The Castelfiorentino Hostel is perfectly placed in relation to the other famous Tuscan cities, therefore it's possible to reach Florence, Siena and Pisa within an hour. The Hostel is situated in the Elsa River Valley on Via Francigena, a place of transit for pilgrims and travellers on their way to Rome from Northern Europe during Medieval Times. From the XIIth Century onwards it had great political, economic and artistic importance, due to its location on the borders of Florence, Pisa and Siena: cities that have dominated art in all its expressive forms. Today Castelfiorentino offers the visitor the occasion of finding the vestiges of a frontier land, where the works of the Museum of Santa Verdiana are only but a few elements of a rich artistic heritage. Distance of Castelfiorentino from: Florence 40 Km; Pisa 50 Km; Lucca 55 Km; San Gimignano 23 Km; Vinci 25 Km; Siena 48 Km
