Feronia Villa

Welcome to Feronia Villa, a beautiful and expansive 19-bedroom villa in Tuscany. In ancient mythology, Feronia is an Italic goddess associated with wildlife, fertility, and abundance. Villa Feronia, a stunning luxury villa set majestically on the outskirts of Florence, fully embodies those associations thanks to its rich grounds that include a pond, oak and cypress trees, bountiful olive groves, generous vineyards, and endless breath-taking views of the Renaissance city and its magnificent cathedral, The Duomo. Villa Feronia, which dates to the 14th century and is known to have been the residence of one of the most renowned Renaissance painters, is composed of five buildings on the same estate. It can accommodate up to 38 guests, making it one of the largest villas to rent in Tuscany.

This is a city that is surrounded by nature like no other. Cross the Ponte Vecchio and the river Arno in the Oltrarno district, home to cobblestone piazzas, chill cafes, and artisans plying centuries-old trades. You can take a leisurely walk along the riverside, explore exquisite gardens laid out in the Renaissance, or wind around cypress-studded hills. You will be adorned with magnificent views of the city and its famous dome. Florence itself is like a work of art, unique and beautiful.

There are many treasures to discover in the surrounding areas: the famous Chianti wine region is within easy reach; the art city of Florence with its rich history, architecture, and cuisine is just a 15-minute drive away; and Lucca and Siena are each less than one hour away. Villa Feronia is the place where you can feel the energies of the past and the present come together, from where you can start your day exploring Tuscany’s main attractions, and where you can relax during the evening over a great glass of wine and a scrumptious local meal. The only thing you will not like is having to leave this little slice of heaven.

Each building features a living area, a fully equipped kitchen, and spacious common interiors, all designed to facilitate comfortable gatherings for cooking, dining, and relaxing. The elegant rooms are meticulously decorated, striving to achieve a simple elegance, typical of the chic Tuscan country style in which less is more.

Famous for its art and architecture, Florence is an obligatory destination for the first-timer visitor to Italy. However, while exploring the historical center is something that cannot be missed, the pristine studded landscapes and the enchanted medieval villages set on the famous Tuscan rolling hills surrounding Florence are well worth a visit.

The most famous area to explore is the Chianti, a blessed land that covers a rather large wine-producing region of Tuscany, reaching from Florence to Siena, and all the way out to Pisa. Chianti's must-see sights are the wine villages of Castellina, Radda, and Gaiole. Along the road visit the Badia di Coltibuono and/or Castello di Brolio and do not forget to pick up some wine to enjoy at the villa!
