The Casa di Annalena was built in the nineteenth century, inspired by Neoclassicism, where Annalena Malatesta’s palace once stood. Its first and second floors have welcomed guests since 1919, when the Calastrini Rossoni family opened the Pensione Annalena.
The entrance
From Via Romana, a wide hall with a terracotta and white floor leads into the house and on towards the garden door. By the arched front door, two plaques still read Pensione Annalena and Casa di Annalena.
The salons
High ceilings, paintings, deep sofas and plants: the salons keep the look of a lived-in Florentine home.
Loggia and terraces
Between yellow columns, the loggia opens onto the greenery. Terraces wrapped in jasmine and climbing plants look over the gardens of the Oltrarno.
Breakfast
Breakfast is served in a bright room with tall windows, its walls the warm yellow of the house. Ask us about times and options when you book.
