Large and elegant rooms, illuminated by the Tuscan sun and open onto the gardens of the historic Villa, have been added in the course of the last two centuries to the fascinating ancient wine-cellars and horse-stables. From the main terrace of Villa Ulivi, guests can easily enjoy the view of Florence and of its incomparable, unspoilt countryside. Infact, the main terrace is situated on the top of the building and it opens onto a wide view of the unique Florentine landscape, that was described by Fernand Braudel as the most exciting countryside in the world. At Villa Ulivi, furnishings have been chosen, with an eclectic taste, both among Tuscan pieces of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and from the most heterogeneous styles, creating an atmosphere that is, at the same time, classical and particular, and overall suitable for the guests who want to spend a first class charming holiday, as it is usual in the most fascinating historic Florentine Villas. During their holidays, guests also can use a private chapel for romantic religious services; on request, the best chefs can delight you with a delicious private party ... Periodically owners also organize cooking classes. Excellent wine and oil are produced at the Villa. English and French are spoken. |
