Sina Hotels

Sina Villa Medici, Autograph Collection

Florence


Formerly a 19th-century palazzo, this five-star property’s contemporary elements don’t overshadow its classical, historic architecture. The lobby is grand, with marble floors, glass chandeliers and antique furniture. Instead of the typical swipe card, guests receive antique-looking keys with their individual room numbers. The comfortable guest rooms, with spacious marble bathrooms, have a more modern feel. Many rooms overlook the hotel’s private garden and pool or the monastery next door. Amenities include gym and pool access, a sauna and a Turkish bath.

Also on the property is Harry’s Bar The Garden, serving traditional Harry’s Bar favorites like baked parmesan fettuccine with ham, Caldi Harry’s – miniature croque monsieur sandwiches – and the classic Florentine negroni. Breakfast is served daily in the restaurant’s sunroom on the first floor, right off the private garden. The spread is large and varied, from pastries and fruit to eggs, bacon and cured meats.
