La Fattoressa

This was our first trip to Florence area.
The Fattoressa is conveniently located off the autostrada. Also, it was an easy walk to catch the bus to Florence so we didn’t have to deal with parking.
Unfortunately, when we arrived no one could speak English. Katia had recently had a baby so she was not available to assist with plans so we were on our own. Angiolina did provide a written sheet of information in English about how to find the bus and the down town area of Galuzza.
We were most dissatisfied with the breakfast which consisted of yellow cake with powdered sugar dusting, cold toast, commercial packages of bisquits, tea and coffee. There was no fruit, cereal, or yogurt. (It was the poorest breakfast in the seven B & B’s we stayed in). We had the same fare the three days we were there.
The rooms were adequate but had very limited lighting. The mosquitoes were horrendous so when you opened the patio door, they swarmed the room. When the power shut off, while I was using the hair dryer, Angiolina got right in my face, speaking very loud Italian, and gestured that it was going to cost money to fix it. All that needed to be done was to trip the circuit breaker.
Curiously they never asked for our passports for documentation. (All of the other B & B’s and hotels did.) We wondered why but there was no way to ask.
We would not recommend this as a place to stay.
