Marignolle Relais & Charme

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, thyme and catmint. Almond and peach blossoms and the intense geranium colors, 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 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.

The relais presents six spacious very finely furnished double rooms, within a refined and comfortable environment, making your stay pleasant and relaxing. Each room is different from the others, both in its shape, its furniture and in its tapestry. Antique furniture, 19th century prints and a small ornament collection complete the refined atmosphere.

The air-conditioned, microclimatic and soundproofed rooms are supplied with satellite TV, direct telephone line and plugs for Internet connections. The built-in closets, being very large and very well equipped. The bathrooms have large mirrors and double built-in Carrara marble washbasins. The toilet is separated from the rest of the bathroom by a door and so is the shower. The precious “cabreuva vermelha” parquet floor gives the atmosphere a warm and welcoming touch.

The relais is designated to non smoking persons, thus the direction begs the clients to respect this rule. Besides, pets are not accepted.

""Very pleased with Marignolle, they went out of their way to make us comfortable".

"Florence and our accommodations at Marignolle was everything I was hoping for. A small family owned villa nestled in the countryside of olive groves and vineyards. Our first afternoon we were lucky enough to spend some time by the pool, sipping on wine and watching the sunset over the hill. With only 10 rentable rooms, their superb staff ensured every detail was covered. The owners even set up a tee time for for us while we were shopping at the local outside markets. When you make your next trip to Florence you have to check Marignolle out!"
