Description
Villa Oliveto bed and breakfast in Florence is a remarkably beautiful and luxurious fifteenth century Florentine Villa located few minutes away from Florence's historic city centre and from its main monuments, as well as from the shopping area, up towards the wonderful landscape of an ideal Tuscan hill. The imposing building, characterized by the Italian Villa tradition while incorporating the comforts available today, is set in a residential area that both overlooks and is extremely close to the town's attractions. Access to downtown from our Florence b&b is easily attainable by either a comfortable, scenic walk or a short bus ride down the famous Via Bolognese. Both options are simple to navigate for travelers of any age or experience level. The villa grounds are surrounded and beautified by magnificent vineyards and olive orchards, as well as an array of local flowers and blossoming trees. In spite of its central location, Villa Oliveto is immersed in a garden planted with fragrant roses and lavender, at the end of a shady horse-chestnuts' lane. Villa Oliveto in Florence offers travelers an authentic Tuscan experience and allows for a relaxing retreat from the "hustle and bustle" of the nearby city center.
