OUR OPINION

Located in midst of lovely green Tuscan hills, but just a few minutes drive from Ponte Vecchio, the Relais marignolle is the perfect escape from the crowds of Florence.

The 6 beautifully appointed room are ample in size with liberal sprinkling of 19th century furniture and prints

The swimming pool, set in a typically Tuscan landscape of cypress and olive trees  invites guests to simply unwind and relax after a full day of sightseeing.

The Relais Marignolle serves a superb breakfast with home made cakes and pastries or a full cooked breakfast with eggs, cheese and bacon. Breakfast is served in the large gazebo in the gardens of the Relais during the summer months.

Its excellent location makes it a perfect base from which to discover other beautiful areas, including Chianti's charming hilltop hamlets and the superb medieval towns of Siena, Lucca and Pisa.

Relais Marignolle can arrange dining at the best restaurants or in typical trattorias in downtown Florence or in the Florentine hills, perfect for those who appreciate the exquisite culinary offerings of Tuscan cuisine.

For those who don't want to leave the Relais, they can organize simple snacks or a delicious light dinner upon request or book a table at the famous Florentine trattoria located near the Relais.

Breakfast is served in a large gazebo offering with panoramic views across the Tuscany countryside.

The six spacious rooms with an immaculate style reflect the exceptional taste of the owner and an extraordinary attention to detail, they include: satellite TV, minibar, safe, air conditioning, WiFi
  
There is a courtesy service in the rooms so you can make tea and coffee at any time of the day, a well-stocked minibar, a selection of wines and sparkling wines to drink on the veranda or under the gazebo in peace and quiet.

Museums and Gallery
We suggest booking visits in advance, especially for some museums like the Galleria degli Uffizi, Galleria dell’Accademia, and Museo Nazionale del Bargello while the Musei di Palazzo Pitti, Galleria Palatina, the Royal apartments, the Boboli Gardens and Palazzo Vecchio can be booked during your stay; advanced booking will help you avoid entrance lines.

Cooking class
Foodies can try a “delicious experience” with the cooking lessons of Ms. Paola, watching the preparation of traditional dishes and actively participating in making them using simple and genuine products and the right cooking method, the real secrets to Florentine culture. You can then try the dishes  made in the gazebo along with a nice glass of Chianti.

Golf

For those who love Golf, the hotel can book green-fees for three splendid greens in the Florence area; the historic green inaugurated in 1933 at Golf Club dell’Ugolino, the magnificent green designed by Arnold Palmerm, Le Pavoniere, and the charming Poggio dei Medici, the former site of the Italian Women's Open, all of which are between 15-40 minutes by car.
