 The Hall: The entire ground floor is paved with grey and beige-toned Venetian flooring with decorative marble inserts forming geometric designs. The walls are painted a warm ivory. The honey-coloured precious onyx reception desk, lit from within giving it a transparent effect, provides an unusual touch. The light from a console and a large gilded mirror gives the small hall a special glow. |
 The Sitting Rooms: The large sitting room to the left of the entrance is divided in classical style by two Ionic columns, creating a kind of theatrical stage. The upholstery of the sofas and armchairs was woven specially at the renowned Bevilacqua factory in Venice, with floral designs in soft greys with scattered touches of cherry red on a cream-coloured background. The furniture includes two nineteenth-century consoles and a group of modern sofas coupled with antique ones to create intimate corners for conversation. By way of contrast, two cubes covered with grey crocodile skin have been placed as bases for the modern abat-jours. The stylized chandeliers are also contemporary, with Baccarat glass in the form of crystal drops. Large-sized modern paintings will also add to the environment. The sitting room on the right has an original fireplace from the period with an eighteenth-century mirror hanging above. From this sitting room, you can walk out onto the wrought iron and glass veranda - a true winter garden where breakfast will be served. |
 The Garden and Swimming Pool: The large garden in the back, giving onto the splendid panorama, slopes down to a natural park that is all part of the villa's property. The pool is surrounded by a carpet of grass and a paved area with chaise lounges and tables for the small outdoor pool bar, which also serves meals. Should you wish to stroll, you can follow the path lined with bamboo that winds among the laurel, cypress, and olive trees, among the arbutus berry plants and irises. At various points along the way, pleasant areas have been cleared where you can sit down to relax or read on the garden seats - all in an idyllic country atmosphere. The garden is lit at night to particularly scenic effect. The pool, looking out over the entire city of Florence, is divided into a number of levels with waterfalls, aquatic plants and an unusually large whirlpool that can accommodate 20 people. |
 Onice Restaurant: Two very large arched glass doors lead from the garden to the Onice Restaurant. Beneath the barrel vault ceiling, comfortable seats and settees in elegant grey, ivory and cream satin with cherry red touches are placed around the small glass and crocodile tables. |
 Onice Lounge: the bar area is highlighted by the very light honey-coloured onyx bar on a transparent base lit from within, which juts out at the centre creating a perfect space for guests to meet and socialize. A large screen can be seen in the middle of the back wall where images are projected. Last but not least among the furnishings are the beechwood settees and small leather benches in two tones of grey arranged around the tables. And of course, there is an intriguing background of lounge music. |
