Horto Convento

For those seeking peace and tranquility at the end of the day, this stylish boutique hotel – squirrelled away within the sturdy cream-painted walls of an 18th-century convent in San Frediano – is an ideal address. Its pretty gardens ensure lazy summertime breakfasts al fresco, rooms marry original centuries-old features with a crisp contemporary design, and service is appropriately four-star.
