“Occupying a 15th-century monastery that nestles in a spectacular terraced garden with unrivalled views of Florence, this is one of Italy’s most famous (and expensive) hotels. The style throughout is of understated, luxurious elegance which enhances rather than interferes with the intoxicating aura of the past. The views down to the city are splendid: dinner under the loggia at sunset is an unforgettable experience. Immaculate service completes the picture.”
