You can see the Duomo to the south and enjoy the pleasant view of the hilly countryside in the other directions. Not to mention the sunsets ... If you have ever been to Florence you should know that this is a city where "the periphery" takes on a very special meaning. Just outside the ring roads, the main arteries surrounding the historic center, there is a myriad of picturesque residential areas where the aristocrats and the wealthy of the time built their spacious villas in harmony with the huge "umbrella" pines that were there. . Cypress trees line the narrow streets that wrap around the old ascending olive groves and small vineyards, so that you almost immediately forget the noisy city you just left. But it is there, visible from every curve and terrace, dominated by Brunelleschi's inexplicable dome and the imposing turret of Palazzo Vecchio. What a perfect combination, having the views of the Renaissance City but not the smells, noises and hustle and bustle of 21st century Florence! This 17th century villa occupies a hillside on the old road to Bologna, just fifteen minutes north of the historic center. It has a private garden of 600 square meters, with a swimming pool that occupies one of the natural terraces where lemon trees were grown in large terracotta pots. In front of this side of the property there is the veranda: the room with huge French windows in which those trees were moved in winter; now there is a table where six people can have lunch with a view of the Duomo. At the other end of the garden there is a cottage with a washing machine, dryer, iron and ironing board and a small toilet.
