 Overlooking
one of the most lovely hills surrounding
Florence, between the Certosa Convent
and Ponte Vecchio, lies the Marignolle
Relais & Charme.
Tranquillity, comfort and closeness to the
historical city centre, are some of the
features that make the relais particularly
pleasant for those who wish for a relaxing
holiday, in an exclusive and charming environment.
Thanks to its ideal position, from the relais
it is possible to reach the city centre
in a few minutes and visit its important
monuments, museums and art galleries. You
will also have the chance to take part in
the cultural events and fashion happenings
that the city offers in every season.
The relais is also an excellent base
for excursions in the Chianti area,
with its wonderful farmhouses and castles,
to visit the Medieval towns of Siena,
Volterra, San Gimignano, or
other historical towns like Arezzo,
Pistoia, Pisa, Lucca.
 The
relais is surrounded by the typical
scenery of the Florentine hills, with cypresses
and cane-apple trees, broom bushes and pine
trees, amongst the scents of lavender, rosemary,
time and catmint. Almond and peach blossoms
and the intense geranium colours, according
to the season, complete the harmony of the
landscape.
In a quiet and reserved location, a lovely
pool with a large solarium, presenting deck
chairs and sunning beds, is at guests’ disposal
from May to October, assuring a relaxing
and refreshing break from work or from touring
amongst the beauties of the Tuscan land.
The relais and its parking lot are
both fenced in. Access is permitted only
through the automatic gate with a screen
intercom, as privacy and safety are two
prerogatives of our relais.
 Breakfast
is served gracefully and professionally,
either in your room or in the large gazebo
during the summer months. It may be a traditional
continental breakfast with local jams, croissants,
or home-made pies, or it may be American
style, with scrambled eggs for all tastes,
cheese and bacon, served in refined Florentine
china dishes and silverware, making it feel
like a Sunday morning family breakfast.
 As
a matter of fact, the relais, as
it is inside a garden of a private home,
has that home feeling. Its cosy, comfortable
and exclusive atmosphere makes our guests
feel at ease just like in their own home.
