A Timeless Escape Above Florence
Suspended above the rooftops of Florence, Collegio alla Querce is a retreat where history, beauty, and tranquility converge. With panoramic views of the Duomo di Firenze and the rolling Tuscan hills, this former educational institution has been thoughtfully reimagined into a refined sanctuary that honors its past while embracing modern elegance.
Design, Heritage, and Hospitality
With 83 distinctive rooms, an original chapel and theater, and elegant public spaces, the property invites guests to linger in a world where design lovers and cultural explorers feel equally at home. From the principal’s former office turned signature bar to the heritage architecture throughout, every corner tells a story.
An Immersive Culinary Experience
Collegio alla Querce is a true destination for gourmands, where Italy’s culinary heritage meets contemporary flair. Choose from a variety of dining spaces: a refined destination restaurant, a glass-enclosed garden room serving all-day fare, a sophisticated bar and cigar lounge housed in the former admissions office, and an outdoor pool bar tucked among centuries-old olive and oak trees.
