About this property

FABULOUS 4BD VILLA WITH MAGNIFICENT POOL & VIEWS, MINUTES TO DOWNTOWN FLORENCE!

This wonderful recently renovated 4BR/3.5BA villa sits on top of a hill and is part of a 20 hectares organic farm, immersed in the most beautiful typical Tuscan landscape. A luxury private swimming pool, as well as a private lake and the most amazing direct views on the city, can all be enjoyed at this magnificent property…
Being just about 4 miles away from the beginning of the historic district of the city of Florence, the villa is a truly unique place to stay at while enjoying the multitude of activities and places to see in Florence and its surrounding areas in Tuscany!

The villa and its Garden.
The villa has been recently completely renovated by the owner to the highest standards, maintaining all its original features and charm. The thorough attention to details as well as the exquisitely appointed furniture have contributed into creating a very special space that perfectly blends with the villa’s ancient structure.

The magnificent 20 hectares park surrounding the villa is full of beautiful paths across olive groves, fruit trees and flowers. The private lake, that comes with a small wooden house is perfect for meditating and relaxing, surrounded by the “silence” of the magical nature and the company of the wild animals that may come around..

Right outside the villa’s entrance the outdoors is equipped with a shaded pergola (fully furnished) perfect for relaxing, al fresco dining or having a barbecue.. The lavish infinity style swimming pool (size 10x5 meters, 32x16 ft.) comes fully furnished with day beds, super comfortable lounges and boasts an amazing panorama with breathtaking top views on the city. The pool area is fenced and is equipped with a shower.

The cozy yet sophisticated and elegant atmosphere of the interiors, the stunning beauty of the villa’s garden & pool together with the quietness of the area, make this property a truly unique place perfect to hide away & relax, just steps away from the very best the city of Florence has to offer..

Location details.
The villa is located in the Settignano area of the city of Florence, just about 4.2 miles away from the beginning of its historic district.
The village of Settignano is about 0.6 miles away, can be reached on foot and features 3 great restaurant/pizzerias, cafes as well as a pharmacy, grocery stores, etc. The nearest bus stop can also be found at Settignano where the number 10 will take you directly to Piazza San Marco from which you can easily walk to all of Florence's main sites.

Just five minutes walking distance it is also possible to visit the world renowned garden of Villa Gamberaia, one of the most meaningful examples of Italian Gardening.

Wonderful views
The setting of the villa in the hills above Florence is impressive. There's a lovely pool also with magnificent views. The property is isolated and therefore extremely quiet and peaceful. The house is in need of some maintenance- from the front door which sticks to the air-conditioning in the first bedroom upstairs on the left which doesn't work and numerous other small things which need fixing,replacing or updating.

such a shame
The house is lovely and has everything you need, but a few things to be aware of... there are a few steps around inside the house between bathrooms and bedrooms. The pool is a significant distance from the house, so if you are going to the pool dont forget anythng and you cant see it from the house, there is also no wifi at the pool, and the WIFI in the house is VERY slow and intermittent. We came for a week to work and relax but were not able to work at all so ended up having to leave as the wifi was just not good enough. Im sure this would work for others but not for us. We didnt have any problems with the location, it was lovely, beautiful surroundings and very quiet, shame about the pylons. The roads are narrow but there is a pretty straight forward route into florence once you find it. I would suggest the owner provides a decent map for future guests. Air conditioing didnt always apear to work in one bedroom.

Florentine villa amongst olive groves
We enjoyed a relaxing and very pleasurable stay. The villa is delightful, tucked into the hills above Florence surrounded by olive trees with fabulous views of the city below. It is elegantly decorated but very comfortable with well equipped kitchen and very much a family home. The swimming pool is sensationally positioned for a perfect view of the city and surrounding countryside and we happily sunbathed, read then cooled off in the pool which is also very well maintained. It is a fifteen minute easy drive into Florence with excellent parking and a pleasant walk into and around the city. The access roads to the villa are narrow lanes ( very similar to Cornwall!) but present no problem once you are shown the easiest routes by Giovanni the helpful owner who also showed us the nearest shopping centre and whose English far surpassed my skills in French or Italian! Equally helpful is Claudio who manages the farm and villa and makes sure all is tidy and comfortable on a daily basis. It is an ideal point to explore the region both from an historic , countryside and wine culture point of view or just to relax in the comfort, facilities and peace of the area. My family ( all adult children ) all enjoyed our stay very much and could not recommend it more highly a beautiful , peaceful location with all we required. Whilst there is public transport and taxis available we all had cars which make the location much easier to access and to travel and explore the region. A wonderful holiday.

Amazing Villa! Can’t wait for our next stay
This villa truly surpassed our expectations! The photos online do not do it’s beauty justice. It is unbelievably stunning. Giovanni was also extremely accommodating and friendly. Met us upon arrival and gave tons of recommendations on top of the booklet that was already provided. Just a 20 minute drive from the city center of Florence, it was the perfect escape out of the busy city. I cannot wait for our next visit to Florence! Grazie!!

Un coin perdu
Avant de vous lancer dans l’aventure, sachez que cette jolie propriété est à 35/40 minutes en voiture du centre historique de Florence. Surtout, suivez les instructions d’accès laissées par le propriétaire (pas votre GPS), ainsi que toutes ses autres recommandations. L’accès à la propriété est un point négatif : la route est très étroite et à double sens, et l’entrée ou la sortie du domaine nécessite plusieurs manœuvres. Le lieu est idyllique une fois que vous y êtes : des vues imprenables sur Florence, un grand jardin, des hectares d’oliviers et une piscine très agréable, située au bout d’une allée d’oliviers à quelques pas de la propriété. Si la météo vous empêche de sortir, vous risquez de trouver le temps long et l’endroit particulièrement isolé. A noter que quelque soit la météo, le calme est garanti. La villa a le charme des propriétés qui ont une âme et nous y avons été sensibles. L’aménagement intérieur est celui d’une villa dans « son jus » avec le confort qui y correspond, même si des travaux de rénovation ont été entrepris côté cuisine (grande, beaucoup d’équipements mais de la vaisselle manquante: verres, bols, ..) et chambres (climatisation efficace et silencieuse). La propreté est celle d’une villa où les passages se succèdent. La villa a du cachet, nous y avons globalement tous passé un bon moment et particulièrement apprécié la présence et bienveillance de Claudio. A éviter en cas de météo capricieuse (lieu isolé et sombre)
