"Wow! This is truly an amazing hotel and a destination by itself. I had read about the garden and the extensive park-like grounds, but they were even better than I imagined. It was like staying in a Tuscan Villa, yet it was only about a 1.5 mile walk to the main sites of downtown Florence. And the walk itself was amazing! The breakfast buffet was extensive and delicious.

"The property was lovely. A former 15th(?) century monastery located on a hilltop overlooking parts of Florence. Surrounded by olive and fruit trees, and gardens. It's past the Roman gate, about a 30 euro cab ride from the center of town. Though they didn't tell us until we asked, there's a shuttle that will take you down the hill to the Roman Gate where taxis and busses can be found.
