Historic Luxury Accommodations
Hotel Degli Orafi, a 12th-century property, offers rooms with views of the Arno River, Ponte Vecchio, or Florentine rooftops. Executive rooms feature encaustic walls by Florentine craftsmen and parquet or carpet floors. The 'Room with a View' includes a terrace overlooking the Arno and Ponte Vecchio, with a king-size bed, minibar, and marble bathroom. Family Suites accommodate up to 6 people, with living areas, sofa-beds, and en-suite bathrooms. All rooms have air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs.
Dining with Panoramic Views
Breakfast is served in a 19th-century frescoed ballroom overlooking the Arno, with options ranging from pastries to healthy dishes. The rooftop bar, DISOPRA, offers light lunches, snacks, and drinks with views of the Duomo and Palazzo Vecchio. Specialties include 'AperiVista' (gourmet platters with drinks) and 'AperiOrmanni' (Chianti wine tastings from the family vineyard, Ormanni, established in 1818).
Artisan Heart of Florence
The hotel is steps from Ponte Vecchio, known for goldsmith workshops, and the Oltrarno district, home to leather artisans and bookbinders. Nearby landmarks include the Uffizi Gallery (74 meters), Palazzo Vecchio (240 meters), and the Duomo (600 meters). The central market, built by Giuseppe Mengoni, features fresh produce and traditional Florentine crafts.
Convenient Location & Parking
The hotel is 1.5 km from Santa Maria Novella train station and 15 km from Peretola Airport. Valet parking is available at €25-35 per day. The property is in a restricted traffic zone; guests must register their license plate to avoid fines. Taxis and trams provide easy access to the city center.
Safety & Guest Services
The hotel has a monitored fire alarm system, with emergency exits and extinguishers marked on room doors. Staff are trained in evacuation procedures. Services include laundry (€12/kg), room service, and concierge assistance. The rooftop bar operates from 12:30 PM to 11:30 PM, with panoramic views of Florence's historic skyline.
“In my opinion, its location offers an unparalleled advantage for experiencing Florence's cultural heart, placing you steps from the Ponte Vecchio and Uffizi Gallery. The rooftop bar, though intimate, frames memorable views of the Duomo, a perfect spot with local wine. I think the breakfast, served in a grand, frescoed hall, begins each day with a touch of Florentine elegance.”
