About us

Monte Oliveto Bed and Breakfast is more than just a place to sleep: it’s your home in the heart of Florence. Here you will find a familiar and cosy place in one of the historical quarters of the city: The world coolest San Frediano nighborhood which is in the Oltrarno District.
The District
The district south of the river “Arno” is the ideal place for a walk through alleys, squares and ancient artisan shops still keeping their authentic florentine character. Being so close to the ancient city walls, just one step away from Ponte Vecchio, the Cathedral, Santa Croce church, the Uffizi, Palazzo Pitti , Boboli Garden and all of the most striking spots in Florence, makes San Frediano the favourite quarter for florentines and their guests.
Comfort
Monte Oliveto, a small villa of the early twentieth century, is a quiet place where you can take a break from traffic’s continuous noise and from the frenetic city life. Its fresh and bright rooms overlook a private garden, the comfortable beds and the warm and relaxing colors will make you feel like home. Every morning you will be welcomed by a tasty and generous breakfast, composed of cakes and dishes home made with organic ingredients. In spring and summer you will be able to enjoy excellent breakfasts in our private garden.
And besides...
Donatella, passionate about painting and antiques, has decorated this house richly following her own taste and style, using natural materials and warm, cosy textiles.
