GENERATIONAL HOSPITALITY

VALDIROSE
FLORENCE, ITALY

A well-worn brass door handle that carries the warmth of generations at first touch. Old paths winding through a garden, decades old. A veranda soaked in Tuscan light, filled with the smell of fresh-cut flowers and diligently-made cappuccino. When reflected on, the details of our favorite spaces always move to the forefront of our minds. Though they may not be as sharp or fresh, their weight is tied to a feeling more than the visual. Every time I think of this wonderful space tucked into the hills outside Florence, I think of these details, and I feel the warmth of the most caring and honest hospitality I’ve ever felt.

Born out of love for her childhood home, Irene, her husband, Paulo, and her father, Giovanni, have found a second life for a home that has already lived a thousand of them. Located outside Florence, in the sleepy Tuscan village of Lastra A Signa, this bed and breakfast allows you to experience the stripped-back and simple beauty that Florence has to offer. Come for the stunning villa setting; stay for the charming hospitality of a family that has built something genuinely special over generations. The moment you walk through the door, you feel at home. The thoughtfully decorated rooms, the carefully made breakfast, and the attention, detail, and care that Irene, Paulo, and Giovanni provided throughout your stay top anything you'll experience elsewhere.

With every visit to Florence, there's the temptation to stay in the city. The time saved by not taking the train in and the overall convenience are always discussed. But every single time, the conversation comes back to Valdirose. It really leaves that much of an impression. The people you meet, the bed where you sleep, the food you eat—all the details of your visit add up to an experience you’ll always be trying to relive, but you won’t be able to... until your next visit to Valdirose.
