An Italian Gem
It was amazing. Fantastic location, away from the bustle of the more touristy areas but close enough to walk to those areas. Felt very safe, and it was quiet and clean. Exceptional breakfast!

Our stay at Horto Convento was excellent. The staff was very attentive and courteous and the breakfast was great. The location is perfect, nestled among the locals away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist populated areas across the Arno River. If you're looking for peaceful location that feels like a home away from home, this is it!

Great position, just 20 minutes walk from the historic centre. Quiet setting, attractive grounds, friendly staff, good breakfast. Only downside are the small basic bedrooms, that only offer suspended bars to hang clothes.

Hotel Horto Convento was absolutely outstanding. From the cordial staff to the immaculate facility. It was far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the center yet close enough to walk there. A quiet sanctuary hidden away in the very midst of the city. Located in a part of Florence that is still authentically Florentine.

This is a lovely horel in a quiet area of the old historic area. This staff were very welcoming and gave us a map and gave us advice on restaurants and attractions. A very comfortable bed with lovely linen and fluffy towels. Grat breakfast. I would highly recommend this hotel and stay again.
