La Fiorentina Tuscany
Dating back to the 16th century, La Fiorentina is an exquisite property only one mile from Florence's historical center.
This typical Florentine villa is situated on the hill of "Poggio Imperiale" (the original property of the Austrian Grand Dukes of Tuscany, dating back to the 18th century) 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 an ample parking area, and then onto this charming and lovely villa.
La Fiorentina's sunny interiors are elegant, yet simple. Interesting and unique architectural details have been left throughout the villa in order to remind of its origins. The spacious living room boasts typical Tuscan motifs such as a beautiful stone fireplace, exposed wood-beamed ceilings and terracotta floors. The living room leads onto an outdoor terrace, perfect for lounging under the sunshades, or whiling away a pleasant evening dining al fresco. On the lower level from the terrace, the inviting swimming pool allows complete privacy while sunbathing, as well as enjoying the shade from the surrounding trees. La Fiorentina's beautiful garden looks out onto the Florentine hillside as well as Villa del Poggio Imperiale.
La Fiorentina is centrally located—only 10 minutes by car from the historical center of Florence. The villa dates back to the 16th century, when it consisted of two buildings: a manor and a farmhouse. Around 1840 the two buildings were joined, giving the Villa its current architectural shape.
