Traditional Tuscan
Situated on the outskirts of Florence this charming Bed and Breakfast establishment is set beneath the olive trees in a sculpture garden. Florence is just a few minutes drive away. There are many peaceful footpaths to enjoy around the Casabartolini and it makes a great base from which to explore the Chianti region.
With just three guest rooms, the Casabartolini caters to those who want to stay somewhere a little different from the usual luxury hotel in Florence. This very individual B&B is run by artists who give a great insight into life in this historic area of Tuscany.
Guests who stay at the Casabartolini will appreciate the authentic Tuscan hospitality offered by Lucia and Dario. The herb garden in which the house stands in decorated with glass and steel sculptures made by Dario himself. The guest rooms are simple, clean and comfortable with white-washed walls and tile floors. Wonderful views of the countryside and hills beyond unfold from the terrace.
Breakfast is set out for guests each morning on the verandah overlooking the garden. The traditional Italian ‘buongiorno’ is made from the very best local ingredients. Your delightful hosts are happy to suggest areas to visit with hints and tips which can only come from local knowledge. Groups may arrange a ‘Seasonal Tuscan Dinner’ which is prepared and narrated by Lucia; a truly unique opportunity to learn about the area around Florence.
With its three star rating, the Casabartolini is not your typical luxury hotel in Florence, but it offers a unique opportunity to enjoy reasonably priced B&B accommodation and warm hospitality in a local Tuscan home.
