The perfect blend of rural charm and city access, with Florence nearby and a Michelin-starred restaurant next door—highl

Pro: We were absolutely stunned by the history and beauty of Borgo Ponte all’Asse. The character of the property is truly remarkable — from the centuries-old architecture to the incredible original artwork that adds so much depth and atmosphere. Despite the warm weather, the thick historic walls kept the interior pleasantly cool, so we didn’t even need air conditioning. What truly made our stay unforgettable was Paola’s warm hospitality. She made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived — her kindness and attention to detail were unmatched. Everything was impeccably clean and thoughtfully prepared, which only added to the comfort and authenticity of the experience. It was a perfect blend of history, beauty, and heartfelt welcome.

Pro: Great location,very close to the city center. Very nice and friendly staff. I would highly recommend this place! We really enjoyed our stay! Thank you !

A beautiful, quiet location to stay, reflecting the cultural heritage of Florence through its style.

Pro: The property is located in a quiet neighborhood. We really liked the villa-museum style with its paintings and the smell of flowers in the garden. The host was very friendly and helpful. Upon our arrival, she recommended many places to visit and provided a lot of advice on how to get there. One morning, she also surprised us with a dessert. There are a few parking spaces near the property where we could park two cars. Getting to the city was easy and fast. We left our cars at the nearby Esselunga supermarket, which had many empty parking spots, and took the bus from the stop in front of the supermarket.

Pro: It was the a really wonderful place to discover, enjoy Florence and Tuscany, and also to rest! The rooms were very nice, sleep was sound, the temperature was never too hot, because the thick walls kept their coolness. And the beautiful, romantic yard... everything was perfect!

Contro: The place and hosts suited us very well, so there's no answer for this question.

Charm and character

Pro: The room is wonderful, with original stile liberty wall paintings and a grand piano, a very comfortable bed, quiet surrounding, blissful sleep! The borgo is very charming, Paola is delightful, and very helpful. The location is good if you have a car, easy to park and reach central Florence with public transport, only a 15 minute bus ride away. I look forward to visiting again!

Contro: Liked everything

Pro: This stay is a case where the result exceeds the expectation. Amazing yard, helpful and benevolent hosts. Spacious rooms and created a feeling of home. The kitchen has coffee, tea, and all the necessary utensils for cooking. We stayed with a car and it was very convenient because 8 min. on the road there is a large shopping center where you can leave your car for free and take the T1 tram to the center of Florence from the nearby stop. Thanks for a great week in Tuscany and the recommendations.

Great find

Pro: Wonderful hosts, very helpful and genuinely good souls. The courtyard is a great place to start the day and enjoy the thoughtful breakfast.

Contro: The locks are a little awkward to use.

Excellent calm and beautiful place and garden.

Pro: Paola is an experienced host and she provided us with all necessary information already at arrival about the apartment and the surroundings in Florence. She speaks excellent English. We were offered every morning a choice to select our breakfast and it was delicious. The apartment is very clean and the 2 beds were conformable. The walls were hand painted and it's areal piece of art. The garden is splendid and has so much comfort and beautiful arrangements. It felt we were in one of the most beautiful regions of Italy. We could use the garden, the vast dining area inside the house and the kitchen. The latter is very well equipped. Paola showed us a nearby bio garden where we could pick and buy delicious vegetables. We enjoyed so much our stay at B&B Borgo Ponte dell'Asse and we are looking forward to go back again and have our interesting conversations with Paola and Alessandro.

Paola made me feel like a princess in this very atmospheric authentic borgo.

Pro: Paola is the most wonderful host. She was very helpful with everything, from giving information about intestering sightseeings in and around Firenze to giving many lifts by car. It was also a great pleasure talking with her about the history of the house and her grandfather, who was an important sculptor. There was a wonderful historic Pleyel grand piano in my room, which had even been tuned recently. I also loved the beautiful young maine coon cat, which was outside in the inner court playing an enjoying attention from time to time. All of this made me feel home very much and I wish I could have stayed longer.

Contro: Nothing at all!
