Hotel Degli Orafi

About Hotel Degli Orafi

Hotel degli Orafi is an ancient Florentine residence in the heart of the city situated on the Lungarno Archibusieri facing the Ponte Vecchio, alongside the Uffizi Gallery. The property dates back to the 13th century, when it was built as an Augustine convent and retreat. Inside there are remains of an ancient medieval tower, destroyed by the Ghibellini in 1260 and now partially restored. The modern library is decorated with original period frescoes which are in excellent condition. The 42 Classic, Executive and Deluxe rooms have all been carefully restored and all have private facilities including telephone, mini-bar, safe, satellite TV and air conditioning. You can even book the Room with a View immortalised in James Ivorys romantic film of the same name, with its magnificent terrace overlooking the Ponte Vecchio and views of the hills that surround the city. The breakfast room, which serves American buffet breakfast, was once a ballroom and has 19th century frescoes and a view on the River Arno and Via dei Georgofili. There is also a panoramic bar with terrace and roof garden overlooking the Duomo and Palazzo Vecchio, where you can enjoy moments of true relaxation while having a drink.
