B&B
ART is located in an ancient palace which was recently restored in San
Casciano Val di Pesa. It is conveniently situated in the heart of the
Chianti region, within easy reach of the most important tourist sites
of Tuscany. It is close to Florence, which is only 15 kilometres away.
The palace was built during the 14 th
century adjacent to the walls which surround the Medieval city of San
Casciano Val di Pesa. It was originally a hospital for the neighbouring
Benedictine monastery of Santa Maria del Gesù. For several centuries it
accommodated monastery guests and pilgrims. Subsequently it became a
popular public guesthouse until the Second World War when it was
partially destroyed by bombing. Today the palace houses the elegant and
refined B&B ART.
B&B ART takes its name from the precious contemporary art collection housed in the palace.
For
those without a car, bus service is available from San Casciano Val di
Pesa to Florence, Siena and various other famous tourist sites. The bus stop is a few metres from the B&B ART entrance.
B&B ART is the perfect place to spend your holidays surrounded by nature, history, culture, gastronomy and wine tasting.
