B&B Torre di Badia

An absolute wonderful place to stay in the Chianti region. Very private and quiet. Has only a few rooms - ideal for couples. I have stayed on an agriturismo farmhouse before, and I liked this B&B way better. The views are amazing. The setting was perfect. And the decor is beautiful. Our stay was comfortable, easy and very enjoyable thanks to the fantastic host Francesca. Would definitely go back. Breakfast was delicious with lots of homemade jams, yogurt and cakes. The building and area have a lot of history as well. Way cooler than staying at a farmhouse or winery. I'd recommend staying there as it is well located from Florence and other Tuscan towns and wineries. Thank you Francesca!!!

Francesca is the perfect host. The breakfast is out of this world. In addition to many other foods in the spread, she bakes desserts with an attention to detail that is at a professional level in looks and taste. The rooms are beautiful and updated, but still maintain the character of the original building. The craftsmanship of the renovations is so well executed. The garden is lovely. I highly recommend that you stay here for the scenery, the accommodations, the breakfast, and most importantly to meet Francesca. She is the epitome of hospitality. Thank you for everything!

Recently we stayed at Torre Di Badia for four nights. It was a wonderful place to stay. A great location. Rustic but very clean with nice amenities. The breakfasts were lovely. Giving you quite a few selections— a hot item, cereals, homemade yogurt, pastries – what’s there not to love. We liked to take our coffee and tea out on the patio in the morning. The host was very accommodating and responded to us quickly even before our stay. There are a couple nice restaurants within walking distance. We even took a tour of the monastery close by. You will enjoy.

Francesca and family are fantastic hosts. The B&B is immaculate, the breakfast perfect and the location is phenomenal. Torrie di Badia is in the heart of Passignano (not that it is a huge town by any stretch) just within earshot of the Abby's bell-tower which makes for a perfect location for nice walks, great food within steps of the front door and a superb location for day trips and taking in the sights, food and everything else Tuscany and Florence have to offer.

We Couldn’t ask for a more gracious welcome and invitation into this beautiful setting. Francesca made a point to make us feel right at home, provide Information about Tuscany highlights and places to see and enjoy. The food graciously was prepared and abundantly offered for breakfast. The meal was spectacular in taste as well as visually. Our room was very comfortable, esthetically beautiful and very relaxing . The B and B was exceptionally clean and our room needs were met attentively. I would recommend this stunning B and B in a heartbeat ... and I hope to return again and again . ❤️ Thank you Francesca .

We stayed at B&B Torre di Badia for five nights and four days in early August. We loved both the place and the location. In fact, the B&B is ideally located between Siena and Florence, two of the most beautiful towns in Italy; however, these are not the only sites of interest nearby since the surroundings are rich in beautifully preserved Medieval villages and small towns such as Volterra, San Gimignano, and Colle Val d'Elsa. Another main town of Tuscany, Lucca, can be easily reached by car in half an hour or so. Finally, it is in this part of the region that Chianti is made, so it will be easy for you to book a tour to taste this excellent Italian wine. As for the village of Torre di Badia, it is a small beautiful town surrounded by the green hills of Tuscany; when seen from a distance, it almost looks as if it came out of a fairytale book. The ancient abbey opposite the b&b and the 1200 A.D. tower where the b&b is located are main assets of this beautiful scenery. We were also happy to find out that a couple of excellent restaurants and a bar open until late at night were at walking distance (less than a five minute walk). As for the b&b per se, and our room (Il Ghirlandaio, 1st floor, just a short staircase from the main hall), we simply loved them. The host, Francesca, is a lovely person who does her job with true passion and utmost care towards her customers. Not only does she bake some amazing cakes for breakfast (which includes homemade cakes, croissants, cereals and milk, fruit, ham and local cheese, other local products such as honey from the nearby abbey, a selection of jams, and warm drinks such as espresso, cappuccino with either milk or soy milk, etc.), but she is also very friendly and really knows the area, so she was able to answer all of our questions and give us the best hints to enjoy our trip. Our room was clean, the bed was comfortable, it had the highest ceilings we have ever seen in our lives in a private accommodation, equipped with A/C, and full of light. We also loved the ensuite bathroom which was huge and the separated W.C./wash basin area (located in a small area adjacent to the main bathroom, but always within the room). The solid wooden furniture really added to the suggestive atmosphere and the stone walls of the ancient tower. We loved the furniture around the house, the lounge area just outside of our room with a table to play chess overlooking the beautiful green countryside around us, the comfortable sofas, the outdoor seating areas in the garden and on the terrace just outside the breakfast room. Highly recommended, we'll be back for sure.

What an enchanting place. The best place I stayed in my trip around Europe. Francesca is such a wonderful host. And Angela pampers you every morning. It is a perfect spot if you want to visit Florence and explore Tuscany.

I’ve stayed in Italy for a total of 20 weeks in my life. This is by far one of the best locations I’ve stayed in. We stayed in the Galileo room. The photos online do not do it justice. It is AMAZING. The rooftop access with a 360 degree view is stunning. The modern bathroom, amazing bed, and views from every window are spectacular. It is worth every dollar. Spend the money and get the room. Trust me you wont be disappointed! Francesca is a super host! She’s so amazing. She hand makes the majority of the breakfast items and they are out of this world. I sat down there every day for two hours drinking coffee and eating ;). And she didn’t say a word. She’s very friendly, accommodating and helpful. Try the fish restaurant at the top of the hill. It’s great. This may be in a fairly distance place compared to other spots in Tuscany but it is well worth it. Grab a car and stay here!
