Osteria Il Rifugio In San godenzo

26/04/2026: A trattoria where you can eat good, well-cooked food and, above all, breathe a family atmosphere.

04/04/2026: About thirty kilometers from Florence, along quiet roads and relaxing countryside, this long-established trattoria maintains its standards of traditional Tuscan cuisine with a few rather pleasant "reinterpretations." Portions are generous, but mezze are also available. Today, tagliatelle with broccoli, sun-dried tomatoes, and salted ricotta cheese—to be commended. Then scamerita stew in red wine, with onion and aromatic herbs, and more... with Prosecco, mineral water, bread, and coffee. No-frills dining, lively service, sometimes noisy when crowded, regulars, families, and a few foreigners drawn by word of mouth. Fair prices (the Florentine steak, for example, is priced at 45 euros per kilo, compared to a low of 60 euros per kilo in nearby Florence, which ranges from a high of 140 euros). --- Given the beautiful day, we then climbed to the 1,000 meters of the Villombrosa Abbey, and then to the Consuma Pass, with snow starting at 700 meters. Exceptional on March 28th in a nativity scene landscape. Excellent itinerary, especially in summer, very relaxing and cool, especially when the temperatures in the plains are 30-40 degrees.
