Profile


 
Villa Ulivi is a beautiful fifteenth century Florentine Villa located few minutes away from Florence's historic city centre by car and from its main monuments, as well as from the shopping area, up towards the wonderful landscape of an ideal Tuscan hill. Piazza della Libertà is approximately 2 km far: access to downtown Florence is attainable by either a scenic walk or a short bus ride down the famous Via Bolognese.
 
With vineyards and olive orchards that beautify the grounds, Villa Ulivi allows for a relaxing retreat from the hustle-and-bustle of the nearby city centre. Villa Ulivi is located in a prestigious residential area of Florence, close to the centre and to the main monuments and attractions.
 
"For centuries Florence has been celebrated for her villa clad hills. According to an old chronicler, the country houses were more splendid than those in town, and stood so close - set among their olive orchards and vine-yards that the traveller thought himself in Florence three leagues before reaching the city. "Edith Wharton.
 
As guests enter through the large stone gate and look down the private shady lane, they will realize that they are entering a new and exciting world. Pass through the main entrance and gaze up towards the beautiful, golden, eight meter ceilings. Admire the wooden balcony and dangling chandeliers.
 
Stroll out to the back patio or enjoy a glass of Tuscan wine on the rooftop terrace. Both offer unimaginable views of the unspoilt hillside and city spread. Fernand Braudel described the Florentine landscape as, "The most touching countryside in the world."
 
This grand Villa captures traditional Tuscan style and atmosphere with the benefit of modern amenities. At Villa Ulivi, furnishings have been chosen with a careful eclectic taste. Tuscan pieces from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries create an atmosphere that is classical, authentic and most of all relaxing.
