    diverse breakfasts
    small closet
    noisy air conditioning

    Enjoyable daily breakfasts pleasingly diverse.

    The room was quite small and lacked a fridge. There was no WiFi inside the room, forcing me to seek connections in the hallway. Additionally, the air conditioning was noisy, which disturbed my sleep during my stay.

    cramped coffee
    lack of amenities

    first, the coffee setup felt so cramped and unwelcoming, like they just threw it on top of a fridge. with such a marvelous location, you'd think they'd pay some attention to presentation. plus, I expected a little treat upon arrival or the courtesy of a room upgrade, but guess that’s only for the fortunate ones. such a disappointment.

    charming courtyard
    delicious breakfast
    wonderful host
    noisy nights

    Fantastic stay for 4 nights! The location is perfect, just a short walk to the Duomo and other main attractions. The breakfast was a delightful spread of pastries, meats, and fresh fruits, and Luciano is a wonderful host who truly knows how to spoil his guests. The room was spacious and quiet, offering a lovely view of the inner courtyard. Definitely a gem in the heart of Florence!

    Slightly noisy at night.

    prime location
    delicious breakfast
    spacious accommodations
    street noise

    I had a fantastic experience at Locanda Orchidea. The location is unbeatable, just a short walk to the Duomo and other major sights. My room was spacious, clean, and quiet, offering a lovely view of the inner courtyard. Air conditioning worked perfectly, keeping me cool during the hot summer days. Breakfast was varied with fresh pastries, meats, and fruits available each morning. An excellent coffee machine. Luciano, our host, was attentive and truly made the stay special, offering helpful suggestions for local attractions. However, there were a few minor drawbacks. The room wasn’t as soundproof as I hoped, and I heard some street noise at night with the window open. Additionally, the WiFi connection was inconsistent in my room, making it difficult to work at times. Minor inconveniences aside, I would definitely recommend this place for anyone visiting Florence.

    comfortable room
    internal garden
    varied breakfast
    limited water

    The kids loved exploring the internal patio and garden while we enjoyed the comfortable room with everything we needed. Breakfast was a delightful mix of options that catered well to everyone, making our mornings enjoyable. The location was also ideal for family outings.

    My wife says that two water bottles per day would be better for families.

    Solo traveler worthy destination

    The place had this cozy vibe, like stepping into a warm hug, you know? Luciano was so helpful he even gave me tips on secret spots in town that only locals know about.

    It wasn’t exactly a bargain, but still acceptable for what you get.
