Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Horto Convento, a renovated convent with beautiful grounds, provides comfortable, air-conditioned rooms, some noting high ceilings and spacious layouts. The location offers a quieter experience outside the main tourist areas, within a 15-minute walk to the Ponte Vecchio and close to local dining, even though some guests have occasionally noticed noise between rooms in the historic building. Breakfast is a highlight, with many options to choose from, and there's also a nice bar for an aperitif.
