Hotel Degli Orafi

Excellent Hotel, Excellent customer service,fantastic location, we visited Florence on a short break to celebrate out 25th wedding anniversary, we couldn't have picked a better hotel, from the minutebwe arrived and shown to our room, to be given free T-shirts, a bottle of their own wine and some chocolates,the visit couldn't have been any better, the room was fantastic with a great view of the Doumo and the Ponte Vechio, I would not hesitate to use the hotel again (see photo's), the breakast as an american buffet breakfast all beautiful and well run with Franco in charge pulling the strings, overall a great stay went over and beyond to look after us. The root top bar was superb called disropia brilliant views and you could easily stay there most of the afternoon, if I was being ultra picky the only thing I would say could better it would be to have tea & coffee facilities in the room apart from that everything was absolutely fantastic

The hotel is in the perfect location right by the Ponte Vecchio and Uffizi Gallery. We were lucky enough to stay in “The room with a view” and I think it probably has the best views of any hotel in Florence from the fantastic private terrace overlooking the river and Ponte Vecchio. It was the perfect place to sit and watch life in Florence and the sunsets were magical. Whilst the terrace was wonderful the actual room was small and bed was uncomfortable. I asked for coffee pods for the coffee machine twice but they never arrived. The restaurant only served breakfast and this was average. Tea/coffee and the limited hot items were warm and definitely not hot every day we were there. If you wanted lunch, dinner or room service this was available from the rooftop bar. The menu was limited but the staff there were very friendly. Not too much of an issue with plenty of other restaurants close by. If you are coming to Florence this is a hotel in the right location to walk to the main sights. If you can book the room with a view do it - the terrace is definitely worth it and the views of Florence will stay with you forever.

We stay here every time we visit Florence. You cannot beat the location. While not all the rooms have been renovated, it’s very clean and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. We look forward to our next visit.

We stayed in the “Room with a View” -suite 414 - a bucket list item for me as I adored the 1986 movie that included some scenes from this room. We had waited 7 years to stay here, as we first contacted the hotel in 2018 when planning our dream Europe trip. Unfortunately Covid struck in 2020 when our trip was booked for. Health reasons prevented us from taking this trip until 2025. So you can imagine our excitement & emotion when we saw our room for the first time. The balcony with views of the Arno River and Ponte Vecchio bridge was spectacular! (It’s the only room in the hotel with a balcony). The fragrant jasmine growing on the balcony was just beautiful. We couldn’t fault the suite, the hotel, or the staff. All were wonderful! Loved the rooftop bar, and the amazing dining room where an extensive breakfast is served. Nothing was a problem for all the staff, from the cleaners to the reception staff. The location was so central to all the iconic and historic buildings and galleries etc. While the central city was very busy, we always found our suite to be a peaceful sanctuary from the busy-ness outside. And at night, we had restful, peaceful sleeps. So thank you to Barbara Toscana for her great communications over the years - we loved every minute of our long-awaited special stay!

We just returned from a stay at this beautiful hotel. The location is close to everything, and the rooms are beautiful and clean. The chocolates on the pillow at night were so welcome after a long day of sightseeing. The staff was very professional and friendly, and provided some great restaurant recommendations. The daily breakfast is delicious and plentiful, and is served in the most gorgeous room! When I come back to Florence, this is where I will stay.
