Podere Badia, Borgo San Lorenzo Overview
Podere Badia is located in Borgo San Lorenzo, Italy. Rated 8.0 out of 10 based on 2 guest reviews.
Podere Badia is a small, pet-friendly stay in Borgo San Lorenzo, Italy, set on via di Grezzano, 113 just outside town where the pace slows and the countryside feels close. If you’re arriving by car, the area suits day trips into the Mugello hills, with Mugello Circuit about 25 km away and Giotto’s House in Vespignano roughly 15 km from the property. The property’s outdoor spaces are a big part of the appeal: start the day with the free breakfast, then unwind in the garden or take a dip in the rooftop pool when you want a change of scenery.
Guests highlight the practical comfort and the calm atmosphere, and the overall rating of 8/10 from two reviews suggests a generally positive experience for visitors who value a quiet base rather than a busy city address. The 24-hour front desk and express check-in/check-out make arrivals and departures smoother, especially when your schedule is tight. Free WiFi helps you plan routes, while luggage storage is useful if you want to explore before settling in.
The best for couples and solo explorers who want countryside downtime with easy access to Mugello-area sights, Podere Badia also works for travelers traveling with pets, since pets are allowed. You’ll also find a designated smoking area and a terrace for lingering outdoors, making it a straightforward choice for those who want simple, functional hospitality with a few standout outdoor moments.

Should You Book Podere Badia?
Worth considering if you want a relaxing, amenity-led stay with free breakfast, strong WiFi, and a rooftop pool/terrace. The 8/10 guest rating based on 2 reviews is promising but limited, so it’s a good pick for flexible travelers rather than a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
Best For
- Couples seeking a calm, scenic base with terrace and garden downtime
- Travelers who value free breakfast and reliable in-room connectivity (free WiFi)
- Guests who want outdoor leisure time, including a rooftop pool and outdoor spaces
- Pet owners traveling with pets, since pets are allowed
Not Ideal For
- Travelers who need very late check-in or early check-in, since check-in is only 04:00 PM–08:00 PM
- Guests who prefer a fully non-smoking environment, since there is a designated smoking area
- Skeptical bookers who want more than a small sample of feedback, since the rating is based on only 2 reviews
What to Expect
Check in is available from mid-afternoon until early evening, so you’ll likely arrive, settle in, and immediately start enjoying the property’s outdoor feel. The rooftop terrace and rooftop pool create a relaxing rhythm for downtime, while the garden adds a quieter, more open-air atmosphere. Mornings can start with the complimentary breakfast, and you can stay connected with free WiFi while using luggage storage as needed. With only two reviews driving the 8/10 score, the stay seems to be generally well-regarded, but it’s best approached as a pleasant, low-risk choice rather than a proven standout.

Podere Badia is in Borgo San Lorenzo, with the address on via di Grezzano, 113, putting you in a residential area rather than a central, nightlife-focused spot.
