B&B Antico Borgo Piancaldoli

Hey, I'm Marco

The manager, a friendly and pleasant person who is always ready to help, was born on May 1, 1960. In 2012, my husband and I embarked on the journey of running a cozy B&B located in a fully renovated Tuscan farmhouse in the heart of Mugello, just 25-30 km from the racetrack. Here, you can enjoy peace and serenity in a charming setting.

Area Collina

Piancaldoli is a small village nestled in the tranquility of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, located at the border between Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna. Surrounded by lush forests and ancient chestnut groves, it offers a captivating view and a nostalgic atmosphere, perfect for those seeking a nature-filled and peaceful getaway. At an elevation of about 800 meters, it ensures cool air during summer and enchanting scenery in every season.

The village has ancient roots dating back to the Carolingian era and was once a fiefdom associated with the powerful Countess Matilda of Tuscany. Over the centuries, it has been ruled by various noble families, including the Ubaldini and the Samaritani, who have left behind a historical mark that is still evident today. The architecture in the center retains the charm of old stone houses, creating an authentic and distinctive environment.

Piancaldoli serves as an ideal starting point for exploring the natural and cultural treasures of the area. Just a few kilometers away are Firenzuola and the Mugello, known for their medieval villages, castles, and abbeys, while Lake Bilancino offers opportunities to relax in equipped areas or engage in water sports. Wellness enthusiasts can quickly reach the Villaggio della Salute Più, famous for its thermal pools and relaxation paths set in nature.

For hiking and cycling enthusiasts, the region is crisscrossed by scenic trails winding through the hills and forests of the Apennines. The provincial road that runs through the village connects the Passo della Raticosa to the Sasso di San Zanobi, providing picturesque routes ideal for those who enjoy hiking, biking, or motorcycling. The San Zanobi provincial road links Piancaldoli to Firenzuola, passing through charming locations such as Visignano, Castelvecchio, Caburaccia, and Bordignano.

Despite its tranquility, Piancaldoli is well-connected and easily accessible: it is approximately 50-55 minutes from Bologna and Florence, and 30-35 minutes from Imola and Castel San Pietro Terme. This makes it a perfect retreat for those looking to escape from their routine and rediscover the joy of a slower pace of life, immersed in the authentic scents and flavors of the Apennines.
