B&B room rates include breakfast for two. Breakfast is available at whatever time suits you and includes platters of seasonal fruit, fresh bread, homemade jams, selection of cereals, croissants, yogurt and the option of a daily special which might be raspberry pancakes, scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, roasted tomato and pancetta bruschetta, caramelised pear croissants... Vegetarians, vegans and those with special dietary needs are very welcome: just let us know your preferences and we will ensure an excellent breakfast to suit.

A full week (7 nights) is offered at a reduced rate. Extra beds and single occupancy reduction are also available. These are the four guest rooms at Villa Rosalena, coloured by some of our favourite things!

Cioccolato is a large room with a chocolate and cream colour scheme, with three windows, one of which is a full length French window with front facing river views.

Pannacotta is our largest room and ideal for young families. It has a cream and blue colour scheme with a wrought iron sleigh bed. It has front facing river views from both the bedroom and bathroom.

Vino Bianco is a large room with white and gold colour scheme with a modern four poster style double bed and a side facing view from both the bedroom and bathroom.

Gelato is decorated in vanilla with ice cream stripes! It has a side facing view and is entered from its own lobby through a terracotta brick arch. It is standard size room. Gelato can be made up with twin single beds or a double bed according to preference.

For longer stays and off season we offer the opportunity to select your preferred room and can confirm a named room if requested. For shorter stays at peak times we reserve the right to allocate rooms on arrival.

Outside

During the summer months cool off or splash about in the 15ft circular above ground pool or relax on a lounger on the sundeck soaking up the Tuscan sun. The garden and terraces provide seating in sun and shade surrounded by Mediterranean plants and herbs. Depending on the season help yourself to the fruits of the garden, including grape vines, figs, persimmon, walnuts, plums and fresh tomatoes. An ideal spot to relax with a good book, enjoy a chilled glass of wine or just gaze at the panoramic scenery.

Families

Children are very welcome at Villa Rosalena; indeed, we have two of our own! A children’s bed can usually be put into a double room for an extra 15 euros (under 5s free). Our largest room ‘Pannacotta’ is particularly suited to young families as it can easily sleep four. We can loan toys, books, DVDs etc. to keep under 10s amused. Please let us know in advance if you need a cot or highchair. Parents should bear in mind that there are quite a few steps up to Villa Rosalena, and the garden is terraced. Children must be supervised outside and around the pool.
