With its idyllic setting, situated in the lush green hills of Tuscany, between the Sieve and the Mugello Valley, the Convento di Sandetole lies on the former remains of an ancient Romanesque church, dating from the 11th century. From the early 18th century until 1980, it was inhabited by Franciscan monks,  After that time, the Diocese of Fiesole restored the Convento di Sandetole and converted it into a reception centre, an ideal place for Short Breaks, Longer Holidays, Ceremonies, Receptions, Religious Events, Seminars and Conferences.
