Overlooking the Ponte Vecchio, the Hotel Degli Orafi offers a prime location for travelers seeking easy access to Florence’s historic monuments. The hotel’s slightly disorderly antique décor it is warm and reassuring at the same time. Many rooms have luscious views of the Arno, and a few have their own terraces. One in particular, the room 414, has its own terrace overlooking the river and the Ponte Vecchio and it is famous to be ‘The Room with a View’ (as featured in James Ivory’s film).

The front desk staff are available and helpful in securing rides and giving suggestions to navigate the city. We stayed in the ‘classic’ section of the hotel verses the newly renovated area. We had a sliver of a view of the river along the walk of Pointe Vecchio. The breakfast was complete and served early in the morning in a dining room with beautiful frescoes on the high vaulted ceilings.

We have just spent four wonderful nights at this hotel. The location is ideal for seeing the city and overlooks the river and Ponte Veccio. The staff are warm, friendly and helpful The breakfast rivals any thst I have had in my travels worldwide. Rooms are comfortable and well appointed.

The wonderful experience began with the concierge service. I requested transportation to pick me up at the train station, and it was very efficient. Check-in was smooth, and my room was ready with everything I expected. The room was excellent for one person, with a safe, kettle, mini fridge, a superb bathroom and towels, and a lovely fragrance diffuser. The overall atmosphere was very peaceful, perfect for a good night's sleep. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious, and the views from the room, the dining room, and the rooftop bar were unforgettable. A team of professionals managed the dining room with great efficiency. The same fragrance is present in the lobby, creating a very welcoming atmosphere. Similarly, there are different areas for reading, relaxing, or chatting. The same key card used to access your room also activates the electricity—a very clever design choice. The location is everything you could ask for and more: the Ponte Vecchio, the museums, the city center, and just around the corner, one of Florence's best restaurants, Antico Fattore, with excellent food and service. It is on a charming street; be sure to admire the art along the way.

I've stayed at the Hotel degli Orafi several times since 2002, and it's a perfect stay every time. The service is attentive, the beds are so comfortable, the views are amazing, and you can't beat the location. Oh, and the breakfast is outstanding! Beautiful ballroom, with abundant, delicious food.

Ideally located near Ponte Vecchio in an ancient palace. Wonderful breakfast in a sumptuous room . The best thing: the helpful and nice staff.
