Welcome to “La Borraina” Bed & Breakfast
The Bed & Breakfast “La Borraina” is a charming and characteristic Tuscan country-style house just a few minutes from Florence, surrounded by lush olive groves and vineyards, and it is also a place rich in history. According to an ancient legend passed down from generation to generation, in this location was established a convent by Franciscan friars who, loyal to the principle “ora et labora”, were dedicated to agriculture and livestock farming.
Most probably here were located the granary and the barn while, almost in the center of the olive grove, there were subterranean rooms used to keep cheeses, meats and butter cool and fresh. And it is right the conservation of the butter that gave rise to the name “La Borraina”. Later it has been inhabited by farmers who produced olive oil and wine as well as bread for the whole community thanks to a capable wood-fired oven situated under the loggia that is still in use today.
