The former Barnabite boarding school “La Querce” is located on the hills north of Florence, on the slopes of Fiesole. Originally built in the fifteenth century and later expanded by the Barnabites, it has been declared a building and park of historical and artistic interest.
The restoration project involved the adaptive reuse of the complex into a luxury hotel with 80 rooms and suites, as well as a wide range of common areas including a church, a theatre, a spa, an exhibition space, event rooms, and restaurants.
The project also included the construction of new underground technical and service areas, along with the renovation of two historical gardens that now host a swimming pool, an events area, a decorative vegetable garden, and a parking area.
