We have stayed with Giusy and her brother, Antonio, before.The Villa is a family house and we like the feel of the place. With the secure, offstreet parking, and easy bus ride or walk to the Centro Storico, the location is ideal. During warm weather, you can have breakfast outside under the arbor. The top floor lounge for the guests... More

I stayed few nights at Villa La Sosta during a business trip to Florence. This is the perfect place if you need something more than an Hotel room and you do not want to spend a fortune. The owners are very nice and friendly and at my late arrival the landlady was happy to order a take away for me.... More

Owner was very helpful in regard to restaurants, buses. House is old but well-renovated with distinctively-designed rooms. Sits quietly above noise of downtown Florence. Gathering room for guests on top floor provided a convenient and scenic place to snack and sip wine. We appreciated the air conditioning a very hot September.

We stayed at Villa La Sosta in September and we found the owner to be a very pleasant, informative man. The Villa is safe and the property is private and gated. The bus stop to Florence city center is very conveniently located in front of the property. The location of the B&B is also excellent for day trips to the... More

We stayed at Villa La Sosta for four days of our two week trip to Italy in early July 2011. Our Host Antonio immediately made us feel welcome and comfortable. He provided us with lots of information regarding site seeing and local restaurants. The Villa was located close to the city centre but we did feel far away from the... More

We had a lovely stay in Florence and stayed at Villa La Sosta for 3 nights. Antonio was really helpful in highlighting on the map he provided good places to see and nice places to eat and we followed his advice closely and ate really well the whole time. We quickly got the hang of catching the bus to town... More

A wonderful place to stay. This old Villa has everything. Stay in old fashioned style. The owners cannot do enough to help you. Room even had anti-mossie plugs. Use the bus to get to San Marco square and walk your socks off around Florence from there.

Villa La sosta was a nice place to stay. We stayed only a night before moving onto our pre-booked hotel in the centre of town. Very pretty villa with a lovely garden and nice room with a view. Good continental style breakfast. There's a gorgeous enclosed terrace kind of room with large glass windows. Downside - a bit far from... More

We very much enjoyed our stay at Villa La Sosta. The villa is set on a hill a short distance from central Florence. It is easily walkable, although in the heat it is sometimes better to take the bus. The villa is easy to find and there is safe, free parking available on site. Antonio was very friendly and extremely... More

We had the pleasure of staying at Villa La Sosta for 3 nights while visiting Florence and consider it the most comfortable of all the places we stayed over our 2 week vacation.
