Deep in the Tuscan countryside, yet just a stone's throw from Florence, Empoli and Prato, Country Hotel Il Borgo provides Tuscany rental properties, with a pool, ideal for relaxing working holidays, or for a family break.
Four flats have been dedicated to local artists, Alvaro Cartei, Giovanni Vettori, Giovanni Maranghi and Giuseppe Medaglini, to remind one of the importance of art in this small corner of the globe. The minimum stay here is two nights, and you can either book a few days or entire weeks. These Tuscany rental properties lie within a beautiful park, where you can relax, walking among trees and beautiful planting. There is a small lake, an ideal site for a picnic, or you can just relax and wait for the sunset.
Il Borgo is around 10 miles from Florence, Prato and Empoli. The hotel reception is open 24 hours a day and there is a breakfast service. And there’s plenty to do while you’re here. There is a private pool and bike hire available. Florence, Prato and Pistoia, the most important towns in the area, are easy to visit, and your hosts will provide you with a programme of excursions to the most interesting sites.
