Karen's Review Of
La Fattoressa:
On the extreme outskirts of Florence, the Fattoressa offers a location for dual exploration of both the city and the Tuscan countryside. One of the many marvelous attractions of Florence is how the countryside comes right up to the doors of the city and just behind the magnificent Certosa monastery you find the 15th-century stone farmhouse of the delightfully congenial Fusi-Borgioli family. They have transformed the farmer’s quarters into guest accommodations: four sweetly simple bedrooms plus two triples, each with its own spotless bathroom. Angiolina and Amelio, who have tended to this piece of land for many years, treat their guests like family and, as a result, enjoy receiving some of them year after year. Daughters-in-law Laura and Katia, who speak English, have been a great help in assisting guests with local itineraries. Visitors take meals “en famille” at long tables in the cozy, rustic dining room with a large stone fireplace (€25-€28 for dinner). Here Angiolina proudly serves authentic Florentine specialties using ingredients from her own fruit orchard and vegetable garden.

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.
