Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Away from the historic centre — The villa is a bit out of the way; you'll need the shuttle, bus, or a 30-minute downhill walk to reach Ponte Vecchio.
- Evening meal is fixed menu — The multi-course dinner offers no choice, which may not suit picky eaters, allergies, or vegetarians.
- Language barrier with the nuns — Some sisters don't speak English, though kitchen staff often do, and guests still find them welcoming.
- Curfew suggested at 10:30 pm — The nuns kindly suggest a curfew, but later arrivals can be accommodated if requested.

9Verified guest“Good-sized rooms, reasonable value, and a great location near Piazza della Signoria. Immaculately clean, exceptionally comfortable bed, and a functional bathroom. Modern heating, safe, flat-screen TV, nice pool, parking outside, and good Wi-Fi.”
9Verified guest“Beautiful setting overlooking Florence, with gorgeous gardens. Easy bus trip to the city centre.”
9Verified guest“We didn't realize it was a guest house run by nuns until they kindly mentioned a 10:30 curfew; we requested a later arrival and it was fine. Despite a language barrier, they were helpful and welcoming. The grounds were stunning, with beautiful countryside and Florence views. It's a 30-minute walk downhill to Ponte Vecchio, offering more amazing views.”
9Verified guest“The shuttle service made getting to Florence easy and stress-free while keeping a peaceful atmosphere. The beautifully maintained gardens were a highlight, and the staff were professional and attentive. Breakfast had a wide range, including fresh pastries and quality coffee.”
9Verified guest“The lead nun was amazing — we joked she was like MacGyver. Food was very nice, and gardens were amazing. A bit out of the way for touring, but you can easily take a bus into town. If you want to escape the city, this is a lovely choice.”
