What the classifiers highlight
The Barnabite Fathers founded a boarding school on this Florence hilltop in 1868; Auberge turned it into a retreat fifteen minutes by shuttle from the center. MICHELIN lists it among the city's Key hotels. Former classrooms hold suites with private wine cellars, the old headmaster's office is now a cigar lounge, and the gardens shade the Aelia spa.
