About the home

Only one mile from Porta Romana, a historical gate into Florence, this typical Florentine villa is situated on the hill of "Poggio Imperiale" in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, surrounded by olive groves, gardens and fruit trees. Its garden looks out onto the beautiful Florentine hillside including the Arcetri observatory where Galileo Galilei continued his astronomical research after being called to Florence in 1610 by Cosimo II dei Medici.

The Villa has recently been fully remodeled and restored.This careful restoration has created a very special ambiance: elegant, cozy and appealing.

The historical district of the city of Florence is only about one mile away. The city centre is easily accessible either by bus, taxi or rental car. World renowned Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi museum are only 3 km (1.9 miles) away, the main train station and Piazza Del Duomo (the “heart” of the city centre) only 4 km (2.4 miles) away.

Distance to Florence "Peretola" Airport: 20 minutes. Distance to Main train station "Santa Maria Novella": 6 minutes.
