Just a few kilometers from the center of Florence, “La Borraina” welcomes guests in a farmhouse nestled in the serene Tuscan countryside, surrounded by olive groves, vineyards, and charming views. This location not only provides comfort and hospitality but also holds a captivating history rooted in centuries-old traditions. Legend has it that the farmhouse was originally a convent for Franciscan friars, dedicated to prayer and agricultural work. Remnants of that era can still be seen today: the ancient wood-fired oven under the portico, still in perfect working order, and the underground spaces where food items, including butter—after which the property is named—were stored.

The three double rooms—“Il Caminetto,” “L’Uliveta,” and “La Corte”—offer a bright, quiet atmosphere elegantly furnished. Each room comes equipped with air conditioning, television, free Wi-Fi, linens, and a private bathroom with a shower or bathtub, hairdryer, and complimentary toiletries. Daily cleaning services are provided. Guests can enjoy various outdoor spaces: a terrace overlooking the park, a shaded loggia, and a pocket terrace on the first floor, perfect for a moment of tranquility.

Breakfast is a delightful ritual featuring homemade pastries, tarts, artisanal cookies, and jams, accompanied by local cheeses and cured meats for those who prefer savory options. Gluten-free products are also available upon request. For those seeking an even more authentic experience, dinner can be reserved in the tavern-wine cellar, where traditional Tuscan dishes made with local ingredients are served.

“La Borraina” is run with passion on a family level, aiming to make every guest feel welcomed and pampered. Its location between Florence and Impruneta allows visitors to enjoy the peaceful countryside without sacrificing proximity to the city. Florence's historic center is just 6 km away and can easily be reached by bus, with a stop close to the property. A stay at La Borraina is an invitation to slow down, savor, and discover the most authentic heart of Tuscany.
