Once the residence of Italy's former ambassador, this villa on a Fiesole hilltop carries a quiet grandeur that takes hold the moment you arrive. Classical Italian gardens – marble statues, a rose-wrapped pergola, a flower-lined pool overlooking olive groves and cypress trees – give the grounds a scale that feels far removed from everyday life. A wellness floor with a jacuzzi, infrared sauna, and full gym means there's plenty to keep you in, while the panoramic rooftop terrace pulls you back out with views across Florence and the Tuscan countryside. The hilltop town of Fiesole is just five minutes away.
