The historical Palace Palazzo Galletti B and B is located on Via S. Egidio, a mere ten minute walk from the Duomo and the S. Croce Church. It is also in the proximity of the famous theatres La Pergola and Verdi. On entering the reception area, on the first floor, one is immediately plunged into a sensation of antiquity and freshness that mark this ambience as an unusual private living quarter. Recently restored this building has been a sleeping giant that has been newly awakened in all of its honour. Beautiful frescos have been found in these abandoned walls brought to life with an entire school of restorers to allow our guests to taste and feel for themselves the beauty the centuries have left behind in this Palace. The young owners, who run the B and B, have paid meticulous attention to details, giving life to an unusual yet elegant blend of classical and ethnic styles. The nine beautiful and spacious rooms, paved in original terra cotta tiling and painted frescos walls, are named after the planets in the solar system and consequently the roman gods: Mercury, Venus, Cerere identified with the Earth, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune, Uranus and Pluto. The furnishings chosen have made every room unique in its atmosphere. Every bedroom has the highest standard and includes a king-size bed, air conditioning, soundproof walls, flat-screen TV, direct internet access, a minibar and a personal safe. Every bedroom opens onto a private and very quiet balcony, allowing for a truly relaxing moment from the exiting Florentine streets. The true history of this palace comes through in the magical hours of your mornings. The 1550 kitchen with its wide-low hooded sink and its vaulted ceilings, where breakfast is served, gives one the impression of experiencing the past.
