Villa San Felice

Luxury Villa for rent is set in one of the most scenic hills of Florence, an exclusive residence that offers all the comforts within walking distance to the city center. Stylish restoration, attention to detail, and fine finishes.

Classic Florentine Villa located on the hill of ‘Poggio Imperiale’, just a few minutes from Porta Romana, 3Km | 1,9 miles immersed in the beauty of the Tuscan countryside surrounded by olive groves, gardens, and fruit trees.

Finely restored, this stunning property provides modern luxury living in a private and tranquil context including landscaped gardens, a terrace, private parking, and a heated swimming pool. The interior furnishings of the Villa are a delightful blend of contemporary style combined with antiques. A private gated entrance, with a short white road, leads to the Villa. On the ground floor, on the right, we find a large living room with glazed doors that open onto the garden and on the terrace with a dining area, on the left we have the bright kitchen fully equipped, and an elegant dining room. The sleeping area consists of five bedrooms and five bathrooms and a study room.

A magnificent Villa of great charm close to the city center, surrounded by a lush garden with ancient Cypress trees and a stunning heated pool very well embedded into the front lawn.

The Garden

The beautiful typical Tuscan landscape of the villa’s private garden, full of fruit and olive trees, roses, century-old cypresses and pine trees, can be enjoyed throughout the villa.

The garden also looks out onto the beautiful Florentine hillside as well as Villa del Poggio Imperiale – from 1737 to 1860 this was the residence of the “Lorena” family, the Austrian Grand dukes of Tuscany. And the Arcetri observatory where Galileo Galilei continued his astronomical research after being called to Florence in 1610 by Cosimo II dei Medici can be seen as well.

Private Heated Pool

The wonderful salt-water infinity pool sits right next to the villa’s terrace and garden and comes with a full set of comfortable sun loungers.

Being wonderfully exposed to the sun all day, the pool’s water gets really warm (around 31-32 Celsius/88-90 Fahrenheit) during the summer months, while it is heated during the Spring and Fall.

Location

The villa’s location is without any doubt one of its most unique and important features. While immersed in the beauty and quietness of the typical Tuscan landscape it is located just about a mile away from Porta Romana square (where the old city walls begin), and represents the beginning of the historic district of the city of Florence. So, all of the cities’ main points of interest can be easily and quickly reached in just a few minutes either by car, taxi, bus or even on foot.

Just to name a few examples, world-renowned Ponte Vecchio (Old Bridge) and the Uffizi museum (the very “heart” of the historical district) are only about 1.9 miles away, while the main train station (Santa Maria Novella) and Piazza Del Duomo (Main cathedral) are only about 2.5 miles away.

The city center of Florence is easily accessible either by bus or car. Within walking distance from the villa, there is a bus station and a few delightful groceries stores, a bakery, a coffee shop, a restaurant-pizzeria, and a pharmacy.
