Villa Porcigliano Olive Grove, Borgo San Lorenzo Overview
Villa Porcigliano Olive Grove is located in Borgo San Lorenzo, Italy. Rated 8.0 out of 10 based on 1 guest reviews.
Villa Porcigliano Olive Grove is a quiet stay in Borgo San Lorenzo, Italy, set in the Polcanto area at Via Tassaia 46/b. This is the kind of place that suits travelers who want space and calm over constant bustle, with the added practical comfort of non-smoking rooms and a property that disinfects guest rooms between stays. If you’re arriving with a car, note that offsite parking is available with discounted rates, which helps keep logistics simple in a rural setting.
The surrounding countryside is the main draw here, and guests typically appreciate the sense of privacy and outdoor living that comes with an olive-grove location. One review gives the property an 8/10, and that score reflects a generally positive experience rather than a high-volume, anonymous operation. For active travelers, there’s an electric bicycle charging station, so day trips and longer routes are easier to plan.
Families and small groups will likely like the flexibility of BBQ facilities and the ability to spend time outdoors without feeling tied to a restaurant schedule. Pets are allowed, which is helpful for guests who prefer not to leave companions behind, but you should check any house rules when booking. For couples looking for a slower pace, the setting makes it easier to unwind after a day in Florence.
From Borgo San Lorenzo, you can reach Florence’s major landmarks such as the Duomo di Firenze (around 37 km), Piazza della Signoria (around 37 km), and Giotto’s Bell Tower (around 37 km). The Mugello Circuit is also within reach (about 23 km), making this a sensible base for motorsport weekends or countryside road trips.

What to Expect
