Villa La Sosta

Tucked in a leafy Florence residential quarter (Careggi Rifredi), this high-class bed and breakfast sits in a 19th-century villa about 3 km from the historic center. It’s roughly a 10-minute drive to Fortezza da Basso and the Gallery of the Academy, and within easy reach of the Duomo, Piazza del Duomo, Medici Chapels and Ponte Vecchio.

Villa La Sosta lives in a restored villa surrounded by gardens and calm. There are five individually furnished, air-conditioned rooms with private bathrooms—bathtubs or rainfall showerheads—plus desks, coffee/tea makers and daily housekeeping. Take in city views from the rooftop terrace or linger in the on-site library; an elevator makes the house accessible.

Rooftop terrace and a peaceful garden set the mood. On-site perks include free self-parking, a library, concierge and wedding services, a television in a common area, and a tour desk to book local excursions. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi and a computer station for quick work checks. Luggage storage, express check-out and concierge/tour assistance make short stays smooth. Free self-parking is available onsite.

Start with a complimentary continental breakfast each morning. There’s an on-site coffee shop/café and a snack bar/deli for light bites, while rooms include coffee and tea facilities for early risers.
