Six signals to read the stay at a glance.
Set within a converted convent, this stylish 4-star hotel offers a blend of historic ambiance and modern comforts in Florence’s vibrant Oltrarno district. With polished rooms that reflect contemporary design while respecting the building’s heritage, it creates a serene atmosphere amid the city’s busy heart.
Guests can unwind on the terrace or explore the enclosed garden, a quiet green space rare in central Florence. Although the property lacks an onsite restaurant, locally acclaimed eateries and Florence’s famed sights like the Uffizi Galleries and Ponte Vecchio lie within easy walking distance. Daily breakfast is served to start mornings with fresh local flavors.
The hotel’s accessible facilities, pet-friendly policy, and attentive room service cater well to a diverse range of travelers. Though it has no pool or fitness center, the opportunity to experience authentic Florence just outside the door more than compensates.

“We stayed at Hotel Horto Convento in February 2026 and had a very pleasant stay overall. From the moment you arrive, the elegant and refined common areas create a calm, charming atmosphere. The reception team was consistently kind, helpful, and professional throughout our stay. The hotel is a bit away from the busiest tourist areas, but Florence is very walkable and most attractions can be reached within 30–40 minutes. The neighborhood feels lively and safe, with very good restaurants nearby, so it worked well as a base for exploring the city. Our room was spacious and thoughtfully laid out, with a well-equipped bathroom and efficient air conditioning which was particularly useful as temperatures during our stay ranged between 3 and 9°C. The bed was large and comfortable, and the room included a fridge, a Nespresso machine with complimentary coffee, and bottled water on arrival. A few minor details to bear in mind: the room lacked a full-length mirror, and the bathroom had very limited counter space for toiletries (toothpaste, razor, makeup, etc.). There was also a noticeable smell in the corridors, somewhat similar to a sewer odor. However, it was never present inside the room and did not affect our stay in any significant way. Breakfast was satisfactory and did its job, though it was not particularly memorable. The hotel also offers a spa, but it is located in a separate building and requires booking a night there to access it, which is not very practical for a short stay. For that reason, we chose not to use it. Overall, a comfortable and charming hotel in a pleasant area, well suited for a relaxing stay while still being within walking distance of Florence’s main sights.”
“This is the one and only hotel I stay at when I visit Florence with my partner. It's very special hotel to us. It's an old convent converted into a hotel. Very Niche and charming. Lovely Staff. I know there are many other good hotels but this is our hotel. They have acquired another property 15 mins from this one - much bigger with bigger rooms and full Spa. Very impressive. They wanted to upgrade us to the new hotel but we declined. If you are looking for quiet cozy charming stay, choose Horto Convento. If you want luxury, Spa and all that jazz, opt for their other property Della Calza Spa and Foresteria :)”
“We had an amazing stay here. The building and rooms were beautiful. The morning breakfasts were always tasty. And the staff was so kind and accommodating. I also need to mention that their bartender Adam was the best bartender I've ever had. Great drinks, but even better company. I recommend this place to anyone that will listen. Thank you for a wonderful stay.”
