The B&B is immersed in the landscape of green hills that form the valley of the river. It is a veritable small oasis of tranquillity.

The bus stop is located only 200 meters from the B&B in the village square.
This bus line (14A) with frequent runs crosses the entire historical center, reaches the Trade Fair and Exposition Center and ends at the Main Hospital.

The large garden is a pleasant and peaceful spot for relaxing, lulled by the murmur of the Arno, after a day spent visiting monuments and museums. The village within walking distance (a few hundred meters) offers an excellent restaurant for dining, a bar, a pharmacy and other stores as well as a cinema.
