The Auberge Collection has opened the luxurious Collegio alla Querce in Florence, its first property in Italy.
The 16th Century buildings were once home to a school, a chapel and theatre.
The architectural restoration of the estate was led by Spanish father-son design duo, Esteva i Esteva, who have preserved the original character of the structures and also by Florentine interior designers, ArchFlorence, who have kept the Renaissance features alive.
The hotel has a boutique spa called Aelia, as well as 49 guest rooms, 28 suites and six grand suites, with restored frescoes and coffered wood ceilings.
