Bed and Breakfast Borgo Ponte dell'Asse - Florence Holiday Rentals

Details

Home Description

At only 2 km from the historical center of Florence (Boboli garden, Old Bridge, Signoria Square) and from the peaceful Cistercensian monastry of La Certosa, nestled in the charming Tuscan countryside, Borgo Ponte dell'Asse offers its guests a fresh and skillfully renovated place to make vacation as pleasant as possible at every time of the year. The Borgo is comprised of an old mill, barn, wine-fermentation room, brick-kiln and a peasant’s house. It has a courtyard paved in stone surrounded by a porch and other buildings. It adjoins the proprietor’s Villa with a little chapel decorated with 17th century frescoes and the former lemon-house overlooking a hanging garden. Today the entire premises have been transformed into cozy homes, without modifying the original architecture. Guests are hosted in a wing of the Villa, facing a lovely courtyard/garden with cotto flooring that gives access to the area reserved for guests. The two bedrooms are furnished with typically Tuscan antique furniture. The guest area is made up of two double bedrooms: one frescoed in Art Nouveau-style with a grand piano, about to be restored. The apartment is completed with two bathrooms (one for each bedroom), a little dining room and a kitchen, where the host prepares breakfast in the morning for all her guests. The apartment can be rented as such or as double bedrooms with private bathrooms, with or without breakfast. They have independent access. Special care is given to breakfast, served in the little dining room or in the garden, with home-made produce prepared in the kitchen but, upon request, breakfasts can be prepared by the guests themselves. With advance notice, guests may dine with the hosting family one day a week and taste the typical dishes and wines of the Tuscan and Italian cuisine.

By car: At only 2 km from the Florence - Impruneta exit of the A1 highway (Milan - Rome) and from the Florence-Siena superhighway junction: Highway A1, exit Firenze Impruneta, direction Florence, a few hundred meters from the village of Galluzzo on the Via Senese, on your left there is a tunnel (direction Scandicci). Cross the tunnel, on your left lies the 'BIBE' restaurant. And, 200 meters from the restaurant, there is the little bridge of Via della Greve to the left. Cross the bridge and reach the third group of houses (No. 14).
