Villa La Sosta
"Villa La Sosta" is situated in the most charming residential area around Florence. It is surrounded by large gardens with cypress and fruit trees; the building itself is elegant and sober, enriched by architectural elements recalling the eclectic style of the beginning of the 1900s, like the main bow-window entrance and the tower-mansard which gives a view of the surrounding hillside. Fantoni brother and sister, have decided to use a part of this family villa, which dates back to the end of the nineteenth century, as a high class Bed and Breakfast. They offer three double rooms, a triple room, a quadruple room (family room) all with private bathrooms, bright and quiet, some of these furnished with period pieces from the 1800s. Independent entrance. The continental breakfast is served in the spacious and elegant hall in colder months and in the garden, under an ivy pergola, in the summer. There is also a billiard room and a suggestive and panoramic windowed attic where guests can relax, read, play cards, watch television or listen to music. Guests can also make use of an internet service (adsl 24 hours) inside the house. Private car park is available inside the grounds. Bookings for the Uffizi Gallery, Accademy Gallery and Palatina Gallery made free of charge. Informed suggestions on what to see and do in and around Florence. We are glad to arrange for our guests a family day in the wine country (see our specials). Villa La Sosta is certainly the ideal place for visiting Florence and its surroundings, enjoying an invaluable atmosphere of tranquillity and harmony. Giusy and Antonio offer their guests warmth and spontaneity so that their stay at Villa La Sosta is like a "home away from home".
