Hotel Information: Tranquility suffuses the hotel, an ambience appropriate to the restored villa, where 18th-century residents also sought haven from the hurly-burly of Florentine life.

Amenity highlights: A restaurant serving refined versions of Tuscan classics offers three distinct rooms for dining, including a middle section with a vaulted glass roof and a glass wall overlooking the garden courtyard. Candlelit dining in the courtyard is available in warm weather, when a bar/lounge also provides terrace seating with a view of the courtyard.
