Fodor's Expert Review Borgo Pinti
Borgo Pinti 15, Florence, Tuscany, 50121, Italy
Nuns of the Oblates of the Assumption run this convent holiday house, where some of the simple but spotlessly clean rooms have views of the Duomo's cupola, and others look out onto a garden where you are welcome to relax. Several rooms have three and four beds, making them well-suited for families. You can join Mass every morning at 7:15. A simple continental breakfast is included, and the nuns provide half or full pension for groups of 10 or more. None of the nuns speaks English, but you can book online.
PROS
- great location and (mostly) quiet rooms
- Mass held daily
- a soothing, somewhat untended garden
CONS
- some have observed that there's hall noise
- rooms facing the street can be noisy
- rooms are frugal
