A wonderful bed and breakfast outside Florence is I Melograni, located just southeast of Empoli. This is a convenient location for train trips to Florence and Siena. The owners are very engaging and made our stay very enjoyable. This is a beautiful family villa, within a short distance to many hilltowns.

A typical Tuscan breakfast of freshly brewed coffee and brioches, toast, jams, fruit juice and locally produced honey is included in the price and is served on the terrace on sunny days.For those who prefer a savory breakfast we can offer you Tuscany bread filled with prociutto ham and cheese or mozzarella and tomato, all prepared fresh in the pasticceria in the local village and collected early in the morning.

While eating breakfast on the terrace you can enjoy the lovely Tuscan views of olive groves and vineyards and can relax or study your guide books and swap information with other travellers on good places to eat or visit before begining your daily excursions.
