PB hotel design editorial

For over a century, the boys of a Florentine boarding school looked out from these limestone-framed windows onto terraced Baroque gardens falling away toward the city below. When Collegio alla Querce, Auberge Resorts Collection opened in 2025, the challenge facing Spanish father-son firm Esteva i Esteva was not invention but translation — converting three adjacent 16th-century UNESCO-listed buildings into 83 rooms without erasing the institutional dignity that gave the place its character. They succeeded by treating preservation as a design act rather than a constraint: the chapel, theatre, coffered ceilings, and frescoes all remain, and the courtyard garden, planted with ancient olive trees and punctuated by a contemporary stone wreath sculpture, carries the atmosphere of a cloistered academy rather than a resort. The interiors, handled by Florentine firm ArchFlorence, move between registers with genuine intelligence. The restaurant unfolds beneath a vaulted arcaded gallery where full-grown olive trees push through the floor plan and terracotta amphorae catch afternoon light against steel-framed windows — a room that feels simultaneously ancient and composed. Guestrooms range from the warmly layered, with landscape murals bleeding into real views of the Arno valley, to suites with iron four-poster frames and working fireplaces that recall the building's earlier life as private rooms for privileged scholars. The bar, lined with gilt portrait frames and amber-lit shelving, anchors the whole project in something resembling a gentleman's study — worn, curated, entirely specific to this place.

"From the moment I arrived at Collegio alla Querce, I knew this stay would be something special - and it exceeded every expectation. The property itself is absolutely breathtaking, blending historic charm with refined luxury in a way that feels both authentic and effortlessly elegant. Every corner is thoughtfully designed, from the beautifully restored architecture to the serene gardens and stunning views that make it hard to ever want to leave. The service was truly exceptional. The staff anticipated every need with warmth and professionalism, creating an atmosphere that felt both welcoming and personalized. It’s rare to find a place where hospitality feels this genuine. The rooms were immaculate - spacious, tastefully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. Every detail, from the linens to the amenities, reflected a commitment to quality and guest experience. Dining was another highlight. Each meal felt like an experience in itself, with outstanding flavors, fresh ingredients, and impeccable presentation. Whether it was breakfast or dinner, everything was simply perfect. What made this stay unforgettable, though, was the overall feeling: tranquility, beauty, and a sense of being somewhere truly special. This is easily a 5-star experience in every sense. I would return without hesitation and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an extraordinary stay."
