The guesthouse stands at Borselli, a hamlet of Pelago along the historic road that climbs to the Consuma Pass, between Vallombrosa and the Casentino. It is the ideal base for those seeking the mountains a step away from Florence.
The pass and its panoramas
From the Consuma Pass, spectacular views open in every direction, from the Casentino Forests National Park all the way to Florence. The pass has always been a place of passage and rest: here you can enjoy the famous schiacciata flatbread and the local mountain produce.
The Casentino Forests National Park
Beyond the pass you enter one of the largest and most pristine parks in the Apennines, with centuries-old beech and fir woods, waterfalls and ancient monasteries such as Camaldoli and the Sanctuary of La Verna. It is a land to be experienced slowly, on foot or by bicycle.
Winter and the snow
In winter Consuma and Borselli are cloaked in snow and become a destination for lovers of winter sports and walks in the white. The guesthouse, with its ancient walls and intimate rooms, is the perfect refuge to warm up after a day in the cold.
