In the timeless heart of Florence, where Renaissance history whispers from every stone, Sina Villa Medici, Autograph Collection offers an elegant balance between past and present. Housed in a 19th-century palazzo, this 5-star retreat is a celebration of heritage and contemporary artistry—where antiques protected by the Fine Arts Authority blend seamlessly with bold, modern works by Florentine artist Marco Lanza.

Set behind the graceful façade lies a lush, unexpected garden—an oasis rarely found in the city’s historic center. At its heart, a serene swimming pool shimmers beneath the Tuscan sun, inviting quiet repose just moments from the city’s most iconic landmarks.

Rooms and suites are individually styled, many offering views across the gardens or over the rooftops of Florence. Whether tucked beneath original wood-beamed ceilings or opening out onto private terraces, each space reflects the soul of the villa—intimate, refined, and full of quiet character.

The garden also plays host to one of Florence’s most iconic culinary institutions: Harry’s Bar The Garden. Born from the legendary Harry’s Bar Firenze, whose name has drawn international guests since 1953, this elegant new expression brings La Dolce Vita into the open air. Beneath twinkling lights and fragrant trees, guests savor classic Italian cuisine and cocktails at the seasonally open pool bar—appropriately named La Dolce Vita.

For those seeking wellness, the villa offers a tranquil retreat complete with sauna, Turkish bath, and a light-filled fitness area. In the summer months, the outdoor pool becomes a peaceful escape, surrounded by greenery and the quiet hum of the city beyond.

Sina Villa Medici is not simply a place to stay—it’s a sanctuary of art, history, and timeless Italian style. A moment of stillness in a city that has inspired the world.
