    Our Bed & Breakfast is a stone villa immersed in a peaceful and quiet setting surrounded by the green of its garden with pine trees, cypresses and olive groves and is only 9 km from Florence and 4 km from Fiesole. The ancient home has fully maintained all the characteristics of the country house, hence residing here one has the feeling of being in a very familiar and cosy environment. The house is composed of five double bedrooms all with private bathroom, each with its own particular feature and furnished with utmost care and elegance. From each room and from the terrace ( 200 mq ) one may delight in the enchanting views of Florence and Fiesole. The large living room with its fireplace, piano, and a big library section are all at the guests’ disposal. During the warmest months one may choose to have breakfast served in the “ allori garden “ or on the panoramic terrace.Our guests can enjoy our beautiful SWIMMING POOL with a scenic view over the hills of Fiesole and Florence. From the Bed & Breakfast it is easy to reach the centre of both Florence and Fiesole thanks to the city bus lines only 100 mt from the house. In the summer evenings it’s quite enjoyable to dine outside with a typical Tuscan menu served with a good bottle of Chianti wine and to watch the lovely view of the sun setting on the city of Florence. Private parking place is available inside the grounds. Bookings for the Uffizi Gallery, Accademy Gallery and Palatina Gallery made free of charge. SUGGESTED:Relax and visit the city, enjoy the nature just outside the centre in a small charming village. Antonella and Paolo look forward to welcoming you for a pleasant and quite stay in the hills of Florence.

    This was the highlight of our 10 day trip to Italy. While we enjoyed Rome and Venice, La Paggeria was quaint and relaxing. The view is remarkable, the rooms perfect and the food was the best we had in Italy (and we never had a bad meal). Paolo is an excellent chef! If you stay, you must sign up for dinner, it's well worth it.
