It is a beautiful building with a pleasant host

Everything. One of our best accomodation experience.

“I would stay again they made you feel like a friend, nothing was to much trouble.”

the property was historically beautiful, nature all around you, warm and friendly hosts, very interesting decor, very creative and artist, loved being in nature while so close to the city, highly recommended, the hosts couldn't have been more attentive.

We very much enjoyed our stay and Cosimo and Antonella are super hosts, we found our home away from home in Florence!

“Ok”

Lovely breakfast, good quality bed linen , comfortable bed

“Familia, traditione, tuto bene Cosimo”

It is not a Hotel or Pension, it is family

“It was a memorable and very good experience.”

The breakfast was excellent and personally prepared by the owner. He also went out of his way to drive us to the tram stop when we were carrying our bags after checking out. The house and the grounds were beautiful and had an interesting history.

“I will remeber that breakfast for the rest of my life. The best omlette in Italy!”

The atmosphere of living in lovcal’s house. Amazing breakfast set for us in private room.

“Historical gem on the hills of Florence”

It was pure perfection- location, breakfast and accomodation in a house with such long history. It was clean, quiet and serene. Like we were transported in some other period in time. Mr. Cosimo is a great man and a great host, it was an honour to meet and speak with him.

The location, out of the city, yet a short journey into the city by car. Cosimo was very helpful providing information on accessing the city by car and tram, parking areas, good restaurants and gelataria Lovely building, quiet, and great breakfast.

“Lovely, quiet location with great breakfast. You need a car”

Beautiful setting in the countryside. Very peaceful. Lovely host and great breakfast! Good parking

“A Peaceful Florentine Escape with Exceptional Hosts”

Antonella and Cosimo were truly wonderful hosts during our stay with them just outside Florence. Their home was a peaceful haven, a beautiful escape from the bustle of the city. Our room was lovely, the setting serene, and the house itself is stunning, filled with fabulous artwork. Cosimo prepared delicious breakfasts each morning and was such an interesting person to talk to, sharing stories about his own life, his creative work, and his father’s artistic legacy. Getting into Florence was very straightforward just a short drive to a nearby car park right by the tram station. One tip: make sure to download the relevant parking app in advance, while you have internet access, as we found it confusing to pay on-site and it doesn’t accept cash. If you’re unsure which app to use, Cosimo can guide you. This was the perfect place to enjoy the best of both worlds, easy access to the city, with a peaceful retreat to return to at the end of the day. Highly recommended.

“A beautiful old plsce in the country nearby firenze”

Dear Cosimo, Thank you for your great hospitality. You make us feel at home

We really enjoyed the stay. Beautiful place, cosy and clean room and really nice breakfast with hot chocolate prepared for my son. Monasteraccio had a country-life feeling, but it was close to the city centre. Thank you for making the trip lovely.

“Excellent authentic experience”

The best booking stay I’ve ever experienced, very atmospheric and historic place. Founded in 14 century as a monastery, this used to be Medici land. A lot of beautiful paintings in the house, the location is a bit outside of Florence, but perfect with a car. Strongly recommend

Very nice and quite location

Beautiful and quiet location, away from the city center. However, city center ia also easy enough to reach with public transport. We also had a large, spacious bedroom and a small, but very functional bathroom and we also enjoyed our freshly made/baked breakfast. Cosimo is a great host.

“Unforgettable and warm experience, highly recommended”

The house is located on a hillside, overlooking Florence, with beautiful scenery, which fulfilled my dream of experiencing Italian rural life. The house is decorated with artistic sense, with paintings and carvings everywhere, and the layout is warm and comfortable. The host is warm and hospitable, allowing us to spend a very wonderful three nights, which is an unforgettable memory. Highly recommended!

“Lovely location”

We really liked the location; away from the hustle and bustle of Florence and very peaceful. Cosimo is a great host and was very helpful when we needed to get to the rail station in heavy rain. Breakfast was very good. Whilst it might be easier to get to and from Il Monasteraccio by car, we used the bus and tram very successfully.

“Would definitively come back”

Reviews are true. A great place to spend a few nights. Good breakfast, great coffee.
