Hotel Horto Convento
The staff were all very friendly! We especially connected with the incredible bartender, Adam. His knowledge of the city helped us to search out hidden gems for food and sight-seeing. The hotel is beautiful, cultural, and stands out as a gem in Florence, tucked away in a quiet area
