Villa Ulivi is a remarkably beautiful fifteenth century Florentine Villa immersed in a garden planted with fragrant roses and lavender- at the end of a shady horse-chestnuts lane; it is set in a residential area that both overlooks and is located few minutes away from Florence*s historic centre and shopping area- so that guests are constantly amazed at how close Villa Ulivi is to the variety of tourism activities in downtown Florence- but- at the same time- how separated it is from the hustle and bustle of the busy city. Access to downtown Florence 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 grounds of this imposing building- characterized by the Italian Villa tradition while incorporating the comforts available today- are surrounded and beautified by magnificent vineyards and olive orchards- as well as by an array of local flowers and blossoming trees. As guests enter through the large stone gate and look down the private shady lane- they will realize that they are entering a new and exciting world. Pass through the main entrance and gaze up towards the beautiful- golden- eight meter ceilings. Admire the wooden balcony and dangling chandeliers. The ancient stone wine cellar- with three rooms with vaulted roofs and fifteenth century stone frames used for socializing and taste-testing- provides a place to escape and explore the collection of over 1500 bottles. Stroll out to the back patio or enjoy a glass of Tuscan wine on the rooftop terrace. Both offer unimaginable views of the unspoilt hillside and city spread. Fernand Braudel described the Florentine landscape as- The most touching countryside in the world. Elegant lounges- open onto the gardens of the historic Villa- have been added in the course of the last two centuries to the ancient wine cellars and horse-stables.
