We had a wonderful breakfast experience at Collegio alla Querce yesterday. It was our first visit for my husband and I at this outstanding hotel/establishment and we were taken away by the beauty and setenity of the property. The hotel along with its magnificent and well kept grounds and garden is truly breathtaking. The property is magical, serene and peaceful with spectacular panoramas. The breakfast at La Gamella was divine! The buffet is grand with fresh, well curated and an abundance of offerings of superb and high quality proposals. The presentation and the array of choices is sublime and all delicious. From the beautiful salads, charcuterie, cheese, bread and viennoisseries to the hot plate of your choice, from eggs to pain perdu or pancakes. There is no shortage in delighting any and every palate. We want to thank Ludovica and her fabulous service Team who made our experience amazing. They were highly attentive, prompt in clearing our plates, providing fresh cutlery and providing us with little touches that made the service outstanding! Their attention to the details, their professionalism and the care they took made us feel welcome and special. A big thank you once again to the entire Team from La Gamella who with their pleasant dispositions and passionate manner and dedicated service made our first breakfast experience memorable.

Great hotel overall. Had a lovely stay here. I felt my room request could have been looked into a bit more as some of the room preferences I noted also didn’t seem to be reflected. The bar and restaurant were great, but the cigars were a bit disappointing. The cigar I purchased was quite dry, suggesting poor air circulation, and it had several cracks. The cigar cutters were also very dull and almost ruined the cigar when I used them.

Spectacular property - beautiful design and details. Everything was excellent. Service was attentive and thoughtful. Pool is incredible and poolside pizzas at Il Bosco are perfect. We can’t wait to return!

The restaurant offered excellent food, beautifully prepared dishes, and wonderful flavors that reflected the quality and elegance of the hotel. Every meal was a pleasure, complemented by attentive service and a beautiful setting. We are incredibly grateful for such a wonderful experience and highly recommend Collegio alla Querce to anyone visiting Florence.
