This 17th-century villa is fifteen minutes from the historic centre of Florence. Once you’ve had your fill of the bustling city centre, the Uffizi and the crowded Duomo Square, it’s a delight to retreat to this ancient residential area on the edge of the city. A private pool occupies one of the natural garden terraces and the dining patios and outdoor lounges overlook the domes and towers of the Florence skyline. Those who enjoy alfresco dining can take advantage of the summer kitchen and stone grill. The decor harks back to the old world (some might say dated), and there are three comfy living rooms and a full kitchen inside.
