B&B La Martellina
Overview
An ancient mill on the Arno dating back to the 13th century and still intact in its charm.
The B&B is immersed in the landscape of green hills that form the valley of the river.
It is a veritable small oasis of tranquillity.
It is completely surrounded by nature and located in the vicinity of a small village offering a bar, a newsstand, some shops and a restaurant.
The center of Florence lies less than 5 Km away and can be easily reached by car, by bus or by a bicycle path running along the riverside.
Located near a small village Martellina is completely immersed in the green of the countryside.
A beautiful outdoor garden and a rich breakfast are waiting for you in the morning, to allow you to have a pleasant stay with your family. There are ample and well-equipped outdoor spaces (the garden and the terrace give onto the river). There is also a small pool for refreshing during the warmer months.
The bedrooms, baths and a separate hall occupy a wing that is completely reserved to guests.
In a finely restored setting, the bedrooms are furnished with antiques and are provided with satellite-dish television.
A refrigerator is available. Private parking and possibility of bikes chartering.
From here one can easily visit the entire artistic wealth and heritage of the city thanks to the excellent connections (by bus, bicycle or car) or dedicate one's time to exploring the environs of Florence, avoiding city traffic.
The bus stop is located only 200 meters from the B&B in the village square. This bus line (14A) with frequent runs crosses the entire historical center, reaches the Trade Fair and Exposition Center.

Guest Reviews
5 1Accueil chaleureux de la part du propriétaire qui parle un excellent français.Cadre merveilleux au bord de l'Arno. Chambre confortable, très propre. Petits déjeuners copieux. Un plus, à savoir, une ligne d'autobus à 200m de la résidence qui dessert Florence ce qui évite l'usage du véhicule personnel et un restaurant à proximité qui est à recommander. Nous pensons sérieusement y retourner.

SUGGESTIONS FOR REVIEWERS
Describe the key elements of the accommodations : decor, hospitality, value, housekeeping, setting, and/or meals. What were the highlights of your stay? A comfortable bed and elegant decor? The convenient location? The delicious breakfasts and afternoon snacks? The hospitality of the innkeepers? Extra amenities and/or advice for business or vacation travel? If in the area again, would you return? Recommend to friends?
Be both honest and fair : We feature various types of accommodation - some more luxurious than others ... Criteria of charm vary from person to person
We offer a wide selection of quality guesthouses for all tastes and budgets
It is not fair to compare a guesthouse that charges €75 a night with a nearby property that charges double or triple that rate.
Things can go wrong in the best of guesthouses, and the difference between an average place and a great one is how the innkeepers address the problem when something unexpected occurs.
Avoid hyperbole : Reviews that include only effusive praise or complete condemnation are rarely helpful or even credible.
Innkeeper responses : There are at least two sides to every story (often three!). The reviews posted on the Charming Guest Rooms website are taken seriously by innkeepers.
We reserve the right for innkeepers to respond to any review.
