Bed and Breakfast La Martellina

A quaint place to stay in a charming village. The bus to Florence is frequent and easy. The B&B is full of charm. We stayed in the old mill tower, converted to a room with a view of the river Arno. You could see up to old roof timbers when lying in bed. It was like something out of Skyrim!||The innkeeper, Claudio, has a dog and two adorable cats. His breakfast food is delicious, too!

Beautiful stay. Would totally recommend to anyone who wants a couple of relaxed days in an off road environment surrounded by nature. Claudio was súper helpful and the breakfast was amazing. Very close to Florence city as well, it is super easy to take the bus an be there in minutes. We already want to go back!

Wonderful place to stay just outside Florence. Beautiful room and historic mill. Restful stay for us after a long leg of our journey. Garden and river patio was perfect after a day traveling and in the city. Claudio and team makes a wonderful breakfast. Very reasonably priced. Thanks for having us!

Had a fantastic stay at Claudio’s b&b. He’s a one man show and does it very well. This stay has encouraged me to look for similar b&bs in my next travel destinations. When you’re on the property you would have no idea a city is near by, but still get the luxury of all Florence has to offer within a 30 minute bus ride. Couldn’t recommend it more

What a beautiful experience. We stayed at Claudio’s place for 4 day visit to Florence. He was an amazing host. Our room was perfect. We stayed in the large room (Two windows above outside dining table in pics) Nice breeze from the river and open windows kept us cool at night. The bed was very comfortable and the breakfast was perfect. We enjoyed visiting with Claudio. His dog, Daisy and the 2 cats were a fun added addition. Short walk to the bus stop and a relaxing break from the city. We also were able to enjoy the company of other guests- making new friends and we cooked an evening meal together using the grill. Absolutely would stay again.

It was an amazing stay at Claudios b&b! Really beautiful house with a wonderful garden and the cutest dog right next to the river. Very esthetic interior and furniture, a lot of it made from local wood. The best breakfast I've ever had, while staying somewhere away from home, made freshly by Claudio every morning. You could literally taste the hospitality! Great location while visiting florence, just a 25min bike ride away and you can cycle next to the tiver the whole time. Alternativly you can take the bus which stops just 1 min walk from the house. Claudio was really friendly to let us borrow some bikes and was always open for a nice chat. Huge recommendation to stay in this amazing place!!

Claudio was so welcoming at La Martellina, and the place itself is beautiful. Clean and comfy rooms, gorgeous garden with a little pool for cooling off and access to the river. The breakfast was absolutely excellent and just a perfect experience of the relaxed Italian approach! We loved it here and would definitely return. It is a bus ride into Florence proper, but Claudio also gave good recommendations for more local food and drinks - ask about the pizza place up the road! 100% would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing and chilled out way to visit Florence.

What a find! This was such a lovely place to stay, right on the banks of the Arno river. Claudio is a delight, so very helpful, and with a brilliant sense of humour. We stayed in the Tower (Torre), which was beautifully restored, had a very comfortable bed, aircon, and an epic view of the river. The outside space was very tranquil, with hammocks and tables and chairs, as well as a pool. The location is fantastic for visiting Firenze - the bus stop at the top of the road is the last stop on the 14 line; Claudio provides details on this when you first arrive.
