Villa l'Acacia is set in the hills above Florence in an elevated position offering splendid views. Although it is located only a few kilometres from the historic city centre with its fine art treasures and lively atmosphere, this 17th century villa offers peace and tranquillity in a quiet residential area. Accommodating ten guests comfortably (with space for a further two at an extra charge) the villa is tastefully renovated to provide modern conveniences while retaining many original features. The beautiful and inviting garden is the perfect spot to relax in luxury.
The villa is entered through a gracious courtyard. On the main floor are two living rooms, one with fireplace, and a formal dining room. A delightful sunroom opens onto the garden and terraces via French doors. Furnishings are a comfortable combination of well-stuffed sofas and chairs and family antiques. On this floor there is also a fully equipped kitchen (dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, microwave and gas stove) and a bathroom, washing machine and utility room.
On the next floor there are four comfortably furnished bedrooms: the large master bedroom with double bed and possibility of an additional two single beds and a wonderful private balcony offering lovely views of the city, and three twin bedrooms two of which have access to a small balcony. There are two bathrooms with tub and shower on this floor. On the third floor there is another twin bedroom and bathroom and access to the small roof terrace giving great views over Florence.
There is a 8m by 4m swimming pool with large deck for taking the sun, and local shops are within comfortable walking distance.
