something different
The room & public areas were spotlessly clean & the staff were always friendly & extremely helpful.. No frills but most things one requires in a bedroom apart from much drawer space. We found plenty of choice at breakfast., & it was nice looking out onto the central garden. There is a very good public park very near & only a 15 minute walk to the Boboli Gardens so altogether a good choice for the sensible tourist.

Hidden gem
This is a historic hotel and an experience to stay in it. The hotel was a hospital until 1392 and became a convent after that. It has a wonderful courtyard where you can sit and enjoy a glass of wine.

The hotel is very old, ac does not work, safe deposit did not work, shower is too small, I being small built could barely fit in. The staff is helpful and polite.

Bus stop right outside that goes to the centre of the city and train station which is fab but there’s not much around the hotel if you feel like a lazy night and just want to get dinner near the hotel, other than a pizza shop.

Simple and comfortable
Quiet hotel. Very simple rooms, clean and comfortable. About a mile from the centre of Florence - easy to walk to. Staff were really helpful. Breakfast choices were good. All in all, a good base for our holiday.

Great old convent experience!
My husband and I stayed at this property for a workshop and we were pleasantly surprised. The location is great, just inside the old town walls and walking distance to the Ponte Vecchio. There is a Hop On Hop Off Bus stop just up the road but we didn't use it - we walked everywhere and only took a taxi (cheap and fast) when going further to eg Accedamia Gallery). To stay in an old convent as Australians is a unique experience so we found it very special. The property was reasonably priced, quiet, very clean and comfortable. The rooms were large and I loved the shelving storage space in the room - it's great to be able to unpack for a few days instead of living out of a suitcase I highly recommend this property and would stay here again. I am a travel agent and will definitely be recommending this property to my clients in the future. Thank you Convitto Del Calza for a lovely stay :-)

Great location, easy access bus nearby.
The hotel needs a paint overall, garden needs revival. Poor breakfast.

Youth hostel accommodation at 4* prices
This is a converted nunnery, VERY small stuffy rooms, mosquitoes, tiny shower, sort of a hike from central sights down a busy road. HOW it gets 4.5 stars is beyond me, I wonder why I didn't check it out further before booking.

Wonderful location and staff
If you are prepared for a convent-setting as we were, it is a wonderful place to stay and an amazing location. You can walk everywhere and there are also several buses that get you quickly to the historic area or the train station. Because rooms are accessed from a central courtyard, its also very safe. No one enters the hotel without going through the reception.
Breakfasts are also very good and there is a really pleasant and cheery individual on duty most of the time.

Small but adequate.
Three nights for pleasure. Room was small, even by European standards. The bathroom was as big as the main room.

The hotel is located in the other side if the Arno which is a less touristic part. It was a very good value for the price. The breakfast was simple but very good, the rooms are nice and very good service. It's about 15 minutes walk from Ponte vecchio. Allows to experience Florence from a different and less touristic point of view.

Good hotel in Florence
My husband and I really liked this hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is good. It is not too far from the Pitti Palace and the Ponte Vecchio bridge. There is a convenient bus stop across from the hotel also. The hotel is quiet and peaceful. There is a good breakfast included. I definitely recommend this hotel.

Okay for a one night stand
This was a one night stay. The room is a made modern monks cell in an old monastery updated to a hotel. Rooms are small by American standards. Location is good, off the beaten track but just up the road from the Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens and then Ponte Vecchio. On a bus line. Not many restaurants in the immediate neighborhood. The shower is the smallest shower I have ever been in but it worked okay. Breakfast exceptional, staff very helpful. Posturpedic mattress was great.
