About

Hotel Degli Orafi

Hotel Degli Orafi sits on Lungarno Archibusieri, directly on the Arno, putting you within minutes of Florence's artistic heart. The 42-room property balances classic character with practical comfort, and the 5th-floor coffee room offers views of the Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, and Giotto's Campanile.

Guests consistently single out the breakfast — served in a charming dining room overlooking the river — and the rooftop terrace for pre-dinner drinks. The staff regularly receive praise for going out of their way, from daily weather updates to thoughtful touches for children.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Location on the river — The hotel sits directly on the Arno, just minutes from the Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio, and major squares.
  • Rooftop bar with views — The coffee room on the 5th floor offers views over Florence, including the Duomo and Palazzo Vecchio. Guests love enjoying drinks there.

Worth weighing

2 to weigh
  • Elevator can be slow — Several guests mention the lift is extremely slow, which can be frustrating with luggage or on busy days.
  • Dinner recommendations vary — One guest felt the staff's restaurant suggestion was touristy and overpriced, despite asking for a trattoria. Worth asking for a backup option.
