Away From the Crowds: The Quietest Hotels in and Around Florence
"Perched on a scenic hillside halfway between Florence and Fiesole, this property breathes new life into what was originally a Renaissance-era villa before becoming the quarters of the prestigious Barnabite College from 1868 to the late 20th century. The grounds retain their collegial feel, surrounded by 42 acres of parkland and formal Italian gardens, while historic interiors add a touch of singular ambiance to what now feels like a welcoming country estate. Expect enchanting views of the Duomo, plenty of peace and quiet, and a convenient shuttle that reaches the city center in 15 minutes." - Laura Rysman
