Florence Rose Bed & Breakfast
"A group of 5 couples who travel together for the Classic Car hobby, stayed at the Rose! It was the 2nd visit for us! Steve and Andy do a terrific job of accommodating their guests, and the extra touch of tea and hot cookies just out of the oven when we arrived were so welcome! The most spectacular ammenity of The Rose is the cabana and hottub area...very lovely surroundings, and adequate space for our informal cocktail hour before adjourning for dinner. At the Innkeeper's recommendation, we ate at a wonderful cafe in the town of Florence! We were in Florence for the local car show, and we left our bags there until afterwards. They gave us an icy bottle of water to take along on our journey back to Denver! My husband and I would definitely return!!" - a Bedandbreakfast user
