Hotel Horto Convento

Hotel Horto Convento

8/10 Good
"Beautiful place and room was nice and clean. Breakfast in the morning was nice also (coffee was surprisingly bad). We were booked in their other hotel - Horto Convento. Upon our arrival we were strongly encouraged (coerced?) to move to this hotel - Della Calza. In hind sight, I’m not sure I would have moved - Della Calza is a further walk from the sights of Florence, not as pretty and, while in Florence, we had little interest in the spa."
