General Information

Il Palagetto is found in the center of Florence, in Oltrarno, neighboring to one of the majority distinctive and characteristic zones in the historical centre, that of San Frediano. The Santa Maria Novella railway station is an simple fifteen-minute stroll (ten mins by bus) from the cottage. From there, all of the majority essential memorials and sights of the town are only a short and excellent stroll away. La Fortezza da Basso and Stazione Leopolda (where plenty of festivals and fairs are often held) are in close proximity, and are easily accessible in several mins by cab or auto from Il Palagetto. Even though our hotel is situated un the centre - close to the mountains of Monte Oliveto - it's conveniently tucked away from the traffic and boulevard hubbub, overlooking an old-time, characteristic Florentine st, and bordering a garden with a surrounding bungalow that was once owned by nobility. Il Palagetto Guest House was once the home of a exclusive family in the 600s, and was at one time a part of the agricultural property of the Olivetani fathers (of the surrounding convent of Monte Oliveto) outside the town gates. It was changed into a little residence in the 19th century. A confidential parking is included for the exclusivistic use of our dear guests. There are 5 big bedrooms attainable to our dear guests, some with individual bathroom, and others that share a communal bathroom. All of our rooms are laid with stone fired or wooden floors, equipped in old Florentine fashion, and have oriental rugs, special draperies, an Lcd colour television with satellite, and an news corner with brochures, treveller maps, etc.
