Just a few minutes from the hotel, there is the library in a Camaldolese monastery. It was built from 1512 onwards and is a true architectural and artistic jewel.
In the halls and corridors of the library, you can admire works of art by artists from the 16th to 18th centuries.
One of the most beautiful rooms is the Aula Magna, built between the 17th and 18th centuries by Abbot Pietro Canneti. It is decorated with statues, stucco work and wooden shelves.
The Dantesque Collection deserves a special mention, the most complete collection of first editions and rare editions of the works of Dante, acquired by the great Florentine bibliophile and editor Leo S. Olschki.
The library is closed on Sundays and Mondays. On all other days, it is open from 9:00 – 19:00.
