Il Convento Dei Fiori Di Seta - Hotel
Via Orfeo 34/4 40124 Bologna Italy
Located in Bologna's downtown area, IL CONVENTO DEI FIORI DI SETA (The Silk Flowers Nunnery) has been realized following the meticulous restoration of the little church of the nunnery built in the 15th century and enlarged throughout ...
...the 18th century. Historical records report that in the nunnery gar-dens the nuns grew silk-worms to spin silk, which was used to handicraft flow-ers which were then sold to raise funds for charity. It is on the basis of this charming anecdote that IL CONVENTO DEI FIORI DI SETA takes its name The lobby is located at the church entrance and breakfast and bar services are offered in the altar area (displaying original marble and ornamentation). The guest rooms feature the nunnery's original stone and brick walls and are located in the apse and in the bell tower, the meeting area is by the church main fresco (featuring the Crucifix). IL CONVENTO DEI FIORI DI SETA is entirely NO-SMOKING. The few rooms (all double rooms or suites) allow us to provide our guests with maximum care, comfort, relaxation and privacy.
