Profile |
In the beginning... this was only a modest country house with annexed farm (podere), known as "Il Poderino" or "La Torre" ("The Tower"). In the 15th century it was property of the Pagnini family, then it passed to the Pini family and to the Schernini family. In 1640 the Neroni family bought the house (and owned it for centuries) and transformed it into the Villa that we can admire today. |
Villa Sestini offers an enchanting stay to guests who want to enjoy a holiday dedicated to arts, excursions, nature and sports. Immersed in the green of the olive trees, Villa Sestini is located on the beautiful hill overlooking Florence, only 15 minutes by car far from Ponte Vecchio and all the main monuments of the heart of the city. |
The lovers of equestrian sports, golf and tennis will easily practice these sports. In fact very close to Villa Sestini B&B there are: the Florentine riding-school, a golf club and various tennis courts. For the lovers of open air walks, the beautiful Vernalese wood is located close to the B&B. Unforgettable also the breakfasts with a basis of cakes and jams directly prepared by Giovanna (the owner) with the fruits of her fields... |
Last but not least, in the Italian-style garden of Villa Sestini you can enjoy the wonderful view of the whole city of Florence with the surrounding hills. The garden is the perfect place to relax, drinking a coffee, reading a book under the shadow of the cypress or olive trees or simply getting tanned in the sun... On request the breakfast can be served in the garden, under the "Pergola". |
