Situated in the open countryside just outside Florence, La Florenza is a cozy hideway, completely and lovingly restored into a beautiful and comfortable holiday home featuring Tuscan antiques and ceramics. This lovely stone house is part of a large estate, which includes a 17th century villa. The property is ideal for families and couples who wish to visit Florence and the nearby Tuscan towns as well as relax in the beautiful countryside just outside the city center. Larger groups can also rent the nearby Vittoria (which sleeps 8).
A warm terracotta tile floor, original exposed stonewalls and wooden beam ceilings invite you into La Florenza's living room. The living room is adjacent to the fully equipped, spacious kitchen, perfect for relaxing with wine around its cozy fireplace. Or if you prefer, walk out of the kitchen and directly into La Florenza's large and peaceful private garden. Surrounded by olive trees and equipped with a sun terrace with lounge furniture, the garden is ideal for barbecues. Upstairs you'll find a beautiful queen bedroom and one king/twin bedroom (both rooms share a bathroom) with lovely features such as large, gorgeous arched windows opening onto the surrounding vineyards.
La Florenza offers the use of a shared swimming pool located next to the property, in the garden of the estate. Private parking and barbecue are provided. Nearby you can enjoy an 18-hole golf course or horseback riding—or, of course, you can visit Florence, which is practically at your doorstep!

Additional Information
What to do in the Florence region of Tuscany?
Surrounded by hills, Florence rises on the banks of the Arno River. One of the greatest art centers of Italy, Florence is home to the Accademia, where you can view Michelangelo's David, as well as the Uffizi gallery, arguably the most important art gallery in the world. Tour the cathedral with its pink, white and green marble façade and marvel at its remarkable Duomo by Brunelleschi and the gold Paradise door of the Baptistry. Continue to the Piazza della Signoria, the political heart of Florence since the 1300s, then stroll the charming shops of Ponte Vecchio. Florence offers some of Italy's best shopping—textiles, leather goods, fashion, jewelry and ceramics are all specialties. There is nothing like enjoying a morning coffee and truffle panini at the celebrated Procacci bar before setting out for a serious morning of shopping in Via Tournabuoni. Scour the Gucci, Armani and Yves Saint Laurent outlets on the outskirts of the city.
For those wishing to explore some of Tuscany's other treasures, Florence is an ideal base of operations. Tuscany stretches along the western coast of Italy from the Apennines to the Tyrrhenian Sea—one of the best ways to see the region is by automobile. The small fortress cities are within easy driving distance of one another, and each offers its own special appeal, from San Gimignano to Pienza. Other cities to include in your excursion are Arezzo, with its grand plaza and Roman amphitheater, Lucca, with its olive groves and impressive Renaissance walls, and seaside resorts like Viareggio, Elba, and Forte de Marmi.
Siena and Pisa, both also important art cities, are also not to be missed. Siena is a beautifully preserved medieval city, constructed of checkerboard brick, and crowned by its Duomo. It was the seat of the Ghibellines who often crossed swords with the Florentine Guelfs during the 13th century. Other highlights of Siena include the beautiful Piazza del Campo, and the tower rising from the Palazzo Pubblico. A day trip to the lovely ancient city of Pisa is also a must, where you can see the famous leaning tower, and much more.
