Rovezzano B&B Florence Italy

Florence's Hidden Gem: Rovezzano B&B - Unforgettable Stay!

Alright, buckle up buttercup, because I just got back from, and immediately need to gush about, Florence's Hidden Gem: Rovezzano B&B! This place… this place, okay? Forget the Duomo for a second. Forget the Uffizi (though, yes, do eventually go). Rovezzano is where your Florentine fantasy truly begins. Seriously, I'm still picturing it, and I’m pretty sure a tiny part of my heart is still there, sipping espresso by the pool.

Accessibility: The First Hurdle, Handled Beautifully

Okay, let's be real. Navigating Florence with mobility issues can be… daunting. Cobblestones and ancient architecture don't always play nice with wheelchairs. BUT, Rovezzano scores BIG points here. They list "Facilities for disabled guests" and the elevator access is a godsend. This isn't some lip-service, either. I saw staff genuinely helping guests requiring extra assistance. Bravo, Rovezzano, BRAVO. (And the non-smoking rooms, by the way, were a breath of fresh air – quite literally).

Cleanliness and Safety: My Anxiety's New Best Friend

Look, post-pandemic, cleanliness is everything. And Rovezzano gets it. The list of precautions is insane in the best way: "Anti-viral cleaning products," "Daily disinfection in common areas," "Rooms sanitized between stays," "Staff trained in safety protocol…" I even saw someone sterilizing equipment! I’m not usually a germaphobe, but it was so reassuring. They really want you to feel safe. They even have "Hand sanitizer" everywhere! You actually feel safe to relax, and honestly, that's priceless.

The Rooms: Sanctuary Found (and Internet Gloriously Available!)

My room? Okay, so I might have wept a little when I saw it. "Air conditioning," "Blackout curtains" (thank GOD for those after all that sun!), "Free Wi-Fi," "Wi-Fi [free]", "Complimentary tea," "Coffee/tea maker" - it's that little stuff that makes a trip. And you know, you gotta check your emails, right? And yes, for my nerdy friends, there's also "Internet access – LAN" if you absolutely need it. There were even "Bathrobes" and "Slippers"! I probably spent more time in those slippers than I did outside the hotel. And the "refrigerator"? Perfect for smuggled-in gelato.

Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: My Waistline's Nemesis

I'm not even going to pretend I wasn't obsessed. Let's be honest: I went for the food. And WOW. They have "Asian cuisine in restaurant" (surprising and delicious!), "Western cuisine in restaurant," "Breakfast [buffet]" (a glorious spread, honestly), "Breakfast service," "A la carte in restaurant", "Coffee/tea in restaurant" (essential!), "Poolside bar" (the only place I did writing my review), "Snack bar", and… okay, I’ll stop. My stomach growled just typing that. The "bottle of water" that arrived every day was the perfect touch! And yes, they offer "Room service [24-hour]". Let's just say my credit card took a beating, but my soul? Rejuvenated.

Things to Do (and Ways to Properly Unwind): Spa-tacular!

Ah, the things to do… or more precisely, the things to NOT do, and just RELAX. First, let's address the elephant in the room: "Pool with view." Seriously, it's gorgeous. I spent hours just… staring. Then, the "Spa." Okay, so, confession: I got the "Body wrap"! It was ridiculous in the best way. I left feeling like I’d been born again. They offer "Massage" and I can only imagine how transcendent that is. There’s a "Fitness center" (which, let’s be honest, I didn't touch), and a "Sauna" and "Steamroom." Basically, prepare for the most delightfully lazy vacation of your life.

The Flaws? (Because Nothing's Ever Perfect)

Alright, let's get real. There were a few tiny, TINY things. The shampoo wasn't the best quality. And the elevators, while they were there, seemed to stop on the wrong floor occasionally. But these are seriously nitpicks. I'm reaching for the negative, because genuinely, I can’t think of much to complain about.

Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Make a Big Difference

This is where Rovezzano truly shines. They have "Concierge" (who booked me a last-minute cooking class when I was having a minor meltdown), "Laundry service," "Dry cleaning," "Daily housekeeping," "Luggage storage"… it’s the little details that make a stay feel seamless. They also have "Currency exchange" and "Cash withdrawal" (which helped me dodge some bank fees).

Now, the Anecdote that Sealed the Deal:

Okay, so picture this: Day three. I was beyond jet-lagged, and my feet were screaming from all the walking. I was in my "bathrobes", about to order room service, when I realized I had a huge stain on my favorite white shirt, that i was planning to wear in my romantic date, but now I had to change the plans.

I called the "concierge" and in a moment of panic/desperation. I explained my situation. They sent someone to pick up my shirt, dropped it to the "laundry service", and had it back to my room, perfectly pressed, in under two hours. And yes, I’m wearing that shirt when I was dining at "Asian cuisine in restaurant". That, my friends, is a level of service I never expected. That is the definition of "unforgettable."

Rovezzano B&B Florence Italy

Okay, buckle up, buttercup, because we're about to dive headfirst into my Rovezzano B&B Florence itinerary, and let me tell you, it's going to be less "clean lines" and more "art-house train wreck." Prepare for the mess, the magic, and the questionable choices all rolled into one glorious, slightly chaotic, experience.

Rovezzano Rumble: My Florentine Fiasco (and hopefully, a little finesse)

Day Zero (Pre-Trip Anxiety & Pasta Dreams)

10:00 PM (GMT -5, because let's be real, transatlantic flights are a time-bending nightmare): Okay, so I have my passport, my debit card, and a growing pile of "just in case" items that would make a survivalist blush. Packing is an art form I have yet to master. Right now, my suitcase looks like a confused closet exploded. Panic level: Mild, fueled by visions of cobblestone streets and real Italian pasta. Is it even possible to eat too much pasta? I'm determined to find out.
11:00 PM (Still GMT -5): Checked my flight details – again. Seriously, what if I miss it? My entire trip, my pasta dreams, my existential search for the perfect gelato…all down the drain. Deep breaths, self. Deep breaths. Google Images: "Florentine leather bags," "Tuscan sunsets," "Venetian canals." I'm spiraling.

Day One (Arrival, Aches, and the Accidental Amore)

7:00 AM (GMT +1, Florence, Italy – Praise be to whoever invented espresso!): Arrived at Rovezzano B&B. The flight? Turbulence. The customs line? Longer than a Tuscan vineyard. The B&B? Charming. Seriously, the woman at the front desk, whose name I immediately forgot, had that effortless Italian chic I will never, ever possess. Plus, the view from my window? Olive trees. Just… olive trees. Worth the jet lag alone.
8:00 AM: Briefly considered giving up on civilization and hiding under the duvet until Easter. However, the promise of breakfast lured me out… I think?
9:00 AM: Breakfast. The buffet was not the best by any means. A basket of plain bread and some questionable yogurt.
10:00 AM: Wandered. Got lost immediately. Which, to be fair, is the point of Florence, right? Found a tiny, unassuming gelateria that served the most outrageous pistachio gelato I've ever tasted. My tastebuds had a religious experience. Tried to order a second cone, but the server, a guy with a charmingly crooked smile, just chuckled and gave me an extra scoop. Accidental amore? Maybe. Probably. Definitely gelato-induced.
1:00 PM: Attempted to visit the Uffizi Gallery. Epic fail. The line was a human snake that seemed to stretch into infinity. Decided to embrace the chaos and explore, instead. Found a hidden piazza with a water fountain, sat down, and sketched. My artistic skills are questionable, but the serenity was undeniable.
3:00 PM: Lunch. Found a trattoria tucked away on a side street. Ordered the ribollita soup. It's basically a Tuscan hug in a bowl. Seriously, I'm considering relocating here permanently for the food alone.
5:00 PM: The Duomo. Absolutely breathtaking. The sheer scale of it… the detail…it's overwhelming. Had a moment of genuine awe. And then I saw the line to climb to the top of the dome. Nope. Maybe tomorrow, when I'm feeling less like a sweaty tourist.
7:00 PM: Another Gelato, this time in a different establishment. Went for a very uninspired Mango.
8:00 PM: Dinner. Okay, I'm going back to that trattoria. The ribollita was calling my name. And maybe I'll try the bistecca alla fiorentina tonight. Don't judge me. I'm on vacation.
10:00 PM: Collapsed into bed. Jet lag is kicking in. But my heart is full, my stomach is happy, and my feet are throbbing. Day one: A win. (Except for the Uffizi. Still bitter.)

Day Two (Art, Altitude, and the Aperitivo Apology)

9:00 AM: Attempted to visit the Uffizi Gallery. Decided to try this time and was met with the same lines.
10:00 AM: Instead, went to the Galleria dell'Accademia. Saw David. He's… impressive. Really, really impressive. He's also surprisingly small in person. I expected him to tower over me. (Note to self: Brush up on your art history. Apparently, this is a sculpture.)
12:00 PM: Climbed the Duomo. Worth the climb. The views from the top are spectacular. Florence spread out before me like a painting. My legs, however, felt like they'd been through a marathon. Worth it.
2:00 PM: Lunch. Finally got that bistecca alla fiorentina. It was… transcendent. A perfect sear, melt-in-your-mouth tenderness, and a flavor that exploded in my mouth. I may or may not have almost licked the plate clean. Don't judge me.
4:00 PM: Attempted an Aperitivo. Accidentally stumbled into a bar that was way more chic than I am. Order a Spritz. Tried to look sophisticated. Spilled half of it down my front. Mortification. Apologized profusely to a woman with the most incredible earrings I've ever seen. She just laughed and said, "It happens." Turns out, she's a fashion designer. Florence is judging me.
6:00 PM: Found an actual, non-intimidating bar. Managed to order a drink without incident. Watched the sunset over the Arno River. Florence is… beautiful.
8:00 PM: Dinner. Decided to be practical and opted for a Pizza, as well as a local beer.
10:00 PM: Back to the B&B. My legs are killing me, I'm sunburnt, and I'm pretty sure I've gained five pounds. But I wouldn't trade this day for anything.

Day Three (Leather Dreams and Lost in Translation)

9:00 AM: Leather Market. Wandered through the stalls, overwhelmed by the sheer volume of leather goods. (Note to self: learn how to haggle. Seriously)
11:00 AM: Found a beautiful leather jacket. Tried it on. Fell in love. Paid way more than I should have. Worth it.
12:00 PM: Lunch. Tried to order pasta with truffle oil. Said, "Truffle oil pasta, please" in what I thought was perfect Italian. Got a plate of something that looked vaguely like pasta and a suspicious oil. Turns out, I'd accidentally asked for "toilet cleaner pasta." Mortification. Again. The kind waiter looked so surprised.
1:00 PM: A few moments of self-pity. Why does every seemingly easy task seem to go so wrong?
2:00 PM: Decided to embrace the chaos and headed out to search for Gelato.
4:00 PM: Finally found the perfect Gelato place.
6:00 PM: Tried a cooking class, my final act of desperation. Got told off for putting too much salt.
8:00 PM: Dinner. Back at the same Trattoria, the waiter smiled and I felt instantly relieved and safe. The Ribollita was perfect.
10:00 PM: Flight preparations.

Day Four (Departure Day… and a promise to return)

7:00 AM: Coffee. One last time.
8:00 AM: Check out of the B&B. Said goodbye to the B&B owner who remembered me.
9:00 AM: Taxi to airport.
10:00 AM: Departure.

Final Thoughts:

Florence, you beautiful, chaotic, slightly terrifying masterpiece. You tested me. You humbled me. You fed me. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Rovezzano B&B Florence Italy

Rovezzano B&B: Is it REALLY a "Hidden Gem"? (Spoiler: Mostly Yes, But Let's Talk About It)

Okay, spill. Is Rovezzano B&B actually as amazing as all the reviews say? Like, unicorn-level amazing?

Alright, alright, settle down, you eager beavers! Look, "amazing" is a subjective beast, right? I went in expecting… well, I expected a nice place, clean sheets, the usual. What I got was… something else. Let's just say, it wasn't always rainbows and butterflies. Like, first, finding the place. Google Maps tried to send me down a goat path. A *goat path*! I swear, if I hadn’t texted the owner (who, bless her heart, saved my stressed-out soul), I’d still be stuck there, arguing with a bewildered donkey. But the *view*… holy cannoli. You see Florence spread out before you like a perfectly baked pizza (don't tell the Italians I said that!). So, yeah. Unicorns? Maybe not. But close. VERY close. And the breakfast... Oh, the breakfast. But hold on, we'll get to that.

What's the "vibe" like? Is it all perfectly manicured Tuscan charm, or a bit… real?

"Perfectly manicured" it ain't. Thank GOD. Look, I’m allergic to perfectly manicured. It’s the kind of place that *feels* lived in, you know? Like, the kind of place where the owner, let’s call her (because I've forgotten her name and am too lazy to look it up) Maria, probably knows all the best limoncello recipes. There's a garden, a *real* garden, not one of those stuffy Hotel gardens. It’s filled with mismatched chairs, and the occasional rogue tomato plant. My room? Charming. Slightly wonky walls? Check. A creaky floorboard that threatened to swallow me whole at 3 am? Absolutely. (I think it may have, actually). Real? Oh, very real. And that’s what makes it… well, what makes it. You feel like you're visiting *someone's* home, not just checking into a hotel. I swear, there were little hand-written notes EVERYWHERE – 'Enjoy the wine!' 'Have a lovely day!' -- it felt ridiculously personal.. Almost suspiciously so. Like, "are you guys watching me?"

About that breakfast… everyone raves. Is it worth the hype? (And please, be honest. I'm tired of hotel buffets.)

Okay. Deep breath. The breakfast. This is where things get… intense. Hotel buffets? Those soulless wasteland's of stale croissants? Forget about them. Maria (still using that name) is a breakfast *ninja*. Freshly squeezed orange juice that tastes like pure sunshine? Check. Homemade jams that’ll make you want to lick the jar clean? Double check. Freshly baked bread so good, I almost cried. Seriously. I nearly had a full-blown emotional breakdown over a slice of toast. The eggs? Perfect, every single time. And the coffee... Oh, the coffee. Strong enough to wake the dead (and probably did, given how early she was up, rustling around) and so good. But here’s the thing: It's not just about the food. It's about the atmosphere. You're sitting outside, surrounded by olive trees, listening to birds singing, and eating the best breakfast of your LIFE. And that, my friends, is priceless. One morning, I almost missed a cooking class I had scheduled because I didn't want to leave that table. True story.

How easy is it to get into Florence from the B&B? I don't want to spend my whole trip stuck in traffic.

Okay, so this isn’t *perfect*. It's not smack-dab in the middle of the city, obviously. But it's close enough, and it's a trade-off you *absolutely* make for the views, peace, and sanity. You can either take the bus (which is easy, and cheap, and a pretty scenic ride), or you can do what I did, which is rent a scooter and pretend you’re Audrey Hepburn in *Roman Holiday*. (Highly recommend. Just, you know, wear a helmet. And maybe take some lessons first if you're anything like me and never ridden one before. That was *not* my finest hour. My first time ever on a scooter trying to navigate cobblestones was an adventure, I’ll just say that much.) The bus, though, is the sensible option. It's frequent, it's reliable, and the drivers are generally more patient with tourists than I am. Just factor in a bit of travel time (maybe 20-30 minutes) and you're laughing. And don’t forget to ask when you check in, because I spent a very long time staring at a bus stop trying to figure out which bus to take.

Any downsides? Anything to be aware of before I book? (Don't sugarcoat it!)

Alright, time for honesty hour. Because, yeah, nothing's *perfect*. First, the location, as mentioned. It’s not *in* the city center. So, if you’re the type who needs to be able to stumble out of your hotel and straight into the Uffizi Gallery at 8 am, this probably isn't for you. Second, (and this is a small gripe, but a gripe nonetheless) the Wi-Fi wasn't the strongest. Look, I understand – I'm on holiday. But I also like to occasionally check Instagram/stalk my ex/etc. And there were times I was wrestling with the internet like it was a rebellious toddler. Finally, the creaky floors. I already told you, they scared me. Sometimes, at night, it sounded like the ghosts of past guests were having a party in the hallway. But… Honestly? These are really minor things. I’d take creaky floors and dodgy Wi-Fi over a sterile, soul-sucking chain hotel any day. (I mean, I probably would. But maybe bring earplugs, just in case.)

Would you go back? And, more importantly, should I go?

Would I go back? In a heartbeat. Absolutely. I’m already plotting my return. That breakfast alone... oh, my stomach is growling just thinking about it. Should *you* go? If you’re looking for a truly authentic, charming, and memorable experience… absolutely, yes. If you want a place with personality, with a soul, a place that feels like a home away from home... do it. If you want a polished, perfect hotel… well, look elsewhere. But you'd be missing out. I’m just saying. And bring me back some of those figs from the garden. Please.
