Above Florence, Collegio alla Querce occupies a restored hillside campus with views across cypress, gardens, terracotta roofs and the Duomo. Rooms and suites draw on the building's layered history through high ceilings, Italian craftsmanship, tailored furnishings and a restrained palette that lets the architecture and outlook do much of the work. Terraces, courtyards, garden paths, the pool, spa, lounges and dining spaces create the feeling of a private Florentine estate, with the historic centre close below and the quieter rhythm of the hillside surrounding the property.
