Porcigliano is a private country house offering a bed and breakfast accommodation where you will find a friendly atmosphere and a warm hospitality.
It is located a few kilometres away from Florence in a beautiful landscape, at 450 mt altitude, just out of the small village of Polcanto.
When our family bought Porcigliano in 1999, it was in terrible disrepair. Since then we have restored the house which originally was built on the ruins of a medival tower, using only local and environmentally compatible materials. We have personally followed every phase of the restoration down to the last details.
Today Porcigliano is a special place to stay.
The rooms are spacious, cosy, with very comfortable bathrooms and a beautiful view over the valley. Each room has its own style, and it has been furnished with old family’s furniture. We have provided all rooms with wood beds and natural wool mattresses and pillows.
There is a kitchen/breakfast room where we will offer a rich continental breakfast with most of the products coming from local organic farming and during the warm season breakfast is served in the garden.
In our country garden lovely corners for relaxing or picnicing, the view is charming and the air full of scents.
Porcigliano is an ideal location for visiting Florence and exploring Mugello an attractive teritory rich in history, art and nature. Cities like Siena, San Gimignano, Arezzo, Pisa, Lucca can be visited during a day’s excursion.
We can arrange tours through the countryside or daily excursion in Florence or Siena area
