“Absolutely perfect!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 November 2009

We spent three nights at Via I Giullari during our stay in Italy. It was exactly what we were looking for in a B&B - quiet location, fantastic views, well-appointed bath, a sense fof privacy, and a great hostess. The breakfast was well-executed european fare - a selection of Italian hams and cheeses, brioche, cerals, fresh fruits, breads. We were lucky enough to be one of only two couples in the B&B when we were there. I can't say enough about our hostess; she was accomodating, helpful, and gave us great tips for local restaurants and destinations.

One thing to point out is that this B&B is not in Firenze proper, but is just outside the city on the hillside. You can walk into town or to some of the nearby restaurants, but you should probably plan to use taxis or the bus for most travel into the city. Walking down the hill into town is a fine 15-20 minute stroll; coming back up the hill with shopping bags or just tired after a day of sight-seeing may be more than you want to attempt. The good news is that the bus stop is literally only 25 yards from the property entrance. We found this to be a fair trade for the quality of the property and lack of city noise.

When we go back to Italy, we will stay here again. We wouldn't even consider another location in Firenze.

“I very beautiful and romantic place to Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2009

We stayed here for 3 nights and had a fantastic time. The hotel was beautiful and in a lovely setting with wonderful views. The hotel staff were very accommodating, and the breakfast was lovely.
It was a a 20 minute walk into Florence and the walk is well worth doing as its very picturesque.

“Fabulous doesn't do this place justise!!!!!!!!!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2009

We stayed here for 3 nights...wasn't near long enough. Would definitely return. Loved the country ambience, though was close to Florence central by taxi or bus. Guidetta and her husband were great... made reservations, called taxis for us. She made delicious fruit tarts for the incredible breakfasts. I am disabled and was unable to ascend stairs to breakfast, so they kindly delivered a large tray each morning. Ground floor apartment was delightfully furnished, cozy with sunny patios with gorgeous views. Loved, loved, loved it all!!

“A peaceful retreat near Florence”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2009

Villa a Giullari is a wonderful place to stay when you want to be near Florence and in the countryside at the same time. With it's views into the olive-covered hills and its extremely hospitable hosts, one could hardly find a nicer place to stay. The breakfast is generous and fresh and coffee with milk is available (for those who don't want to start their day with a high-wattage Italian espresso). It is true that it is not a 15 minute walk to the city, however this is well made up for by the friendliness of the staff and the comfort and beauty of the rooms.

“silent place in hectic florence”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 October 2009

A very nice B&B (or call it a hotel with just breakfast) just outside historical Florence. Nice (recently renovated) rooms in a quiet surrounding, it's nice to wake up and have a view over the Tuscany hills... Very friendly staff (lovely Erika) with good advice (reserved for us a sublime restaurant (Cibrèo - you have to go there !!!), calling for a taxi, maps of Florence...) and everything with a smile! It takes a 20minutes walk to the Ponte Vecchio, or just take a taxi for 10€). Only minor point is that our room was not completely sound proof, we somethimes had noice from the neighbour room, but not in a disturbing way.
