Il Borghetto Montefiridolfi, San Casciano Val di Pesa

In Montefiridolfi, just a few kilometers away from the historic center of Florence, Il Borghetto is a charming country inn and farm stay set amidst the rolling green hills of Chianti.

Il Borghetto's eight bedrooms and suites are situated in the various buildings of the old hamlet, all of which have been painstakingly restored and sensitively converted to meet the requirements of the modern traveler. The spacious and simply furnished rooms have all the charm of Tuscany's traditional rural homes, with terracotta floors, exposed wooden beam ceilings, and marvelous views of the gardens and surrounding countryside.

Age-old recipes, traditional Tuscan gastronomic products and a pinch of creativity: these are the primary ingredients used during Il Borghetto's entertaining cooking lessons. Courses include tastings of local wines and visits to the colorful food markets of Florence.

The fragrant gardens of the Country Inn provide the idyllic setting for Il Borghetto's swimming pool and solarium. Sport lovers will enjoy playing on the nearby tennis courts or heading off in to the surrounding countryside, on foot, by mountain bike or on horseback.

From Il Borghetto guests easily reach Bibbione and the Etruscan Tomb of the Archer in Sant'Angelo, the Museum of Sacred Art in San Casciano Val di Pesa, the wineries of Chianti and the famous Tuscan hilltop towns of Volterra, San Gimignano, Certaldo and Monteriggioni.
