Hotel description
The Relais Villa II Sasso is located in Bagno a Ripoli, an exclusive suburb of Florence just outside the southwestern border of the city. This small, proud villa is surrounded by a spacious Italian-style garden with carefully trimmed lawn, groves of old trees, blooming potted plants and a stylish swimming pool. Behind its historic façade, 7 sophisticated guest rooms await in three categories, each with thoroughly antique furnishings. A further delight is the highly professional hotel staff.
Boutique Hotel: Peaceful ambience & historical luxury
Today’s Relais Villa II Sasso served for centuries as a private estate. Down to the last corner, the high-class lifestyle of a Florentine noble family can be felt. At the same time, with only seven rooms guests can enjoy the peace and relaxed atmosphere of a private house even when the hotel is fully booked. Common rooms, including several salons, a spacious garden and a glass-roofed courtyard, offer countless opportunities for retreat. Additionally, a tea kitchen is available for common use by all guests.
Romantic Hotel: Small hotel for high demands
For a romantic trip to Florence, the Relais Villa II Sasso is an excellent choice, particularly if you’re looking for a historic and peaceful atmosphere. For the highest of demands, three suites are available to choose from. In the Ciampolini Suite, a large canopy bed awaits, surrounded by antique wall frescos and a fantastic beamed ceiling. The two-floor Falchi Suite encompasses a stylish wellness bath with whirlpool.
Historic Hotel: Authentic furnishings & antique treasures
Impressive wall paintings, wood ceilings, authentic furniture, premium marble and ceramic baths as well as countless appropriate living accessories create an authentic atmosphere in all rooms. Even in the public rooms, valuable antique furniture and artworks reveal the history of the house. A particularly beautiful sight is the historic courtyard, which has been transformed into a winter garden with a glass roof.
Food & Drink: Breakfast and lunch by the pool
At heart, the Relais Villa II Sasso is a bed & breakfast hotel. Depending on the weather, a delicious breakfast buffet is served every morning either in the hearth room or outside in the garden. Lunch can be served at the pool on timely order, and drinks can be ordered all day long at the pool or in the winter garden. The hotel does not offer cuisine in the evening.
Athletics & Leisure: Individual concierge service
Although the hotel does not offer leisure activities itself, a whole range of cultural and athletic activities can be organized on request. For example, the permanent offering includes guided bike tours, riding excursions from a nearby horse farm, or cooking classes. In addition, the friendly service team is happy to help with reservations for individual activities or restaurant trips.
Location: Near the city & in the middle of the vineyard region
Anyone looking to explore Florence as well as rural Tuscany, particularly the Chianti region, can’t go wrong with the Relais Villa II Sasso. From the terrace you get a beautiful view of the soft hills of the wine region. At the same time the city center is only about 10 minutes away by car.
