Getting here
Five minutes on foot, on the flat
From the exit of Empoli station to the entrance of the building it's a five-minute walk. If you come by car, you park for free in the surrounding streets.
Empoli is a rail hub: the Florence–Pisa–Livorno line and the line to Siena meet here. For travellers, that means you can arrive from half of Italy with one change in Florence, step off, and be in your room in five minutes.
That's why this place makes sense: not because Empoli is a destination, but because from Empoli you can reach everything without hiring a car.
