is perfectly locat...

Very warm welcome, very accommodating and helpful staff. Breakfast room was bright and cheery, staff helpful and forever filling up the serving plates, lots to eat. Free internet, once we figured it out, allowed us to keep in touch with family especially given the earthquake in Italy at that time. Recommended restaurants were excellent. The museum reservations we booked through the hotel on-line made access without the long line ups easy. The one disappointment was the tour of Tuscany which...

Dear Guest, thanks for the review!
You booked a standard classic room, next time I suggest you to ask for a deluxe room or a room with view or, why not, the special Junior Suite!
Thanks
