The owner of the B&B was extremely helpful with directions. Breakfast was a buffet of delicious treats. The hotel was centrally located near all museums and walkable to the train station or the bus stop to the train station. I would HIGHLY recommend staying here!

At first, we had a hard time finding it because it is in the pedestrian zone, so we go stopped off by a cab a short distance away. Once inside, everything was wonderful. Rooms were nice sized, beds comfortable, the host helpful. Breakfast was excellent! It is easily walkable to every thing we wanted. The only bit of trouble was not finding a taxi on the day we left, a Sunday, so we had to bump our suitcases along to a piazza with a taxi stand in order to make our way to the train station, but we can’t fault our host for that!

This B&B is in a perfect location for walking around Florence. You are near enough to most of the famous sights and there are many good eating places nearby. Luciano, the proprietor, had thought of everything to make our stay comfortable.

Love the property, very clean and beautiful, very well kept for been a 800 year building. Restaurant right in front of the hotel and shops. Close to everything. Love Luciano, very attentive and really good communication for our late arrival. Good breakfast. One of the most wonderful stays. Absolutely nothing bad to say.

Comfy Florence stay in the heart of the city
Wonderful stay here for 4 nights in Florence. The location is excellent for walking to see the major sites. The great part is how quiet it was. Our room was on the second level of the B&B’s part of the building which faced the inner courtyard and was SO quiet (even tho it was near a popular intersection of restaurants that were very busy at night). We had the 3 person room (as it was all that was left when we booked), so the room was quite large. The bathroom had a tub/shower combo & lots of towels. The beds were comfy-firm (king sized) and the a/c worked great. There’s a small elevator if your bags are heavy. The breakfast in the morning is excellent - seating in the bright, sunny area adjacent the reception area. Incl several baked goods (croissants, buns, cakes, tarts), sliced meat/cheese, scrambled eggs. Cereals, yogurts, fruits, juices and a great coffee machine (espresso, latte, americanos). Would absolutely stay here again.

My husband and I had a delightful stay at Locanda Orchidea. Luciano runs a great B&B. The rooms were spotless and we enjoyed the daily breakfasts. Luciano was flexible in check-in since we arrived late and he was very helpful in providing logistical information. The B&B was in a very convenient location. I would recommend this B&B to anyone visiting Florence.

The location is perfect, and the tiny hotel is perfect too, lovely spacious rooms, well-appointed and with excellent bathrooms. All the charms of an old historic building but every modern convenience as well. And the staff could not be more helpful and kind. My family stayed here in 1996, and we loved it then, but it has been very much upgraded since then. I would never think of staying anywhere else in Florence.

Fabulous stay at hotel Locanda Orchidea
Recently returned from a few days at hotel Locanda Orchidea. The room was exactly like the pictures, location is fabulous in walking distance of all the main sights. The Duomo is at the top of the street. Breakfast was good, and the host very friendly. I would definitely recommend if you are staying in Florence and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.
