Sina Villa Medici, Autograph Collection

The hotel had a lovely welcome and the staff were very kind. Unfortunately the hotel is very dated and doesn’t have a very good smell. The hotel has a lot of Potential but it just doesn’t seem to be updated. If you stay here, have the expectation of staying at a 2/3 star, not a 4.

I was nervous to stay here after reading a lot of negative reviews, and I'm so glad I ignored them. This hotel was beautiful, and the service was top notch. We loved their lobby bar - we had apertivo there more than once and it was so lovely. Our room was beautiful and spacious with a gorgeous balcony overlooking their pool area. Location was a pleasant 10-ish min walk to the main downtown area, and about the same to the other side of the Arno where most of the less tourist-trappy restaurants and bars were. There were honestly a great deal of restaurants in the neighborhood the hotel was in also and some great cafes for coffee and pastries in the morning. It's super simple to get a taxi from the hotel, and the front desk can call it for you very easily and quickly - we appreciated that help so much! My only "complaints" about my room, which really boil down to personal preference, were that the TV wasn't a smart tv, so we couldn't log into any apps and watch things we wanted to. Most of the channels are all italian - SO not important though as we spent a vast majority of our time NOT inside the room. So that was no big deal. I also found the mattress to be incredibly firm - way too firm for me and it was hard to sleep without aching. Again, that was a me-thing I'm sure. **the one last room-related complaint I have, I noticed at the hotel we stayed in Rome too, which also was a Sina property, is that theres nowhere in the shower to put your toiletries? Maybe this is an Italy thing .. or just a Sina property thing... but we had to put all of our toiletries on the floor of the shower which grosses me out/just is inconvenient to have to keep bending over onto the floor the entire duration of your shower. I feel it's important to note this as some folks perhaps can't continuously bend over like that as it's not physically possible, so just an important piece to note. (would really benefit if they added a couple of ledges in the shower for people to place things) other than my few tiny complains about the room, I honestly would stay there again - especially if i were to visit florence in the summer time as they have such a lovely pool area!

We stayed at Sina Villa Medici for one night. The property is well kept, well located and has AMAZING staff. An old villa, its quaint be offers a garden pool. The rooms are spacious and we had a giant balcony with a beautiful view. This is a nice place to stay. I'd recommend not eating in the hotel restaurant the food is only ok, and there are better places to eat at in Florence.

sina villa medici was well located in florence. staff was extremely helpful. example Edgardo and Luca helped me book train tickets to rome as I was not tech savvy. rooms were clean, well lit, not ultra modern but contemporary, bathroom was clean and efficient

Stayed as a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens) in adjoining rooms. This worked out very well for us as the kids/adults each had privacy and were still felt like we were vacationing together. We were on the 4th floor so had nice very views of the city. The property is charming and well-maintained. The rooms were comfortable - very large, large windows with patio area, clean, etc. It was my wife's birthday and the concierge arranged a bottle of bubbly and chocolates for us. Other service members were all friendly and efficient. We used the pool everyday in the afternoon. The poolside service really made it feel like a resort. Thanks to everyone. The location is a good walk to the center. This is bad when it is hot - just walk slow. And the surroundings..., let's say I did not want my kids walking by themselves at night. It is quiet, though. And it is an easy walk to the SMN train terminal. Overall very enjoyable and yes, I would stay again.

Great hotel with beautiful rooms and perfect location and - most importantly- friendly staff! We had great time! Even piano player stayed longer for us! Good value for money! Very good hotel managers We got an upgrade! Good location! We will come back!
