This elegant and well-maintained structure underwent a complete renovation less than 10 years ago and is located in a splendid farmhouse that was once the "farmer's house" of the majestic Villa Incontri, built in 1500 and still the residence of my family today.
We offer 4 double rooms, a 3-person suite/apartment with a kitchenette and garden, 1 superior quadruple room for 4 people with an equipped kitchen, and a 4/5-person superior quadruple suite/apartment with 2 bathrooms, a spacious living area, and an equipped kitchen.
Our B&B is surrounded by a marvelous natural park of 80,000 square meters and is located just a short walk from the historic center of Florence, which can be reached in only 12 minutes thanks to the new tram line. You can visit the historic part where the family archive dating back to the 1400s is preserved, the subject of studies and research from all over the world.
Another fascinating attraction is my family's genealogical tree. Here, we provide a brief historical overview of my family: the Incontri (originally called Incontrini) are a noble family from Volterra, a city where they were among the main aristocrats for centuries. From here, the various family branches spread throughout Tuscany (Siena, Pistoia), and the main branch settled in Florence. It is believed that Teodorico is the progenitor of the family: he died in 890, during the Carolingian era. We look forward to sharing unforgettable moments together.
Our delightful breakfast, served from 8.00 to 10.00 on weekdays and from 08.30 to 10.30 on weekends, is a typically Italian experience enhanced by delicious surprises. We offer a generous breakfast to start your day off right, kindly reminding you that we are a cozy Bed and Breakfast establishment, not a hotel.

My name is Roberto Incontri and I have been living in Florence for over fifty years. My family has a long history and is part of the Florentine aristocracy. I am deeply in love with my land, my city, and everything that surrounds me. I feel extremely fortunate to live in this marvelous paradise and to be able to admire the beauty of nature that surrounds us every morning. I enjoy sharing this passion with my guests and making new friends with them. Our location is really convenient, as we are practically in the city center. Thanks to the new tram line, the T1 Leonardo, it is possible to reach the historic center in just 12 minutes. The Careggi/Ospedali stop of this line is only a 5-minute walk away, so you can comfortably leave your cars in our large park.
Rifredi, a town rich in history, has been chosen by many prestigious Florentine families to build their country residences. The Medici, Strozzi, Cellini, Vespucci, Brunelleschi, Steccuti, Del Bene, and Guidotti have all left their mark here. Over the years, Rifredi has witnessed numerous conflicts and wars, led by the militias of Castruccio Castracani, Azzo Visconti of Milan, and the Englishman John Hawkwood, also known as "the Sharp", who fought on behalf of the Pisan "cousins". Don't miss the opportunity to visit Villa la Petraia, the Medici Villa of Careggi, the Medici Villa of Castello, the Badia Fiesolana, and the Royal Villa. At Ponte di Rifredi, there was once an inn called "Osteria di Gianesse", which remained open until the 1950s. Even Lorenzo the Magnificent mentioned it in his work "The Symposium". To commemorate these events, a plaque was placed on Via Reginaldo Giuliani, near Piazza Dalmazia. Lorenzo dè Medici also spoke of Rifredi in his "Il Malmantile". The Terzolle stream takes its name from "Tertium Lapidem" - it was known as the stone that marked the third mile from Via Cassia Nuova, which joined Via Cassia Vetus at Ponte di Rifredi and continued towards Quarto, Quinto, Sesto, and Settimello.
