THE VILLA

The villa sits at the end of a cypress tree-lined driveway on the southern hills of Florence and immersed in the spectacular Tuscan countryside that surrounds the famous city. It's location, just a ten minute drive from the city, yet offering all of the benefits, comfort and beauty of a fine countryside residence, is one of its truly unique points. It is without doubt the closest villa to Florence in terms of villas of its stature.


The layout of the villa is typical of aristocratic renaissance villas. It is centred around a paved courtyard, surrounded by formal gardens and set in a productive agricultural landscape. The villa itself measures 1,000 square meters and sleeps up to fourteen guests in seven bedrooms. Originally commissioned by the Marquis Niccolò Antinori in the fifteenth century, the Villa has undergone numerous improvements and renovations over the years, without ever losing its renaissance structure that distinguishes it from any other property in its category, making it truly unique.


The villa is fully staffed offering guests maximum comfort during their stay. Guests will be well served by the resident housekeeping couple, chef and concierge service that provides around the clock assistance.

 

Accommodation:

  • The Baldacchino Suite is the only remaining bedroom on the ground floor as originally planned by Niccolò Antinori in the Sixteenth Century. The walls are decorated with frescoes depicting Old Testament scenes. Research has dated the work to 1730.

  • The Roses Suite was one of the first bedrooms created on the first floor during restructuring work in the Nineteenth Century. Favoured for its prime position, it overlooks the central courtyard on one side and the surrounding countryside on the other. It comprises adjacent twin beds and a spacious seating area.

  • The Green Suite is the largest suite in the villa. It owes its name to the green Eighteenth Century furniture in the hallway preceding it. A hidden passageway for staff, in the wardrobe, leads to a service hallway and stairs to the ground floor. The bedroom features a double bed, a sitting area with a working fireplace and a sizeable wardrobe.

  • The Oriental Suite owes its name to the frescoed walls depicting Chinese figures. It is the smallest bedroom but commands a central view of the villa’s park and lake beyond. Fallow deer, hares and other wildlife can be spotted roaming the estate. The bedroom features a four-poster double bed canopied in Nineteenth Century Tuscan silk and a sitting area with a working fireplace.

  • The Pink Suite is one of the more modern rooms in the villa, decorated with classic furniture and wood flooring. It is a spacious corner bedroom comprised of two single beds that can be joined together to make a double bed. An oversize sofa-bed may, if needed, accommodate a third guest.

  • The Hunting Suite is furnished in a modern style. Its corner position commands a view of the cypress treelined driveway that leads to the villa. The suite comprises a double bed, a study area and a walk-in closet.
