Villa La Sosta is conveniently located close to town but just far enough away up into the foothills to not be among the hustle and bustle. Walk to restaurants and bus it back up the hill as it drops you outside the gate. Our two boys, 6 and 8 liked the calmness of the common room upstairs so much they... More

Thank you once again for having us. This is such a beautiful haven away from the chaos of central Florence and the hordes of people. Everyone will love it here. The restaurant at the bottom of the hill was great too. They were happy to make a booking at THe Uffizi too. Also gave us advice on how to get... More

A ten-minute walk north of Piazza della Liberta, Villa la Sosta is a massive, sprawling old mansion situated just high enough up Florence’s northern slope to offer lovely views over the city. The rooms are large if simple, and Antonio’s friendly manner, the Villa’s peaceful energy, and the incredible price more than make up for the lack of modern style.... More

We had a great time in Villa La Sosta. Just to say that finally we stayed more than expected. Antonio and Giusy are amazing persons. The rooms are clean and well equiped. Location is near by bus, outside busy traffic and with parking. Breakfast also very good, thanks Antonio for thé "capuccione"!

Beautiful House and our room was antique and well decorated. Antonio is a graceful host and takes care of the guests personally with Breakfast ( he personally makes your coffee). Gave us good recommendations for Restaurants to visit. Not far from the city, still peaceful and quiet as it is just in the border of city centre.

We loved this place! Antonio was a great and welcoming host. We were greeted and given a tour of the house, which is beautiful and quirky - exactly what we were hoping for. He gave us a map with the route to town and some great restaurant recommendations which we used and also loved. Our room was great, quite shabby... More

Along with friends we travelled the West Coast of Italy by car and Florence were our last stop. Our criteria when we looked at accommodation for Florence was somewhere where we could park our car, be close to town and still have decent rooms and a breakfast. Well, Villa La Sosta exceeded our expectations and was absolutely perfect! The rooms... More

We stayed for 2 night at this place. Here you get the true B&B experience since you stay in a villa with the owner and eat together at a big breakfast table (or in the garden). You have to like this type of style otherwise you will be unhappy! Locationwise it is about a 20 min walk to the center... More
