A historic property just twenty minutes from Florence, the Villa Simonetta, Florence Area, Tuscany is a two-story villa dating to the 1800s. It retains many of its original features and details, and it has been decorated to enhance that sense of the past, but has also been updated to make it a remarkable destination on its own.
The grounds of the villa are manicured and just like a private park. A tall hedge ensures total privacy, and features in the garden include a large portico where you can enjoy all of your meals in the al fresco style or simply retreat from the afternoon sun. There is another area furnished for relaxation and lounging, and the private pool has yet another terrace dotted with lounges, sun beds and areas ideal for cocktails.
The interior of the villa is a good balance to the charms outdoors. It relies on a more open floor plan than some villas and features high ceilings, elegant décor, and a lot of sunlight. Guests will appreciate the way that the rooms flow into one another, including the living room with its dual fireplaces and entertainment system, the reading room with TV, and the formal dining room. The large kitchen is also sunny and cheerful, and includes plenty of room for casual dining.
The five bedrooms of the villa are divided between the ground and first floor. One the ground floor is the king suite with an en suite bathroom. On the first floor is a king bedroom that shares a luxuriously appointed bath with the adjacent king suite. Another king suite on this floor has a private bath, and a smaller twin suite also has a private shower.
For those who want to enjoy a short walk to a nearby village or a quick car trip to Florence, while also savoring the delights of a private villa, the impressive Villa Simonetta is the ideal solution.
