Leeu Collection has acquired its second property in Europe, the historic former Collegio Alla Querce in Florence, Italy

Located in Via della Piazzuola, just 2 km northeast of the city's historic heart and 9 km from Florence's international airport, the complex covers a total area of 13,400 square meters plus 15,500 square meters of park, which will be transformed into a 70-plus bedroom luxury hotel and gardens, set to open in 2021. Parts of the historic Collegio Alla Querce, which has its own chapel and theater, were previously used as a boarding school and hotel.

Carrie Wicks, CEO of Leeu Collection, said the property would also include meeting and event spaces, a spa and restaurants.
