La Casa Rosa del Galluzzo ticks all the boxes.
It is perfectly located on the outskirts of Florence yet still delivers on the Tuscan countryside feel. The walk into the local town of Galluzzo is certainly manageable (we loved the exercise!) and then it’s a short bus ride to all the top attractions in Florence.
Gianni is the most friendly and welcoming host. He kindly picked us up from the bus stop and gave us a detailed overview of the apartment upon arrival plus gave us a gift of homegrown wine & olive oil. Delicious!
We showed interest to see the vineyard and olive trees and were delighted when Gianni gave us a tour of his place. A truly authentic Italian experience and much appreciated after contending with the crowds of tourists and queues in Florence. Thank you Gianni for this personal touch!
The apartment is very well appointed and the hosts have clearly put a lot of thought into ensuring a comfortable stay for their guests. We particularly appreciated the inclusion of a kettle for making tea and coffee maker, and of course the washing machine for catching up on our laundry.
Have I mentioned the gorgeous views yet? To sum it up, even the taxi driver on our last day described Gianni’s place as “Bellissimo!”
