About the home

Only one mile from Porta Romana, a historical gate into Florence, this typical Florentine villa is located on the hill of "Poggio Imperiale" in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, surrounded by olive groves, gardens and fruit trees. A long avenue of grand cypresses leads from the iron gate to the staircase of the villa's main entrance. Behind the cypresses there is a large parking for guests. The garden looks out onto the beautiful Fiorentine hillside as well as Villa del Poggio Imperiale - from 1737 to 1860 residence of the "Lorena" family, the Austrian Granddukes of Tuscany - and the Arcetri observatory where Galileo Galilei continued his astronomical research after being called to Florence in 1610 by Cosimo II dei Medici.
The Villa La Fonte estate has recently been fully remodeled and restored.
This careful restoration has created a very special ambiance: elegant, cozy and appealing.
Villa La Fonte is an ideal location for visiting Florence, but also convenient to Chianti and Siena ( approximately 40 minutes by car ), as well as to Pisa, Lucca and Arezzo ( approximately 60 minutes on the autostrada )
Distance to Florence "Peretola" Airport: 20 minutes. Distance to Main train station "Santa Maria Novella": 6 minutes.
