Perfect place with very nice furnitures. Also very very clean . It is very near to everything and you can go to every “must” place in Florence by foot. If we will be back to Florence we will definitely choose it again .
We had a very nice time here. The room was very big and clean, nicely decorated and with a balcony. Teodora was very helpful, so we enjoyed our stay very much. Right in the centre of Firenze, so you can walk everywhere
First off the location was in walking distance to everything. Then the room was lovely, nice size with a cute little balcony. Such a beautiful B&B the first part of our trip it’s going to be hard to top the rest of our time in Italy. Will definitely return!

Agritourism
That of Masseria Zanzara is a centuries-old story that has its roots in the bare earth of the Salento countryside and grows luxuriant under the warm Apulian sun.
Many of the products we use in our cuisine originate just a few steps away from the Masseria, in the expanses of land that surround it. Olives, vegetables, fruit and vegetables are grown with our own hands according to the organic method.
From the centuries-old olive trees we produce our D.O.C. oil with its delicate, fruity flavour. With the same wisdom and gesture of ancient housewives, we continue to transform the gifts of our land to preserve them throughout the year.
This is how our preserves and jams are born. A concentrate of the most intense flavours of Apulia to take home to relive the experience made at the Masseria.
Our cusine
In the places where olive oil was once extracted stands our restaurant, a unique space recreated in the Masseria's ancient oil mill where barrel vaults and tufa walls enhance the authenticity of ancient flavours.
Our cuisine follows the seasonality of the ingredients, many of which are produced in the Masseria's fields according to organic cultivation and with full respect for biodiversity.
