Sehr zuvorkommendes hilfsbereites Personal. Tolle einmalige Lage. Super war auch die Atmosphäre. Die Belüftung der Schlafgelegenheiten sollte auch optimiert werden. Die Beschilderung bei der Anfahrt war nicht so gut.Parkplatz war auch nicht optimal, aber nicht so wichtig.

Getting to us

Getting to us

Bus
If you’re arriving by train you’ll have to take one bus to reach our hostel. Follow these steps to make the journey to our hostel easier :) 1) At first you have to reach Piazza Indipendenza (to take bus nr. 23B). Once you arrive at Santa Maria Novella train station take the exit on your left. You can reach on foot Piazza Indipendenza in 5 - 10 minutes. 2) From Piazza Indipendenza take bus Nr. 23B (in direction to Croce a Varliano) and get off at the last bus stop “Croce a Varliano”. This bus journey will take up to 35 minutes. 3) You have almost made it to our hostel now! From this bus stop you have to walk up the steep hill for about 20 minutes (around 1 km) and you will be rewarded with amazing views from our hostel:-) Alternatively you can wait for bus Nr. 24 from ‘La Fonte’ bus stop (located a few meters away) and get off at the next bus stop ‘Roma 21’ however this will help only to save a couple of minutes of walking and in most cases it is worth to skip this option to get to our hostel much quicker.
Taxi
There are 2 Taxi companies in Bagno a Ripoli area. For booking a taxi call one of the following numbers: 0554242 0554390 If you travel from the center of Florence you will find also many other options.
Car
From the South or from the North: take the Highway A1 exit ‘Firenze Sud’. Continue along the SP 127 towards Firenze and take the exit of Bagno a Ripoli. Follow the main road for about 3km from this little town heading in the direction of Bigallo (brown turistic roadsigns).
