“Medici-history palazzo, roadworks outside”
Hotel Orto De' Medici is an elegant 2000-built, 2024-renovated palazzo on the old Medici sculpture-school grounds where Michelangelo studied — high ceilings, huge rooms with dedicated storage and split bath-and-wash rooms, a welcome-wine ritual, and a staffer who happily recounts the house's history. Impeccable service even booked Accademia tickets to see David. Two practical notes: the narrow cobblestone approach favors taxis, road works in front run noisily by day, and the bar shuts Sundays — welcome drink deferred.
