Il Borghetto e la Casina take part to B&B Day 2024

Guests love it because: charming property, spectacular view, near the metro, near the station, near the airport.

Il Borghetto e la Casina is far from the madding crowd, from pollution and traffic, BUT it is only 15 minutes away from our beautiful cathedral on public transport, or a pleasant 40-minute walk. You can't wish for a better place to stay, when in Florence, so what are you waiting for?

Il Borghetto e la Casina is a tourist rental: this means that we are not allowed to serve breakfast.

We have an amazing stay at Il Borghetto. Isabella and Meggi were very nice to us, and the house is beautiful. The room and bathroom were very nice, just what we needed to recharge after a busy tourist day in Florence.

stayed from 04/13/2024 to 04/15/2024

The answer from the host:
Cristobal, le tue parole sono proprio quello che serve a me, per ricaricarmi! Questo lavoro è faticoso ma, quando gli ospiti sono come voi, regala grandissime gioie, grazie di cuore!

The accommodation is located 3 km from the city center but compensates for that distance with its beautiful layout and personal touch. The house and garden are amazing and it's absolutely quiet at night. The owner was very welcoming and the room was comfortable and clean. Sadly, breakfast was not included but on the way to the city center there are multiple bakeries and bars to have a typical Italian breakfast.

stayed from 10/09/2023 to 10/14/2023

The answer from the host:
dear Christina, thank you for this nice review!! One of the differences between a Tourist Rental and aB&B is that Tourist Rentals are not allowed to serve breakfast to their guests... On the other hand, only my guests can have breakfast for a special price at a nearby café! :D

I had a wonderful time staying at Il Borghetto and La Casina. It is such a beautiful property and the owner, Isabella, is so kind and helpful! Throughout my stay, she provided great recommendations for restaurants and things to do, and went out of her way to make sure I had a good stay. The animals on the property are also super friendly and adorable.

stayed from 07/16/2023 to 07/17/2023

The answer from the host:
how i loved to read your review, dear Beatrice, and your appreciation for my animals: they loved your comments, too, and send purrs!!

It was a beautiful stay at this cozy house, the garden was simply magic. The house is close to the tramvia which allows to be in the city center in 10 minutes. It is also close to a very good Italian restaurant, to the supermarket, etc. It is surrounded by peace, nature and silence, such a beautiful place. The owner was gentle and available for our requests. I loved it. Very recommended! I will be back! Thank you Isabella.

Fabulous place, very clean and neat. Isabella was very helpful, friendly and easy to communicate. We would love to come back. Lovely location. Just superb.

stayed from 05/04/2023 to 05/06/2023

The answer from the host:
dearest Ewa! meeting and chatting with you you it's been fun and lovely, thank you for your vitality BUT WHY did you give me one point for "breakfast", while you knew (confess!) that we are a tourist rental and therefore we're not allowed to provide anything edible - or drinkable This is a quote from our description online: "Il Borghetto e la Casina is a tourist rental: this means that we are not allowed to serve breakfast". You'll have to come back soon and make amends on the next review ;) Much love from Florence :D ♥♥♥

Good welcome. Appreciated parking possibility. Beautiful house and garden in the city.

stayed from 06/01/2024 to 06/03/2024

The answer from the host:
Dear Jo, my French is really bad, and there was no other language we could use to communicate, but I am sure I could have done something to make you feel better, if you had let me know what was wrong. I am really sorry about this.

There are no real breakfasts but tea available and access to a kitchen, equipped with a refrigerator. Isabella is a perfect host: caring, kind, it's easy to communicate with her. The garden is large and pleasant. The house is very pleasant. I hope to come back one day!

stayed from 09/28/2023 to 09/30/2023

The answer from the host:
thank you for your kind words, Sophie. It was a pleasure to meet you and look forward to seeing you again! (just a note regarding breakfast: for a tourist rental, as mine is, it is forbidden to provide any kind of food/beverage: the only item admitted in my place is the water kettle)

A beautiful accommodation in a quiet area (Rifredi) slightly outside the center, but easily reachable in half an hour from the central station by tram and on foot. Isabella, the owner, and Maggie, the dog, welcomed and assisted us very kindly. We received many great tips. I can only recommend the accommodation. Thank you for the pleasant stay!

stayed from 02/15/2024 to 02/18/2024

An oasis in the bustling city of Florence. Thank you Isabel for the hospitality. The accommodation is located slightly outside the city center. However, Isabel provided us with great restaurant recommendations in the neighborhood.

Positive evaluation. Isabella's kindness, the beautiful location, the welcome, and the cleanliness of the rooms contributed to making the short stay pleasant. A true oasis in the chaotic city of Florence, where one breathes an atmosphere of other times. The structure is easily reachable and is located slightly outside the city center, on a quiet street.

stayed from 09/13/2024 to 09/15/2024

The answer from the host:
Grazie per queste belle parole, Stefano; spero che ci sarà presto un'altra occasione per incontrarvi!

The structure and the owner Isabella are both fantastic! The room is clean and equipped with everything you need, including a small handmade eco-friendly gift! The property is located just outside the historic center of Florence, excellently served by public transport and immersed in greenery, ideal after intense days in the Tuscan capital. Isabella was extremely kind and available to welcome us outside of hours, she provided us with valuable information and communication was always constant and immediate. Highly recommended.

stayed from 03/01/2024 to 03/03/2024

Cara Carlotta, che belle parole: mi fa sempre tanto piacere ricevere una conferma che i miei sforzi per rendere le camere confortevoli vengono apprezzati, grazie di cuore!

cara Paola, qui è nata la mia mamma, e qui siamo nati io e i miei fratelli, e le tue parole mi hanno fatto sentire il profumo di quando qui ci giocavo, invece di sgobbare!! :D (Sarà un caso che proprio oggi che vengo a leggere le ultime recensioni sarebbe stato il compleanno di mia madre?)

The evaluation can only be positive, indeed very positive! The kindness of Mrs. Isabella, the beautiful location, the welcoming rooms have contributed to making the short stay very pleasant. For breakfast, although not expected, we found a snack and the possibility to also prepare tea and herbal teas. I thank once again Mrs. Isabella for her courtesy and hospitality.

A very pleasant and discreet accommodation, also rare in a city the size of Florence, as it is a property with a large courtyard and an equally vast and beautiful garden. The location is not central but still close to the historic center; moreover, this is a strength because the area is extremely quiet and restful.

stayed from 07/21/2023 to 07/23/2023

The answer from the host:
grazie Giuliana, sono contenta che vi siate trovati bene!!

Short but pleasant stay for the welcome. The structure is located in a very beautiful and quiet area of Florence. With the tram in less than half an hour you can reach the center. Mrs. Isabella manages the welcome with kindness and cordiality, very helpful to meet any requests, and attentive to details. The room is very pretty and well-kept. Excellent for cleanliness. I recommend the place especially to those looking to reconcile the chaos of Florentine tourism with a small oasis of tranquility.

Recommended stay for the kindness of Isabella and the excellent value for money. Suitable for getting away from the heat and crowding of the center of Florence: the secluded location, but easily reachable by car or public transport, can therefore be a strength. The Jolly room was small, but well cared for and furnished. The presence of a beautiful garden and the friendly animals is worth the visit. Thanks again Isabella, Arianna and Adele.

I stayed at this property during the WHO concert at Firenze Rocks. The property is in a very beautiful, quiet location and relatively close to the center of Florence. It has a beautiful garden and parking availability. Everything is very well-kept and clean. The owner is very kind and also provides many indications on places to see, even unusual and less touristy ones. During peak season, it is advisable to stay for more than one night to avoid the surcharge applied for a single night.

stayed from 06/17/2023 to 06/18/2023

The answer from the host:
cara Paola, mi dispiace che non vi siate trovati bene come avremmo desiderato. Soprattutto, mi dispiace non aver potuto rimediare a ciò che sarebbe stato rimediabile, cioè la pulizia: ci siamo incontrate e sentite spesso, dunque bastava che mi dicessi qualcosa e avrei provveduto immediatamente. Per legge una locazione turistica non prevede il servizio di pulizia durante il soggiorno degli stessi ospiti. Ti ringrazio per darmi l'opportunità di ricordare un'altra differenza fondamentale fra B&B e locazione turistica, cioè che alle locazioni turistiche non è permesso fornire NIENTE di commestibile. Nella scheda descrittiva della mia struttura è detto chiaramente: "il Borghetto e la Casina è una locazione turistica, dunque non abbiamo il permesso di servire la colazione". Mi dispiace anche aver ricevuto un giudizio negativo per quanto riguarda la posizione: nella descrizione dico che "il Borghetto e la Casina si trova in una zona perfetta per visitare Firenze o trattenersi in città per motivi di lavoro o di salute: più sotto alcune distanze da alcuni luoghi e servizi", ed elenco le distanze di ben 19 luoghi fra cui aeroporto, stazioni di treni e bus, autostrada, bar, ristoranti e musei. Del resto volendo dormire vicini all'ospedale, era sottinteso che sareste stati lontani (4km) dal centro... Grazie comunque per aver soggiornato da noi, un cordiale saluto, isabella

The only flaw is just 'Bed'. Missing breakfast apart from the 'welcome kit' with an industrial snack.

stayed from 11/01/2022 to 11/03/2022

The answer from the host:
caro Luigi, nella descrizione delle camere è scritto "colazione non prevista": la merendina industriale (servita con 4 diversi filtri di tè e 4 tisane differenti, un barattolino di caffè solubile, e una bottiglietta di acqua) è una cortesia per gli ospiti non dovuta, ma soprattutto vietata dalla legge alle locazioni turistiche (quale io sono). Mi dispiace che non abbia trovato un buon rapporto qualità/prezzo: cercherò di studiare meglio i colleghi nelle vicinanze, grazie per il suggerimento!

Structure in a beautiful location, a bit outside and 'raised' compared to the city center, which is reachable on foot in 40 minutes. The area is immersed in greenery and away from the chaos, in a true corner of paradise for being so close to the center. The tram stop is less than 10 minutes on foot and if needed, there is also the bus terminus 100 meters away for those who do not want to walk. Isabella is a magnificent manager, she welcomed us with joy and kindness and gave us lots of tips to make the most of the little time we had available. We were three girls and even returning at 1 am on foot from the tram stop to the structure, we had no problems because the area is residential and very quiet. There is only a climb of about 300 meters that takes the breath away from those who are lazier. Cozy and very clean room, equipped with bath products and hairdryer. Additionally, there is a kettle with tea and instant coffee, as well as some snacks for breakfast. Surely, if we were to return to Florence, we would definitely come back to this structure! Thanks again Isabella.
