Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Located in the peace and serenity of the Florentine countryside, yet just an eighteen-minute drive away from the city centre, this breathtaking location will allow you to enjoy the quiet of the countryside lifestyle without being too far away from the action of the city. This means guests can combine culture and sightseeing with those all-important moments of rejuvenation and relaxation in a stunning setting. The villa itself has recently undergone a complete renovation; however original features, including terracotta floors and ceilings as well as exposed beams and stone brickwork, stay humble to the home's charm. Modern furnishings and design pieces ensure comfort and practicality through the interior, while added luxuries, including a sauna and gym, offer guests a hotel-like experience centred around wellness. Outside, you'll find an alfresco living area in the gated garden with a private pool and sun loungers, in addition to an outdoor dining area and barbecue under the pergola.

About Arcetri
Arcetri is a quiet area that sits behind the riverside neighbourhoods of Santo Spirito and San Niccolò. Much less dense than the areas directly next to the river, it's a different feel to, but still not far from, the historical centre.
