Hotel Orto de' Medici: History, Art, and Secret Garden in the Heart of Florence
The Hotel Orto de' Medici is a refined 4-star boutique hotel, housed in an elegant Renaissance palace in the heart of Florence, on Via San Gallo. The location is privileged: a short distance from the Accademia Gallery (home to David) and just a 10-minute walk from the Duomo and the historic center. This historic residence celebrates the blend of 19th-century atmosphere and the most modern comforts.
The Orto: A Legendary Garden and Oasis of Peace
The hotel conceals a unique treasure within its walls: the enchanting internal garden (Orto). Legend has it that it was in this very "Orto" that in 1489 Lorenzo Il Magnifico first met a very young Michelangelo Buonarroti, starting one of the most important artistic collaborations of the Renaissance. Today, this Renaissance garden serves as a peaceful oasis, offering guests a serene retreat away from the city chaos.
Charming Rooms and Panoramic Views
The 42 rooms and suites are decorated in a warm Florentine style, with a touch of contemporary design. Every accommodation ensures maximum comfort, with free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, minibar, Smart TV, and soundproofed windows. The room options include Standard, Deluxe with Garden view, and Superior with a balcony, which provide spectacular glimpses of the Florentine skyline, including the famous Duomo Dome. The bathrooms are modern and equipped with bathrobes, slippers, and premium toiletries.
Exclusive Services: Breakfast, Terrace, and Music Room
Every morning, guests can enjoy a rich sweet and savory buffet breakfast, with Italian and continental specialties, served in the elegant renovated hall or on the panoramic terrace overlooking the garden. The hotel also features an exclusive 19th-century Music Room, finely restored with original frescoes, perfect as a lounge area for relaxation or socializing. Services include 24h reception, concierge service, and the option of using guarded private parking (for a fee) with valet service.
