Description

Villa Simonetta was built in 1800 and has been just recently very tastefully restored back to its former glory by its owners. From the classic detailed exteriors to the romantic elegant interiors, Villa Simonetta exudes comfort and sophistication.

Every elegant room of this villa has an individual character and charm. The chic open-plan living room features two fireplaces, several tastefully upholstered sofas where to relax, read, watch TV, or hold a pleasant conversation among friends. A generous dining table that comfortably sits up to 10 people is provided in the adjacent space. The morning sun is dominant in these east-facing rooms thanks to four large windows that let the natural light in. Separate reading room with large screen TV. A fully equipped kitchen, the laundry room with washer and dryer, a guest bathroom complete this floor.

The portico hosts a dining table for friends and family to gather for breakfast or for meals al fresco and it shades the seating area from the hot Tuscan sun. A comfortable lounge area is set among 4,000 sqm of private park, surrounded by a privacy fence of shrubbery, perfect for shady relaxing time or for sipping a glass of bubbly prosecco wine.

Another lounge area is available near the private swimming pool and it sets the tone for relaxation and sunbathing in style.

You will be totally enchanted by Villa Simonetta, not only for its elegant style and easy comfort, but also for its location, perfect for day trips!

Area description

Florence is famous for its history: a centre of medieval European trade and finance and one of the wealthiest cities of the time, it is considered the birthplace of the Renaissance, and has been called "the Athens of the Middle Ages". A turbulent political history includes periods of rule by the powerful Medici family, and numerous religious and republican revolutions. From 1865 to 1871 the city was the capital of the recently established Kingdom of Italy. The Historic Centre of Florence attracts millions of tourists each year, and Euromonitor International ranked the city as the world's 89th most visited in 2012, with 1.8 million visitors. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982. The city is noted for its culture, Renaissance art and architecture and monuments. The city also contains numerous museums and art galleries, such as the Uffizi Gallery and the Palazzo Pitti, and still exerts an influence in the fields of art, culture and politics. Due to Florence's artistic and architectural heritage, it has been ranked by Forbes as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Florence is an important city in Italian fashion, being ranked in the top 50 fashion capitals of the world; furthermore, it is a major national economic centre, as a tourist and industrial hub. In 2008, the city had the 17th highest average income in Italy.
