In the heart of Impruneta, a short distance from Florence, lies Borgo de' Ricci, a splendid
fourteenth century complex which houses the prestigious Azienda Agricola Lanciola, and
typically Tuscan elegant apartments...
Borgo de' Ricci lies in the hills of Impruneta, just 5 minutes by car from Florence and a short
distance from the Chianti area.
Surrounded by gentle vineyard and olive grove covered
hills, this splendid Florence relais represents the ideal starting place for exploring this part of
Tuscany to discover all its artistic and natural wonders.
The most interesting places

open air museum, the wonderful Charterhouse Monastery near Florence, Greve in Chianti,
the "gateway to Chianti" famous for its excellent gourmet product and San Gimignano, a
town on the Unesco World Heritage List.<
All around the fourteenth century Borgo de' Ricci complex are many pretty medieval towns
where traditional country fairs and festivals are held where guests can taste the very fresh
seasonal products grown in the area.
The apartments
