Villa Fiesole

Full Description

It is a particularly beautiful part of Tuscany with so much to see and do within an easy drive of the property. It is just a 10 minute drive to the Firenze Sud exit of the A1 motorway, and the centre of Florence can be reached within 20 minutes. It is also possible to travel to and from Florence by bus from the nearby village of Compiobbi. The Chianti towns and villages are also within an easy drive, and facilities for tennis and golf are also close by, as are a number of excellent restaurants, cafes and bars.

Set within grounds of 3 acres, the Villa Fiesole luxury villa rental in Tuscany is accessed by a beautiful, winding country road, then through a remote control gate and up an ancient cypress lined driveway. There are wonderful views over the undulating countryside and the surrounding vineyards, olive and fruit trees, landscaped with many varieties of flowers and herbs. There are three outdoor terraces, furnished for sitting and relaxing and enjoying the views, or dining outdoors. The first, at the entrance to the house, has a sitting area and panoramic views, the second is a large pergola with a marble table in the rear garden with a sitting and dining area with barbecue, and the third is by the large swimming pool (16 x 5m) with sitting area and covered outdoor dining area, furnished with teak table and chairs, and again offering wonderful views. A spa pool has also been recently added to the pool terrace. 3 Gandia Blasca Chaise Lounges lay by the pool.

The interiors have been restored with much attention to detail, retaining the original Tuscan character, but adding an international eclectic style. The rooms are furnished with antiques and some contemporary pieces. Amenities include satellite television, DVD, CD player, phone, fax and wi-fi internet access, and individual room controlled central heating. There is air conditioning in all five bedrooms and three of them also have remote controlled ceiling fans. The villa is ideal for both couples and families as both the second and fourth bedrooms can be converted into large queen/kingsize beds. All the bathrooms are also equipped with hairdryers, bathrobes and heated towel rails. Further amenities include a high end exercise bicycle, weights and 2 yoga mats. The housekeeper will also cook breakfast, lunch and dinner, if required, at extra charge. A driver can be arranged for those who want to go into Florence regularly. Guided tours of the area, including half or full day trips to Florence, Siena, Montepulciano or Arezzo, can also be arranged as well as a night safari, rowing on the Arno, tennis and golf.
