Hotel description
Hotel Orto de' Medici is located in a building dating back to the 19th century, originally holding flats that were occupied by Florence nobles.
In the first half of the 20th century the Bufalini family purchased the building and its adjoining garden, which is part of an international school of art.
When the Bufalini family took charge they restored the entire building and one year later Hotel Orto dei Medici was founded maintaining the original splendour of its origins, frescoed arched ceilings and parquet flooring, and at the same time offering modern facilities and comfort.
The "Terrazza dell'Orto- Music Bar" was created in 2003, once a garden which cradled the livelihood of Renaissance Art, to offer its guests a unique place for relaxing or to enjoy in the company of others.
Located in a peaceful position in the city centre just a few steps away from the Cathedral in Piazza del Duomo, the Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi Gallery and only five minutes away from the Fortezza da Basso, now a modern International trade fair center.
This clearly privileged position represents an ideal starting-point for visiting museums, making purchases in the most elegant shops of the city and taking part in conferences and seminars.
