Horto Convento: 4-Star Hotel in Ancient Monastery in Florence, Outside ZTL with Parking and Garden
The Horto Convento is an elegant 4-star Hotel in Florence, resulting from the meticulous restoration of an Ancient 12th-century Monastery, located in the historic Borgo San Frediano district, in Oltrarno. This strategic location, celebrated by Lonely Planet as "the coolest neighborhood in the world," allows guests to reach the historic center (Palazzo Pitti, Ponte Vecchio) in a few minutes on foot, while offering a tranquil retreat, being Outside the Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL).
Designer Rooms and Silent Luxury
The hotel features 34 rooms, completely renovated in 2017, which combine the historical charm of the structure with modern and refined design.
