A few summers ago, Per and I went to Florence, Italy for a long weekend. We searched high and low for somewhere beautiful to stay but never really came up trumps. I wish we’d known about this family run Bed & Breakfast. Dating back to the mid 19th century, Valdirose is located in the hills of Lastra a Signa, around 14 km from the centre of Florence. In 2007, Irene Berni completely revamped the family home and transformed into a dreamy B&B. Today, Valdirose promises to be a perfect stay for anyone who loves to surround themselves with antiques, family memories, soft colours and beautiful details. Let’s take a peek inside…
I love how Valdirose is family-run in every sense:
“I cannot talk about my family, only describe the flavour: of brandy to my father who awaits the return of the guests….the pride of my husband with his shaky English, of freshly baked cake behind which hides my Mother, shy as a child, and finally wildflowers, my favourite, the daily gift I get from my daughter.”
Valdirose has four double rooms or a family room with a double and single room connected. I particularly love the look of Orizzonti! Every room is different but still in keeping with the understated earthy look of the residence with its soothing cream, chestnut and cappuccino shades.
These sheer curtains are so pretty, I can imagine them billowing in the breeze. You buy similar made to measure ones on Etsy here*. This curtain with a powder hue and ruffles* is also really pretty!
Isn’t it beautiful?
I think a return trip to Florence might be in order. It’s such a romantic city! Have been?
You can book your stay at Valdirose here.
Looking for other lovely places to stay in Europe? Here’s a small selection of my favourites:
And if you’re heading my way – how about one of these 20 instagrammable places to stay in Sweden!
