Sina Villa Medici hosts meetings, conferences, presentations and dinners for up to 180 guests across six event rooms in central Florence. The hotel stands on Via Il Prato, west of the historic center, and pairs its meeting floor with a garden, a swimming pool and a poolside restaurant, which is rare in the city.
Seminars and company events
Six rooms cover most business formats, from a board meeting to a plenary session followed by a dinner. The largest, Garden Oasis, measures 180 m² and takes up to 180 guests. Lorenzo De' Medici, at 150 m², holds 120, and Caterina Room, at 80 m², holds 100. Royal Hall (72 m², 60 guests) and Monnalisa Room (103 m², 49 guests) suit mid-size sessions or breakouts next to a plenary. Cosimino Room (32 m², 30 guests) works as a boardroom or a project room. The site does not split these figures by layout, so ask for theatre, classroom and banquet numbers when you send your request. The introduction on the same page mentions conference rooms for 15 to 100 people, so confirm the higher figures for your chosen format.
The garden gives a two-day meeting a place for breaks and outdoor lunches without leaving the hotel, and the pool helps when a program runs through the summer months. Delegates can walk into the historic center for an evening program.
Rooms and capacities
The six rooms range from 32 m² to 180 m², for a total of more than 600 m² of event space. With Garden Oasis, Lorenzo De' Medici and Caterina Room, the hotel can run a plenary and two large breakout rooms at the same time, with Royal Hall, Monnalisa and Cosimino available for smaller groups.
Accommodation
Guest rooms run from Superior, Deluxe and Premium rooms to Junior Suites, Suites, the Florence Suite and the Royal Suite. The total number of rooms is not published on the official site, so state your rooming list early for a residential meeting. The pool sits in the garden, and the hotel has a wellness offer for guests.
Catering
Harry's Bar The Garden is the hotel restaurant, set in the garden with a private poolside area, seasonal cooking and signature cocktails. Harry's Bar Firenze 1953 is the brand's second venue in the city. The site does not describe banquet menus for events, so ask the events team for coffee break, lunch and dinner options.
History and setting
The hotel belongs to Sina Hotels, an Italian group of city hotels. Its garden, described by the hotel as luxuriant, surrounds the building and sets it apart from most hotels inside the old city. Weddings are not presented as an offer on the official site, so the venue fits company meetings and private dinners first.
Getting there
The address is Via Il Prato 42, 50123 Florence. Firenze Santa Maria Novella station is within walking distance, and Florence airport is a short taxi ride away. The Duomo and the shopping streets of the center can be reached on foot.
