Explore authentic and rustic villas in Florence, Italy.
You may think Italy is beautiful, but you haven’t seen anything until you’ve visited this city. From the comfort of our beautiful villas in Florence, Italy, you can enjoy an incredible vacation with every possible luxury you could dream of, close to the cobblestone streets and sloped red roofs of Firenze. The capital city of Tuscany, you can expect endless cultural and historical sites, awe-inspiring Renaissance architecture, preserved medieval landmarks, and quaint, charming streets no matter which direction you look. And when you want to explore a little further out of the city? Tuscany’s ethereal landscapes of rolling hills and sprawling vineyards awaits.
When you choose to stay in Florence, you can stay in one of our incredible, rustic villas that are nestled deep within the heart of the Tuscan countryside, complete with authentic interior designs, extensive gardens, and beautiful private pools. Or, alternatively you can choose one of our elegant Florence condos and stay at the heart of it all, only moments from Florence’s most popular attractions.
Florence, the capital of the Tuscany region, is nestled deep within its heart. Located south from Milan and north from Rome, Florence is close to Siena, Arezzo, Lucca and Pisa, some of our other popular Tuscany destinations.
We highly recommend a visit to the Accademia Gallery housing the famous David of Michelangelo, the Uffizi Gallery, Pitti Palace, and Palazzo Vecchio.
In the summer months, there is nothing quite like a balmy evening in Florence. You can expect high temperatures and bright blue skies. Fall and spring are typically cooler, but still warm enough to wear t-shirts, and the winters are very mild, and snow is very rare.
Despite being a cultural hub, Florence is, surprisingly, well-known for having wonderful nightlife. There are plenty of clubs and bars dotted throughout the historical city, with opening hours that extend long into the early hours.
Florence is set deep within the Tuscan countryside, so if you’re hoping to visit a beach on your vacation, you will need to be prepared to make a trip elsewhere. For example, one of the best beaches in Tuscany, in Viareggio, is an hour and twenty minute drive away.
We recommend visiting Florence in the spring or fall months. This is because you can avoid the soaring temperatures and larger crowds present in the summer, and make the most of the beautiful weather before it gets a little chilly in the winter.
When it comes to popular European cities like Florence, threaded with quaint cobblestone streets, courtyards awash in the scent of blooming flowers, and hidden gems that offer the most impressive views of the Florence Duomo from your outdoor dining table, we highly recommend you take the time to discover unlikely restaurants hidden away in the twisting medieval streets. Often, these are the best restaurants in Florence offering authentic settings, and you are likely to find the most incredible Italian cuisine you’ll ever sample in your life. However, if you need some inspiration to get going with, we recommend the highly rated Gustarium, the Trattoria il Bargello, the SENZ’ALTRO Bistrot, and if you’re celebrating, the Michelin starred Degusteria Italiana agli Uffizi.
