"This former convent turned boutique hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of the city's main attractions. ... Most guest rooms have a disappointingly stark appearance." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A 16th-century convent is now this superb hotel. The large rooms, some of which are on two levels, are all decorated differently."
Star Service "In a relatively quiet residential neighborhood, around the corner from the superior Monna Lisa, with its elegant and whimsical interiors, this property moves in a more contemporaneous direction." Full review

The off-track location provides guests with glimpses of day-to-day Florentine life that many tourists never see, but make sure to pack mosquito repellent.
Rough Guide "Some rooms are vast split-level affairs, but all have charm and are furnished with modern fittings and a few antiques."
Fodor's "On a quiet street within walking distance of the sights sits this unusual hotel, a converted 16th-century convent." Full review
Jetsetter "An inviting room in a former 16th-century convent, walking distance from Florence's stunning cathedral." Full review
