Property Description

Ape Rosa Bed & Breakfast was born in a Florentine villa from the late 18th century, entirely restored during the past two years. The restoration has maintained both structure and atmosphere, but also provided the necessary modernization of the facilities.

Ape Rosa B&B is the ideal choice for businesspeople in need of a bit of relax after a day's stress, and for tired tourists looking for an easy retreat before and after their peregrinations in and around this masterpiece of a city.

Our bedrooms are finely furnished with family furniture and paintings. The beds, though are modern, as well as the air conditioning and the lcd-TVs.

All rooms have their own bathrooms, with shower or bath, and are decorated with hand-painted tiles from Vietri, a city in the South of Italy renowned for its ceramics.
You can sleep in a double, twin, single or triple room; all rooms are on the first and second floor of the villa. Due to its ancient origins, there are no lift facilities.

We provide daily cleaning and a change of linen and towels every three days, daily if necessary.

Children friendly.
