Located just 14km from Florence among unspoilt hills of the Valdarno Valley, this villa in Tuscany is ideal for those looking to enjoy more space and privacy while on holiday together.
The restored, traditional country home is separated into two wings and a Casetta - each containing two bedrooms and bathrooms, their own living and dining spaces, and a kitchen.
The East Wing is open and inviting, with a sitting room and dining for six. Of the two bedrooms, one provides a charming view of the old mill tower. The South Wing overlooks the picturesque Valdarno Valley and includes a cozy library and an impressive kitchen featuring an original bread oven. Both bedrooms boast views of either the courtyard or Valdarno Mountains.
In the courtyard facing the olive grove, the Casetta will delight with its sunny terrace, original Florentine features, and fireplace. The two bedrooms are warmly welcoming, including a double room with terrace access. With this unique layout, each person can spread out to do his or her own thing, then meet for alfresco dinners or dips in the pool.
There’s something for everyone in Florence, and the famous city is easy to access with the bus connection nearby.
