“Will never go to Italy again without staying at Casa La Pace!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 25, 2012

My husband and I recently went to Italy. My second trip and his first. We had heard about Casa La Pace- Rusty and Pepper- from a friend who had recently stayed and loved it. We started our trip in Florence, then to Rome, and finally ended in Ghivizzano. Much to our surprise the best part of our entire trip was staying at Casa La Pace. Rusty and Pepper really make you feel at home immediately. Its incredible to be in another country and feel so comfortable and like you've been friends your whole life. Casa La Pace was the best place we stayed by far, not just because of the beautiful view, comfortable rooms, or the real Italian breakfasts every morning. Rusty and Pepper really seal the deal. They are so kind, helpful, and fun! We were looking for flights to come back before we even left. We will always stay at Casa La Pace every trip to Italy, and are looking forward to bringing friends and family back with us!

Room Tip: All the rooms are beautifully updated. The Victoria Room has an incredible view of the valley. But y...

Dear Lindsey S,

Casa La Pace Bed and Breakfast thanks you for your wonderful review. Firenze and Roma are vibrant cities and Ghivizzano can't offer similar touristic stimulation. But our valley is tranquil and offers a chance to catch your breath and unwind. We love Ghivizzano and we are happy when others enjoy it, too.

We are also honored that you appreciated our efforts to make you feel at home. We strive to create a welcoming environment, especially for first-time visitors to Italy.

Pepper and I sometimes don't get to know each guest as well as well as we'd like. Fortunately, we were able to spend ample time with you and your husband. We now count you as friends and we look forward to your next visit to Casa La Pace.

With appreciation, your hosts – Rusty and Pepper

“Exceeded expectations I. Every way”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012 via mobile

We had a fantastic time. The service and friendliness were phenomenal. Rusty and Pepper went above and beyond. They helped with information and suggestions for our stay and were fantastic guides when we needed assistance. Can't wait to return.

“Experiencing the true Italy!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012

What can I say? It was our 20th anniversary trip and I had high expectations. But, Rusty and Pepper with their Casa La Pace surpassed every expectation. Not only were they superb hosts, but they also shared tips to help us navigate Italian travel, food, culture and life. Plus, because of Pepper and Rusty’s relationships in the village and surrounding area, we were able to see places and to interact in close and personal ways with the people.

As for Casa La Pace itself, you can tell that it was lovingly restored with all the modern conveniences blending beautifully with an older Italian home.

I had never met them before this trip, but after two weeks at Casa La Pace, we felt like we had gained new family. My husband and I travel frequently, and have returned more than once to only one other location. However, we are already anticipating our next trip to Casa La Pace in Ghivizzano, Italy!

“A jewel in Northwest Tuscany”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 28, 2012

Upon our arrival, we were greeted by Pepper to assist us with our bags. In fact, he had been trying to reach us during the day by email as there was the possibility of a train strike and he wanted to be sure we did not get stranded en route. The B&B has been lovingly restored and decorated with tasteful furniture and art. In the late afternoon, Pepper gave us a personal tour of the fortress - what an amazing structure with meaningful American connections from the 2nd world war. Later we met up with Rusty for dinner at a local restaurant with recommendations from Rusty and Pepper as they have eaten everything on the menu! Breakfasts featured local fresh fruit, meats and cheeses as well as special gluten-free pastry prepared especially for our dietary needs. What a wonderful treat! We'll definitely be back - and next time we'll stay longer!

“Third time is a charm”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 19, 2012

This was our third time to visit Casa La Pace and it just keeps getting better. After a week in and out of Ghivizzano, we went to Florence for 3 days and really missed the beauty, serenity, and hospitality of Casa La Pace. It has become ITALY to us.
