Borselli: Find Hotels for Your Stay

Borselli offers travelers several specific points of interest: three stops on the SI90 bus route, its historic role along old routes, and roads and walking trails through the landscape. If you are looking for a hotel in Borselli, you can start by considering whether getting there, local history, or time outdoors is the deciding factor for your stay. Bus travel, the history of the pass, and specific route details address different planning questions.

Plan Your Bus Trip to Borselli

The Autolinee Toscane SI90 bus route serves three stops in Borselli: Borselli Case Nuove, Borselli, and Borselli 1. If you plan to use the SI90, check the current timetable before you travel and confirm which of the three stops is closest to your specific destination address.

Roadside Views and Trails

The SP91 offers different ways to experience the landscape. Between Borselli's square and Pomino, there are openings in the vegetation with views across the valley. At the first major bend in the SP91, an unpaved road leads to Bavecchia and Bai; Falgano can be reached from there by trail. If you plan to walk this trail, check the conditions locally.

A hiking trail follows path no. 21 and climbs to Borselli along a difficult mule track. Take this difficulty into account when planning your hike and check the trail conditions locally before setting out. Tables in Borselli's public park are suitable for a picnic; check locally before your visit whether picnicking is possible.

Borselli as a Historic Pass

Since ancient times, Borselli has been a pass on a road that ran from Pelago through Ferrano and the Tòsina valley to Castelnuovo, and eventually into the Casentino. It followed older Etruscan and Roman routes. In the Middle Ages, Borselli was the last inhabited outpost of some importance before the road continued to the ridge of the Casentino. These details describe different aspects: the older route reflects the pass's function, while the medieval context highlights Borselli's role along the road onward.

In 1329, Florence decided to build the fortified settlement of “Terra Nuova” near Borselli. In the history of the area, this decision was a later planning initiative, following the older routes. If you choose Borselli for its history, the pass's function, the historic routes, and the settlement plan offer three different ways to explore the area's past.

Culture in Tòsina

The church in Tòsina is dedicated to Santa Margherita; the first record of it dates to 1038. The cloister of Santa Margherita is first mentioned in 1466. Its features include small columns with Ionic capitals and various decorative motifs. Dates from the 16th to the 18th centuries are engraved on the small columns. These dates refer to different things: an early record of the church, the first mention of the cloister, and inscriptions on the small columns.

Initiatives in Tòsina include guided excursions and visits to the surrounding area. If you would like to include one of these activities in your trip, check availability and booking conditions in advance.
