VILLA FLORENTIA

A marvelous 5 acre estate and authentic 15th century villa set in the immediate surroundings of Florence with an amazing view of the Duomo of Florence in a distance… It is a fantastic property, located in one of the most evocative spots of the olive grove and cypress tree clad hillside. A one-of-kind retreat, an exclusive oasis, just a 10-minute drive from one of the world's most beautiful cities.

Dating back to the 15th century, this historical villa has been recently restored and refurbished from top to bottom. All around the house, there is a romantic, terraced garden with ponds and fountains, lemon plants and persimmon trees, strawberry grape vine and delicate flowers.

Inside, the interiors are cosy and elegant with seven bedrooms fully and tastefully furnished.

Throughout the whole villa, with its two large living rooms, a bright oversized dining room, frescoes and fireplaces, a warm atmosphere with plenty of comfortable corners for reading, relaxing and entertaining. The spacious fully equipped kitchen connects to the rear garden for lovely al-fresco dining.

The tower section consists in an independent yet connected apartment, with its own little kitchenette.

Top-notch heating system with area thermostats, instant unlimited hot water for showers or bathtub soaks, air-conditioning and broadband internet connection.

The Villa also boasts a large indoor whirlpool (about 80 x 120 inches). It is heated and with a salt (no chlorine) filter, allowing guests to enjoy it for as long as they want with no unpleasant dermatological side effects.

Outdoors, a new dipping pool has been created in one of the garden terraces. Not a standard swimming pool but rather an enjoyable large outdoor jacuzzi-like pool (160 x 150 inches) with a great view of Florence.

This villa is a great base for discerning guests to enjoy Florence as well as to explore the many other cities and sites in Tuscany.
