Borgo Grondaie has always selected the best local products for its guests, giving priority to certified organic and biodynamic farms in the area that add quality and safety to our breakfast.

We pay the same attention to the choice of detergents for the cleaning of the rooms with a high hygienic power, but a low environmental impact.

- Before leaving the room, remember to turn off the lights and make sure that the water taps are turned off. 

- Towels are changed daily for guests staying at the hotel, but if you feel that you do not need them, please do not leave the towels on the floor so that they are not replaced.

- The laundry room is available to our guests with two washing machines and a dryer. On sunny days, take advantage of the terrace to dry your laundry.

- If you stay in the apartment, we thank you if you will make your contribution during your holiday by recycling waste. That is why there are two bins in the kitchen:1 Bin is for plastic / glass / cans / tetra Pak / aluminium -1 Bin is for general waste We ask you to pay attention to the labels on the lids and the colours of the bags (white for plastic)

Once they are full, just have to bring bags to the Reception during opening hours.

Enzo: Tel. +390577281277 - Via Camollia, 49. We like it because all dishes are freshly made and this is why it's not recommended if you're in a hurry. Once bitten two shy! Both meat and fish menus are great and the latter not at all ordinary.
