Hotels Signa, Guesthouses Signa and Residences Signa

The small municipality of Signa, which is situated south-east of Florence, halfway between Prato and Pistoia, extends across the vast alluvial plain of the stream Ombrone and the rivers Arno and Bisenzio and their tributaries. A small part of the municipal territory nestles on the slopes of the sweet hills which rise west of the plain.

Those looking for elegant and comfortable accommodation facilities will have the possibility to stay at the beautiful hotels and charming guest houses of the city centre, which are able to suit even the most demanding requirements of different types of tourists. Those interested in spending relaxing holidays in close contact with nature will have the opportunity to stay at the intimate farmhouses which are situated amidst the sweet rolling hills of the surrounding area. Signa's cheap and welcoming bed & breakfasts are situated a short distance from the most important cities of the region, which are easily accessible by both car and train.

Well-known for its strategic position since the Middle Ages, today Signa is an appreciated cultural destination. The highest and most ancient part of the town, which is known as Castello, is surrounded by impressive walls and imposing fourteenth-century gates. It cherishes the most important churches of the surrounding territory, such as Santa Maria in Castello, whose sober stone facade is dominated by an impressive portal featuring splendid neo-Renaissance decorations. The inner single nave cherishes outstanding paintings and ancient altars.
The church of St. John the Baptist, which is situated just in the heart of Piazza Cavour, cherishes the mortal remains of Blessed Giovanna, precious frescoes which depict scenes of her life and an outstanding fifteenth-century marble font. The entrance corridor of the church of St. Lorenzo is dominated by a wonderful fresco which depicts Saint Cristoforo. Next to the church is a 25 metre-high Romanesque bell tower whose highest part is embellished by elegant double lancet windows. Not to be missed is the church of St. Miniato, which contains a big organ dating back to 1795.
