loading ...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 14th 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. The comfortable double rooms and the suites, each one unique, are
distinguished by the typical wood-beam ceilings and by the terracotta tiled
floors. Furnished with genuine antiques, all rooms are equipped with en suite
private bathroom (with shower or bath), TV, telephone and air conditioning. Upon
request a baby bed is also available.
