Demide

Welcome to Demide, a luxurious 4-bedroom Tuscan villa, nestled among 10 acres of woodland, tranquil olive groves and bountiful fruit trees. Less than 30 minutes from the beautiful city of Florence, the property benefits from all the amenities of the nearby city such as fine dining restaurants, famous museums and great shopping, while still offering a tranquil Italian countryside escape. The property's interiors offer a tasteful balance of elegant interior design with luxurious comforts to satisfy the needs of even the most discerning guests.

The villa's private location offers you the chance to completely immerse yourself in the tranquillity of rural Tuscany. The manicured, fully fenced garden and generous swimming pool are where you are bound to spend much of your afternoons, relaxing in style. Soak up the Italian sun poolside on one of the sun loungers followed by an invigorating swim to cool off. The large terrace to the front of the house provides breathtaking views of the surrounding hillside. Why not have our concierge service organise an intimate dinner for you to enjoy al fresco, sipping on some local wine, watching the sun set over the rolling hills, with the lights of the far off villages twinkling on the horizon. It is hard to imagine a more spectacular backdrop for your romantic dinner.

Demide's elegant interiors are on par with the surrounding natural beauty of the landscape. The rooms have been stylishly decorated, using a tasteful blend of expensive materials including marble and rich wood, combined with antique furniture and contemporary wallpaper. The unparalleled scenery can be enjoyed from every room in the house from the large windows which flood the living spaces with light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. The ground floor boasts several communal spaces for you and your guests to sit and unwind including a living room with a fireplace, a formal dining and breakfast room, each exuding luxurious elegance and featuring impeccable design. The fully equipped kitchen opens directly onto a shaded patio, allowing you to fully enjoy the indoor-outdoor style of living.

The nearby city of Florence is a must-visit for any traveller's first time in Italy. The exquisite city has much to offer in terms of art and architecture. Once home to many notable Renaissance artists, some of their finest works are still available to see in the city today. At the Accademia Gallery, you can marvel at the Michelangelo masterpiece, the statue of David or spend the afternoon strolling through the Uffizi Gallery. Wandering through the city's narrow streets you are bound to pass many architectural marvels such as Basilica Santa Maria, Pitti Palace and Ponte Vecchio. With many narrow alleyways to explore and medieval stone bridges to traverse, it is safe to say Florence is a city best navigated on foot, so be sure to add a comfortable pair of walking shoes to your Italy packing list.

Perfect for guests looking to immerse themselves in nature without forgoing their sophisticated comforts, Villa Demide offers the peaceful feeling of country living with the refined elegance of a country home. Book your Italian escape today for a holiday of a lifetime.
