What it is

A retreat set within meticulously restored 16th-century buildings, offering 83 elegantly appointed rooms and suites, expansive terraced gardens, and exceptional dining experiences, all overlooking Florence's historic skyline.

What it isn't

A modern high-rise hotel or a bustling urban accommodation; it's a serene, historic sanctuary that combines Renaissance charm with contemporary luxury.

What we think

Collegio alla Querce seamlessly blends historical grandeur with modern sophistication. The resort's accommodations feature original frescoes and coffered wood ceilings, complemented by contemporary furnishings and luxurious amenities. Guests can indulge in a variety of culinary venues, including La Gamella, a destination restaurant housed in a light-filled orangerie offering classic Tuscan flavors and seafood dishes, and Bar Bertelli, a sophisticated bar and cigar lounge set in the former academic admissions office. The resort's Aelia Spa provides holistic treatments inspired by Tuscany's natural bounty, ensuring a rejuvenating experience. With its prime location just three miles from Florence's historic downtown, the property offers both seclusion and convenient access to the city's cultural treasures.
