LA CASA ROSA BNB, Florence

La Casa Rosa sits on a hill in Galluzzo, a village just 7 km from Piazzale Michelangelo, Pitti Palace, and Strozzi Palace. Florence city centre (Uffizi Gallery, Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore) is a 15-20 minute bus ride away. The bus stop is 800 metres from the B&B - a 10-minute walk downhill. For heavier luggage, the hosts offer to pick guests up from the stop by car. Guests with a car can drive to a free parking area near the bus stop and then take the bus. Nearby restaurants include Fujiyama and Pizzeria I' Canneto (1 km).

Each room is non-smoking and includes a private bathroom, air conditioning (installed in 2025), a work desk, wardrobe, and free toiletries. Views overlook the garden and valley. Rooms are spacious, newly renovated, and kept clean daily with housekeeping included. For light sleepers, the countryside location provides a quiet setting with thick walls that keep heat out. Minimal but modern decor with wooden floors and memory-foam pillows. A shared tea corner is available, though rooms do not have a TV.

Breakfast is included and served as a buffet with vegetarian options: fresh bread, pastries, cheese, fruits, yoghurt, cereals, coffee, tea, and freshly squeezed fruit juice. Homemade cakes and organic eggs are often provided. The property has no restaurant or bar for other meals, but there are several eateries within 1 km, including a pizzeria in Galluzzo and a gelateria. Guests can also walk 10 minutes to Galluzzo for more dining. A shared kitchen is available for preparing simple meals.
