History
Opened March 2025 in a former 19th-century Jesuit boarding school on a hillside above Florence. 83 keys with views over the Duomo. Auberge's first Italian city property.
The setting
Collegio alla Querce, Auberge Resorts Collection, occupies Via delle Forbici, 21B, on a south-facing hillside within Florence's city limits where terraced oak gardens frame unobstructed panoramas over the UNESCO-listed Centro Storico, Brunelleschi's dome commanding the skyline. The 16th-century estate, dating to around 1580, operated as a boarding school for over a century before its recent reimagination as an 83-room hotel — the only Florence address offering sweeping city and Tuscan hill views simultaneously. The Galleria dell'Accademia is a 24-minute transit ride and the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore 27 minutes, pairing hillside tranquility with full access to the Renaissance city's cultural core.
