Description
Casa del Giramondo (The Globetrotter House) has two double bedrooms, the Red Room and the Blue Room, both with private bathroom, heating, air conditioning, TV, wi-fi internet, electric kettle, towels, soaps, hairdryer and minibar. Breakfast is included in the price.

The B&B is located in the south-west of Florence, on via di Scandicci, below the Marignolle hills, 13 minutes far from the historic center by tramway, 10 minutes far on foot from the New Hospital of San Giovanni di Dio and the Rehabiliation Center Don Gnocchi and just 2 km far from the Visarno Arena and Cascine Park, inside Florence, where every year during summer it takes place the “Firenze Rocks” Festival.

The area is well served by public transports (Tramway stop is Arcipressi or Bus n. 6 stops is Scandicci 3-4), and offers lots of restaurants and supermarkets.

We are sorry but the structure is not suitable for hosting pets.

Also in the house lives an old cat, who is the queen of the house!

Hey from Rossella

Member since July 2021 | 12,476 hits
Hi, I'm Rossella! For 10 years I have been managing Casa del Giramondo, my small B&B in Florence. I undertook this adventure in hospitality to grow and have the opportunity to meet a thousand people from all over the world, with their culture and traditions, and it always enriches me every time I welcome new guests. I always try to give my best in my work, with professionalism and kindness, and to convey a bit of my Florentine spirit and my passion for art, nature and beauty in the world. I enjoy dabbling in pastry, which I offer for breakfast to my guests. I like to be helpful so that your experience in Florence is unforgettable!
Note: I live with a 17 year old cat, so I can't host people with allergies or people who have problems living around cats.

We stayed for 4 days as a couple and we loved it. The room is clean and well maintained, the place is quiet and the tram station is only a 5-minute walk away. Our host was very caring with us and gave us some extra tips on places to visit. The breakfasts were quite generous and once again we were delighted. We highly recommend it.

The whole establishment is very clean and neat. It is conveniently located a short tram ride away from the S.M. Novella train station and Centro Storico. I was also able to find my way back by bus fairly easily each evening from wherever I ended up during my daily explorations of Florence. Rossella clearly enjoys hosting her guests and we had interesting conversations each morning over the lovely breakfasts that she had prepared. And to top it all off, she even helped me improve my less-than-perfect Italian language skills and provided some excellent suggestions on worthwhile ways to spend my time in Florence. I would definitely stay there again during future trips.

Rosella was a tremendous host, I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a comfortable stay away from the crowds while in Florence. The room was impeccably tidy, and had everything we needed for our 3 day stay. Rosella was super helpful with giving us recommendations for things to see and places to eat in the area. She even prepared a lovely breakfast for us each morning. She also has an adorable cat.

I was somewhat skeptical reading so many positive reviews... and after our experience, I must say that this place is everything that was mentioned and more! The distance to the center is not a problem at all, on the contrary, the tram passes very frequently and arrives in 12 minutes, the cleanliness is excellent! Absolutely remarkable, I consider myself very demanding on this point and this place has far exceeded my standards; the comfort of the bed and the tranquility of the place make rest (very necessary after so much walking) extremely comfortable, and as if all this were not enough... there's Rosella, she has a way of offering herself and making you feel at home, with her chats and her breakfasts with homemade food... please, what exquisite breakfasts! Without a doubt, our time in Florence would not have been so special without her presence. Grateful and blessed to have found you! We recommend you and hope to come back soon! Thank you for everything.

With my husband and our 2 daughters we were guests of Casa del Giramondo B&B for a short weekend getaway. The first feeling was that of feeling at home, starting from the welcome and finally with the delightful availability of the landlady, always attentive to every detail. The b&b's location is optimal for quickly reaching the city center by tram, the neighborhood is very nice and quiet, with easy parking. The rooms are comfortable and clean, the breakfast is fantastic and varied. Experience to be repeated and recommended.

Rossella was a wonderful host! She was very helpful, her breakfasts were amazing and so were all the conversations we had. The room was great and we were well catered for. The location is great as it was a quick tram ride (or a nice walk) into the center. Would 100% stay again. She was definitely a big plus to our stay in Florence and we'll remember it well.

The answer from the host:
Onestamente rimango molto stupita e profondamente delusa di queste sue valutazioni, oltre la recensione scritta con tale sufficienza e del suo comportamento scorretto, visto che durante il soggiorno lei e la sua famiglia siete stati lauti di complimenti per la comodità della camera dedicata ai disabili, motivo per cui ha scelto la mia struttura e che non si degna neanche di menzionare, per la vicinanza al centro tramite la funzionale tramvia a 5 minuti dalla struttura e per l'abbondante colazione dolce e salata (cheesecake, clafoutis di ricotta, strudel di pere e cioccolato, tiramisù alla crema, affettati, wurstel arrostisti, formaggi, crostini e bruschette, nonchè croissant, biscotti, succhi di frutta vari e cappuccino), che vi ho preparato personalmente ogni mattina e che avete puntualmente divorato. Oltretutto mi ha pure lasciato un pensiero di soddisfazione sul guestbook della casa, che recita testualmente "4 giorni passati bene come a casa. Belle camere pulite e silenziose. Grazie di tutto." Mi rincresce ma non posso dire altrettante grazie a lei. Le auguro di trovarsi meglio in una diversa struttura qualora tornasse a Firenze. Cordiali Saluti

The location is perfect, very close, I could even walk there or use the Don Gnocchi parking lot, convenient and even closer. Breakfast is included, but I cannot judge it because I had different schedules.

Rosella is so nice and welcoming that we were sad when we left. She speaks perfect English and helped us with everything we needed. And the price is the best in the city! The only con is that you need to take a tram or bus to the city center, but it costs 1.5€ and runs pretty frequently.

Difficile rispondere ad una valutazione senza una recensione motivata. Posso dire che la signora ha ammesso di aver fatto un errore nella valutazione della pulizia e di essersene accorta successivamente, dopo che le ho chiesto spiegazioni di un tale voto basso. Del resto le altre recensioni raccontano tutt'altra storia su come tratto i miei clienti e curo la mia struttura.
