    Amazing residence on the hills above Florence. Extremely quiet and private, also because the residence is in a separated building versus the main hotel and restaurant, with its own swimming pool (despite all facilities can be used by all the...

    We had a very pleasant stay at Gardenia apartment. The apartment was comfortable for 4 adults, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, though a bit dusty in the corners. The kitchen equipment was limited, but enough to prepare a quick lunch....

Guido
"Casa Bella" is an ancient villa, built in 1796, surrounded by the beautiful Florentine hills. The villa had been built by the monks of the nearby monastery of Montesenario to host the numerous pilgrims who came from Florence; at that time they had to walk a day and a half to go from Florence to this famous sanctuary. "Casa Bella" was built to allow people to sleep and eat, and the day after they could continue their journey. The location offers an oasis to relax in the beautiful countryside of Florence and it's only 17 km from the historic center of Florence. The refurbishment of this house was completed few months ago, respecting the traditions and spirit of the period in which it was built . There is a panoramic swimming pool, 14x7 meters, from which you can admire a breathtaking landscape. The pool is located next to the Villa Casabella, where the apartaments are located. The opening of the pool is subjected to the whather, please for any information write to the reception.
My name is Guido and I was born in Florence where I actually live with my wife Tiziana and our three boys. I'm a curious person with many interests, last year I became chef for passion because I love good food and as I love good wines too, I decided to study in deep this subject and I became sommelier...but I have many other interests to tell you if you come.
In our country residence you will have a great time enjoying the peace of nature and the terrific view of the hills from our infinity pool.The complex is nested in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, surrounded by olive groves and cypress trees. His position is one of the best in Tuscany because it is only few kilometers far from Florence and thanks to the centric position you could plan many excursions to wonderful cities full of art and historical monuments such as Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa, Lucca eccetera. For those who live the holiday as an opportunity to do sports they can go horseback riding, playing golf, walking trails, fishing, windsurfing and sailing or swimming in the nearby Lake of Bilancino. If you are crazy for shopping you can enjoy in the amazing Barberino designer outlet, where you can find the more important Italian fashion brand.
