The first floor leads to the Tower, originally designed as a separate apartment, with a huge living room on the top floor and a cooking area, two bedrooms with air conditioning and two ensuite bathrooms. The Tower has been completely refurbished and has modern design furniture.
The Villa is surrounded by the geometries of the Italian garden that will lead you to the outdoor gazebo where it is possible to have lunch and dinner in the shade of the wisteria for up to twenty seated people. In the garden and in addition to the gazebo, there is also a nice sitting area.
The garden leads to the swimming pool located on a lower terrace and overlooking the olive grove. The 13 x 6 meters swimming pool is surrounded by a lawn and breathtaking views. In the pool area there is a gazebo underneath a huge willow tree, equipped with a dining table and chairs.
After the complete renovation aimed at preserving the ancient structure of the house, Florence Villa has been restored to its past 16th century splendor. The particular attention that was paid by the current owners during the two-year renovation has allowed the property to be equipped with all the modern day comforts maintaining, at the same time, the original structure and functionality with ceilings reaching 4 meters high in the sitting rooms and rooms that are over 35 sqm large. Many original 16th century details have also been preserved, such as the ancient stone fireplaces, the terracotta floors, the doors and the paneled ceilings.
The tower and the bathrooms, which were heavily compromised over the years, have been completely and totally renovated and represent the most modern part of the house.
The Villa has also been furnished with care, harmoniously combining antique details and contemporary furnishings.
With its 10 spacious rooms and panoramic views, 9 bathrooms, 2 kitchens and wonderful sitting rooms, the Villa can accommodate up to 20 guests.
Outside, the Villa is surrounded on three sides by a beautiful Italian garden, notified and protected by the Belle Arti as a garden of historical interest. The property is completed by the swimming pool area located on a garden’s lower terrace and two gazebos where you can have lunch and dinner outdoors.
