Sangaggio House B&B

The staff was very friendly, humours and kind. We got a free room upgrade just because the room was free, and the owner thought the other one would be nicer and more convenient for us. The rooms were clean at any time. It's a small family owned B&B with 6 rooms. The breakfast buffet was great aswell and had everything that we needed (Homemade cakes Yummy!,2 kinds of sausage, 2 kinds of cheese, honey, jam, joghurts, tomato mozzarella, olives, 2 kinds of melons cherry's or other kinds of fruits, 2 kinds of juices, diffrent kind of coffee, 2 kinds of bread and a croissant. They will even make you eggs in whatever way you want them fresh in the pan, not like the disgusting scrambled eggs you get in big hotels. You can choose if you want to eat your breakfast inside or on the cute terrace. After talking a while with the owner and telling him what kind of things we like in vacations, he wrote us a list with over 30 places to visit in all of Italy. Which I appreciate a lot. As a small present, we got a picture of the cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore. We felt very welcome at all times. Thank you for your efforts to make it a great stay at your lovely place. To add for the ones reading the reviews, the House is up a hill and the breakfast downstairs. So it's not accessible for people in wheelchairs or people with other walking disabilities.

Wonderful location, up on a hill and easily walkable into the city center - it was super quiet at night, which I appreciated, and the neighborhood is lovely. My room was very comfortable, it was nice to be able to open the windows at night and let the cool air in. Quick walk to Boboli Gardens, the Oltrarno square, and easy to get to the train station on public transit or by foot. The host and his family were so kind - breakfast was lovely: Italian pastry, coffee and fresh fruit (perfect!). It was exactly what I wanted for a couple days in Florence!

This was a very hospitable and clean place to stay. The host is very personable and helpful. The breakfast each morning was very nice. The host fried eggs, and made coffee. There was also an assortment of croissants and other standard breakfast items. To get to the location from the train station we took the 37 blue line bus up the hill to San Gaggio (mascagni) stop. The app is At Bus with an “AT” blue logo. You can select a “Firenze urbano” ticket for €1.50 per ride. Just activate it on the phone at the time of boarding, no need to scan on the bus (only if asked). The same bus goes up the hill. We recommend the mascagni stop just after the hill so you don’t have to hike up. The B&B was a bit outside of the city by about 40-45 minutes walking, but well worth the experience. Each day we left, the host cleaned, fixed the bed, and brought more towels. He also gave his number for any special requests or accommodations you might need. This was an authentic stay and we are really happy with our experience!

The room was spacious and we could easily park outside for a fee (parking meter). Parking is free after 8pm and on Sundays. The host was helpful with organising taxis. It was a 35 minute walk to get to the river and across into the city. Walking isn't a problem but it was very hot and felt like a lot before starting to explore the city. You can get a bus most of the way. I don't think you'd get anywhere with parking much closer to the city.

Beautiful little B&B. Our room was a little slice of Italian paradise. Just what we were looking for. Comfy bed, very clean, everything was working, charming decorations, good air conditioning, and a beautiful view. They had a coffee table right in the room overlooking the view of Florence as if you were at a cafe. Would stay again.
