Hostel
Ostello del Bigallo
Via del Bigallo e Apparita 14, 50012 Bagno a Ripoli, Italy – Great location - show map
Calming, relaxed stay with excited and adventurous world travelers sharing, stories, global views, hikes, drinks and meals. All in an stunning ancient building feeling that historical European charm.

Staff was super friendly and accomodating. The location is perfect if one looks for a spot to start hiking and biking tours. The building is very charming and the ancient kitchen makes for a great atmosphere. The freshly cooked pasta dinner by staff every evening is just great and afterwards one can relax on the terrace with a glass of wine, overlooking the city of Firenze and the mountains of Tuscany - Fantastico!

The place is a hidden gem! We went for a night only, for work, and didn't really know the place. We chose it because of its price. But then, lo and behold, we found ourselves into a medieval wonder lost in the hills surrounding Florence. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and, more than that, they really seemed to be good people. We'll surely come back, and hopefully stay longer this time.

The nightly pasta dinners and provided breakfasts were such a great opportunity to chat to the other travellers. the energy and environment was beautiful

Amazing location in the countryside, so quiet and peaceful. We stayed in the 24 mixed dorm which has two bed private cubes, perfect for traveling in pairs. Building was beautiful and hosts were awesome. Bus 23 takes you from the city centre towards Bagno A Ripoli. Then a 15 minute walk up a hill to a peaceful stay.

Amazing place. So quite and rejuvinating 😊 the meals were amazing and the bed was super comfortable 👌

The hostel is about 30/40 minutes by bus from the city center, and then you have to walk for about a km. Although it might be quite far, the hostel is placed in a lovely scenery, and the view at sunset is wonderful! You are offered dinner and the atmosphere is relaxed and warm. The hostel is very clean and I found no problems at all. Definitely recommended!

Ferdinando is a really welcoming host and the building is incredible! Just as you would expect an old monastery! It also has a great location (takes only about 20 min to Florence center by bus) and an amazing view of Florence!

Amazing place, feels like you’re in history. Views are amazing, clean rooms, good food made by the owner and nice talks about Italy and its history in the evenings :). Beds were also good, quit in the night, so good sleeps :)

How can I get from Florence? Price of the taxi? O shuttleHi, there's a local bus connecting the main train station quite close (1.2km) to the hostel. At the moment the ticket price is 1,50€. If you decide for a cab, assuming that you take it from the train station, the price would be around 30/40€.Answered on December 30, 2021
