About this property

Apartment in villa with garden and view over Florence

The apartment, inserted in a historic complex on the hills of Florence, has been recently renovated.
It is the annex of a historic 15th century Florentine Villa, with independent access to the ground floor on the beautiful entrance garden of the Villa. The panorama is truly unique, overlooking the Duomo and the city.
Overall, in addition to the main Villa and another apartment on the upper floor with independent access, there is the private Chapel, the park, a panoramic garden at the back of the Villa with a “child-friendly” brick house and a lemon house, the olive grove and a grove.
All in perfect Tuscan style, immersed in the greenery and tranquility of the Tuscan hill, despite being only 3 km from the center of Florence, reachable in ten minutes.
The center of Florence is also easily reachable by public transport in about 15 minutes (line n ° 25) which stops near the gate of the Villa.
In the immediate vicinity, in the square of La Lastra, there are bars, a post office, groceries and a service station.
The apartment consists of a hall-entrance with open kitchen, a double bedroom with bathroom, a twin bedroom with mezzanine where two more beds are located, corridor with bathroom, laundry-pantry. The apartment is equipped with TV, washing machine and dryer, dishwasher, oven and microwave, refrigerator with freezer, Internet and Wifi connection, air conditioning and alarm system.
It is particularly cool in summer and warm in winter.
A parking space is available in the driveway, protected by the entrance gate.

Beautiful House in the Hills
With my husband and 2 grown up daughters we stayed here in the middle of June. Everything worked well in the Apartment, it was very clean and comfortable. Just as pictured and described on Homeaway site. Florence was experiencing a heat wave when we stayed here so the Air Conditioning was so welcome. The apartment is a 10 minute walk to the Bus Stop. The frequent buses take you to the centre of Florence for under 2 Euros. Anna’s mum Doreen is so helpful and obliging, she took us to the supermarket and the Train Station and was always contactable if we had a problem. A very pleasant hostess indeed. We would love to go back as this was a super place to rent.

Calm and peaceful oasis
The highlight of the stay was the kindness and responsiveness of the host, Doreen. She was attentive to our needs and very accommodating. The booking from start to finish was informative and smooth. The grounds of the home are breathtaking and calm, there are expansive gardens and walking paths that include a stunning view of the city. The home was more than enough for our family of four. With two teenage daughters the two bathrooms were a very welcoming feature. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the necessities to prepare our meals. The location is approximately 15-20 minutes from the city center, and therefore transportation needs to be carefully considered.

Unique Florence experience: almost-Tuscan-countryside/almost-in-the city
Stunning views of olive groves in the foreground and Florence's Duomo in the background. Doreen and Ana were great hosts who went above and beyond to make our stay a lovely one. They even shared their freshly pressed olive oil (which had just been harvested)! This is an ideal place for someone who doesn't necessarily want to be in the center every day during their trip (perhaps for someone who has been to Florence before or if you have a long enough trip planned this time) and who is hoping to have a semblance of the bucolic quietude that one might get if staying further out into the Tuscan countryside. The apartment, itself (bottom floor of one large guesthouse), is lovely, full of character, spacious, and clean.
