The hotel is pet-friendly and provides dog-sitting services. Electric car charging stations are available in the private parking area.

Location & Access

Horto Convento is located in Borgo San Frediano, 1.5 km from Florence Santa Maria Novella station and 10 km from Peretola Airport. It is a 7-minute walk from Pitti Palace and a 10-minute walk from the Duomo. The hotel is outside Florence's Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL) and offers private parking (€25/day for cars, €15/day for motorcycles). The area is known for artisan workshops, restaurants, and bars like La Carraia ice-cream shop.

Guest Services

Services include a concierge for museum tickets (Uffizi Galleries, Boboli Gardens) and event bookings, a personal shopper for Florentine craftsmanship tours, make-up and hairdressing appointments, and electric car charging. The hotel provides free WiFi, ironing facilities, and a 24-hour front desk. Parking is available on-site or at nearby partner garages.

“What struck me most is the location, set back in the San Frediano neighborhood, removed from the central bustle yet still within easy reach of the city's attractions. The careful blend of the building's history, apparent in the high-ceilinged rooms, with modern comforts and a garden setting, suggests a relaxing retreat. It seems a particularly good choice for those wanting a quieter, more authentic Florentine experience.”

Hotel Horto Convento, with its beautiful grounds and architecture, offers guests spacious rooms featuring original high ceilings. The modern bathrooms with high-end fixtures are particularly appreciated, and many find the beds comfortable and big. While some guests have noted the soundproofing could be improved, the location south of the Arno River allows for easy walks to central Florence, and a tasty, rich breakfast awaits in the mornings.

charming stay

safe neighborhood on-site parking reasonable convenience many choices
The location was great. it was a short walk to many attractions, and the neighborhood felt safe. i liked that parking was available on site. It cost 25 euros per day, but it was worth it for the convenience. the breakfast had many choices, including fresh fruit and pastries.
The walls seemed thin. I sometimes heard noise from adjacent rooms.

quiet area restaurant recommendation
The hotel is in a quiet area not far from main attractions. The staff offered helpful local restaurant recommendations. I found a quick guide with information on what to see. The experience was great overall.
The hotel rooms could use more storage, such as a full-length mirror. A kettle would also improve the room. I did get hot water from the bar.
