Fantoni brother and sister, have decided to use a part of this family villa, which dates back to the end of the nineteenth century, as a high class Bed and Breakfast. It’s certainly the ideal place for visiting Florence and its surroundings, enjoying an invaluable atmosphere of tranquillity and harmony. Giusy and Antonio offer their guests warmth and spontaneity so that their stay at Villa La Sosta is like a “home away from home”.

The name of this elegant Florentine residence is linked to the road that the gardens look onto: Via Bolognese. It is the oldest postal road crossing the Tuscan Apennines and today gives convenient access to Florence from the most charming residential area around the city. In one direction it leads to the city centre, but in the other, this road, which starts from the ancient gate of S. Gallo at Ponte Rosso.

Villa La Sosta, which in the past was part of a more extensive property on the Montughi hill, is surrounded by large gardens with cypress and fruit trees; the building itself is elegant and sober, enriched by architectural elements recalling the eclectic style of the beginning of the 1900s, like the main bow-window entrance and the tower-mansard which gives a view of the surrounding hillside. 

Giusy and Antonio offer three double rooms, a triple room and a quadruple room, bright and quiet, some of these furnished with period pieces from the 1800s, all with private bathrooms and independent entrance. A comfortable lift will take you up to the windowed-attic where you  can admire a breathtaking view of the surrounding hillside. The continental breakfast is served in the spacious and elegant hall in colder months and in the garden, under an ivy pergola, in the summer. There is also a billiard room and a suggestive and panoramic windowed attic where guests can relax, read, play cards, watch television or listen to music. Private car park inside the grounds. Giusy & Antonio are glad to arrange for their guests a family day in the Chianti Classico region (the wine country).
