LOCATION

Villa Ione is perched along the gently sloping hillside in Florence, Italy. It is ideally located a short 3 miles from this iconic city and enjoys views across the mountains. Florence Airport is a short 20.2km in the distance which is a twenty-minute drive.

Florence is an iconic City in Italy that is famous for its art and architecture. With a vibrant past and present culture, Florence is an obligatory destination for the first-timer visitor of Italy. However, while exploring the historical centre is something that cannot be missed, the pristine studded landscapes and the enchanting medieval villages set on the famous Tuscan rolling hills surrounding Florence are well worth a visit. Staying in Villa Ione will provide you with such an experience, set in the tranquillity of the serene vineyards and olive trees

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!
