Originally a convent, over the years it has been renovated. It has offices, classrooms, facilities for the cooking and wine tasting courses, and a cafe-cafeteria. The office of the Wells College Florence Program resident staff is in the main building.

“The Wells College Florence Program and my semester abroad was a life changing experience. Wells did an absolutely amazing job to make learning fun. Not only do I think Wells was the best program in Florence, but my other friends on other programs felt the same way. They wished they had gone through Wells as well.” —J.B., University of Michigan
