The B4 Firenze Granducato by Boscolo is strategically located a few kilometres from Florence in lush parklands. A splendid tree-lined driveway through the Tuscan countryside leads to the sumptuous 16th-century noble villa which was owned by an aristocratic family up the start of the last century. The hotel's extraordinary location makes it an ideal choice or short breaks, meetings, events and ceremonies. Careful restoration has blended historic features and original architecture with contemporary comforts and design. The decor in the 60 rooms is the epitome of tasteful colours and elegant furnishings. From the wood-beamed ceilings to the leather chairs, one tasteful detail after another blends with history. The restaurant which is famous for its Tuscan cuisine, the garden and the swimming pool complete the high profile of the Granducato, a hotel of international level and exquisite Italian taste.
