Down town of Impruneta (main square of the town) |
|
| Opened in 1906, the hotel still maintains untouched the charm of last century, of which it preserves the original “cotto-bricked” floor, the style and furnishings with, in addition, all modern comforts. Bellavista, run since the beginning by the Becucci family (which has now reached its 4th generation), is much appreciated for its warm and homely atmosphere, as well as being renowned for its restaurant. |

All rooms have private bathroom and are equipped with hair-drier, telephone, satellite TV and air conditioning. |
