From London, I have been travelling through Italy with my husband and two young children. I was looking for somewhere to stay, and this was a suggestion from ChatGPT. Only recently opened this year, I was initially dubious about the outpouring of positive reviews. However, this place is, without a doubt, somewhere worth staying, or at the very least, enjoying lunch. Once you get past the sheer beauty and the money invested in redeveloping this former college, you realise that the true heart and soul of this place is the staff. The attention to detail is as remarkable as the pasta we had for lunch. Family-friendly, fresh, clean, attentive, and luxurious. I could mention the incredible Lucy, who served us by the pool, but that would be doing a disservice to the rest of the staff, all of whom were equally well trained and attentive. This place deserves to do well. You won’t regret booking here.
True personal luxury experience. Everyone will tend to you as if you owned the property. I travel all over the world and we only stay at 5 star hotels but nothing beats this property. You will not want to leave
Entrare in questo luogo è un esperienza!! Noi lo abbiamo visitato in occasione del brunch della domenica. Subito accolti con grande professionalità, siamo stati accompagnati per una visita delle varie parti di questa sontuosa struttura. Spettacolare!! Poi siamo stati deliziati dal loro brunch e anche il questa occasione coccolati e seguiti dallo staff. Per finire un giro nel parco e la visita del mercatino di Natale allestito in occasione delle feste. MAGICO!!
Absolutely amazing hotel with outstanding service! Every part of our stay exceeded expectations. The rooms are gorgeous and come with every amenity you could imagine — the heated floors were such a lovely, luxurious touch. Both the restaurant and bar were fantastic, and the spa was a true highlight. I would definitely stay here again — it was an unforgettable experience!
My wife and I chose to spend our 10 year wedding anniversary at Collegio And it was a special experience. The staff was personal and attentive without being a bearing, the room was beautiful and comfortable with stunning views. A flawless experience
It’s not often a hotel gets absolutely everything right, but Collegio Alla Querce in Florence really does. From the moment we arrived, it felt more like being welcomed into someone’s beautiful home than checking into a hotel. The building, a lovingly restored old school, is stunning. It has all the grandeur you’d expect from Florence, yet it still feels warm and relaxed. Our suite was gorgeous—spacious, comfortable, and full of thoughtful details that made it hard to leave. The staff are outstanding. Everyone we met was friendly, professional, and genuinely seemed to care that we were having a great stay. Nothing ever felt too much trouble. The food was another highlight. The restaurant was elegant without being stuffy, and the pizza by the pool was hands down the best we’ve had anywhere in Florence. After dinner we wandered into the bar for a drink, which was the perfect way to end the evening. In short, it’s a truly world-class hotel. Beautiful setting, brilliant service, amazing food. We’ll be back in a heartbeat.
Collegia alla Querce... just "heaven on earth". When you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing getaway indulged in luxury, Collegio alla Querce is your place to be. the hotel is just amazingly beautiful, the staff is incredibly helpful and friendly and the food in all restaurants is to die for! Only open since March 2025, we cannot say we experienced any hick ups - a well oiled and experienced team to give their customers the best stay. We will 100% sure come back to this beautiful hotel. thank you to the whole team of Collegio alla Querce
Beyond exceptional experience. From the moment we booked our room on the phone. To the incredibly positive response in organizing our special events and dinners. The staff is 5 stars. The hotel itself is a museum. The thoughtful decor. Ambiance makes you feel as if in your own private villa. The room excellent. Beautiful views. Comfortable linens and bed. Special attention to the coffee offerings in the room along with all the mindful treats. I've traveled to many places in the world. I always look for exceptional hotels. And this one checked all the boxes and beyond. The staff every person happy knowledgeable and willing to help at anytime. Delightful hidden gem. Don't think twice. Book it! You won't regret anything. I almost didn't want to write a review because I don't want people knowing about it. Ha! Enjoy this treasure in Florence. I will certainly return! Cheers.
We stayed at this hotel during our trip to Florence and it was simply wonderful. The place is beautiful, every corner feels like a work of art; all the details are so carefully curated that the whole experience becomes truly unique. We absolutely loved our room and the special setting they prepared for us. We had just come from Lake Como, where my boyfriend proposed to me, and arriving here after such magical days was just perfect. Breakfast was delicious, the pool was beautiful, and the service was impeccable—everyone treated us with such kindness and care. The location is excellent, making it very easy to explore and enjoy the city. Florence itself is magnificent, but staying here made our experience even more unforgettable. Thank you for making our visit so special. ------- Nos hospedamos en este hotel durante nuestro viaje a Florencia y fue simplemente maravilloso. El lugar es bellísimo, cada rincón está cuidado como si fuera una obra de arte; los detalles están pensados con mucho gusto y hacen que la experiencia sea única. La habitación nos encantó y todo el setting que prepararon para nosotros fue muy especial. Veníamos del Lago de Como, donde mi novio me propuso matrimonio, y llegar aquí después de esos días tan mágicos fue perfecto. El desayuno delicioso, la piscina preciosa, el servicio impecable: siempre nos trataron con mucha amabilidad y atención. La ubicación es excelente, muy fácil para moverse y disfrutar de la ciudad. Florencia de por sí es espectacular, pero alojarnos aquí hizo que la experiencia fuera aún más inolvidable. Solo puedo decir gracias por hacer de nuestra estadía algo tan especial.
