“Locanda Orchidea, nestled in a 12th-century tower linked to Dante Alighieri, offers a serene escape despite its central Florence location near the Duomo; the attentive service from a traditional hotelier makes for a personalized stay. Rich breakfast options and thoughtful amenities, like air-conditioned rooms with Wi-Fi, add comfort. In my opinion, its historic charm blends well with modern conveniences.”
