This was a perfect little hotel for my fiance and I to spend our engagement trip. It was small, with very few children present (I saw one the entire 5 night period). It is located right on the Arno river next to the Ponte Vecchio and has excellent view of the river. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast... More

My husband booked this hotel because it was where they filmed one of my favourite films 'Room with a view'. However, I think I was as disappointed with my room (102) as Lucy Honeychurch. Our view from a first floor bedroom was blocked by the arcade which lines the Arno so you only get a partial view of the Arno... More

I have just got back from an amazing holiday in Florence! I stayed at the Hotel Degli Orafi which I thought was one of the nicest hotels I have stayed in and which truly deserves its 4 star rating!

If you are looking for a upscale hotel in a great location (and the price to match), the Hotel Degli Orafi is a great choice. My wife and I stayed here for three nights on our two-week, 10th wedding anniversary trip to Italy in May 2012. The staff is friendly and gave us great restaurant recommendations. Breakfast was excessive. The... More
