We stayed here for one night and because we enjoyed it so much and found is so restful we booked to stay at Il Convento again on our last night in Italy. Viewing it on the internet did not do the place enough justice. As we approched the front exterior after the short drive up the hill, it looked a... More

After a 13 hour drive we arrived at 10 in the morning. I wanted to rest at the pool but it was closed because of a marriage. Apparently there was a marriage planned in the hotel but we were not warned. When we back at the hotel at eleven the parking lot was full so we had to park on... More

A former monastery, the hotel is located on top of a hill overseeing the city of Pistoia, with very nice view, and temperature is cool also during hot august. Very nice the swiming pool, and excellent the food. The owner produces his own olive oil, which I recommend to taste with bread and salt. The hotel if far from the... More

Finding our choice Florence hotels fully booked, we came by chance upon this delightful former convent, converted with love and no money spared into a classy 30-room hotel filled with antiques, yet providing modern amenities and comfort. Located beautifully on a hill side outside of Pistoia, up a country lane through vineyards and olive groves, the hotel has a commanding... More

We stayed here two nights recently on a tour. The hotel is beautiful, the location is beautiful and it has a very serene feel to it. We had a special dinner the 2nd night and it was absolutely delicious. The owner, however did put a bit of a damper on things. He was pretty grumpy in the morning and I... More

Stayed here on buisness trip to the area. I was really looking forward to the stay, it looks so good on its website and thought it would be welcome change from the usual big chains I stay in. The hotel is nicely furnished, well maintained and generally very comfortable. The standard room I got was small, comfortable, but furnished rather... More

Good value for money. Would certainly go there again. The restaurant was easily the best in the Pistoia area.

Incredible view, excellent restaurant, beautiful early 19th century structure. Ask to see the chapel. Just 10 minutes by car to the historic center of Pistoia. Great walk through the hills above the hotel. Rooms are quite comfortable, silent and elegant. There is no internet if you care about that. The owner doesn't speak English but the receptionists do. Will defintely... More

My husband and I booked this hotel as the pictures show a nice quite pool with lots of loungers, ideal for the country break we were looking for. Upon arrival we found out that the pool is open to the public, this meant that when we strolled down to the pool this morning we were greated by a queue of... More
