AMAZING PLACE AND A TRUE TUSCAN EXPERIENCE
My husband and I spent two weeks at this property recently in October and it was fantastic in every way. The studio apartment is a separate building with a private entrance situated in the courtyard of an historic villa. The Villa is located in an exclusive neighborhood in the hills of south Florence where other beautiful villas adorn the area. Galileo, the astronomer, lived his final years in a villa just a short walk from here. It’s so cool to think you’re walking the same streets as Galileo did over 375 years ago. The apartment is very comfortable and modest and in my opinion an historical gem. It was the former chapel of the Villa before it was reimagined and renovated by the owners who are both well known architects in Italy. You can feel the history within these four walls with the stained glass windows, carved wooden doors, arched niches, and original ceramic tile floor. They even preserved a part of the original fresco painting on the ceiling and wall. The bathroom and kitchen are studio sized with all the modern conveniences and very adequate for two people. If you’re a couple looking for “robe and slippers” luxury accommodations I would suggest one of the 5 star hotels in Florence but if you’re looking for an authentic Tuscan experience this is a perfect place.
Thank you Francesca and Ghigi for sharing your home and hospitality with us. Your children are delightful and we loved Lola.
