5 Bedroom Villa in Florence, Firenze

Florence city centre is at just 10 minutes by public bus!
You will not need a car to enjoy the city and Villa Acacia.
If you have ever been to Florence you know this is a town where “suburbs” takes on a very special meaning. Just outside the very hectic "circonvallazioni", the main arteries that lead into and out of the city center, are a host of picturesque residential areas where the aristocratic and wealthy built their spacious villas in the shade of huge umbrella pines.
Cypress trees line the narrow roads that wind upwards past olive groves and tiny vineyards, so that almost at once you forget about the noisy city you just left behind. But it’s there, visible from every curve and terrace, dominated by Brunelleschi’s inexplicable cupola and the forboding tower of Palazzo Vecchio.
What a perfect combination, to have the sights of the Renaissance city but not the smells, sounds and mayhem of 21st century Firenze!
The house is very spacious with plenty of room for a group of ten people: you can party together and enjoy your own time of privacy. The terrace on the roof, the one off the master bedroom and the side of the garden with the swimming pool have wonderful views of the city in the distance. You can see the Duomo towards South and enjoy the pleasant sights of the countryside hills in the other directions. Not to talk about sunsets…
This 17th century villa occupies a hillside on the old road to Bologna, just fifteen minutes north of the city center. It has its own 4500 square foot garden, with a swimming pool that occupies one of the natural terraces where lemon trees used to be cultivated in a great earthenware vases. Facing this side of the property is the glass-enclosed room where those trees were protected in winter; now it holds a table where six people can dine with a view of the Duomo.
At the other end of the garden is a cottage with a washing machine, dryer, iron and board, and a small WC. Also occupying the ground floor of the villa are a comfortable sitting room with couches, chairs and satellite TV, a dining room whose table can open up to accommodate sixteen people, a living room with a fireplace, armchairs and telephone. These rooms have stunning casement ceilings. Next to the dining room is a kitchen, furnished with a full fridge and freezer, oven, range top, microwave, Nespresso machine, American coffeemaker, and dishwasher. It has a table for two, and opens onto a covered pergola with dining for the entire group.
Upstairs, the spacious master bedroom has a double bed, a roomy wardrobe and a door onto a private terrace overlooking the city. Next door is a bathroom with shower and tub. Across the hall from the bathroom, a door opens onto a tiny back street, perfect for unloading bags and parking if you have more than one car.
The next two bedrooms share a balcony: one has two twin beds, the second has a full sized bed and a single bed. Then there is a suite with its own entrance, featuring a double bedroom, small kitchen and bathroom with shower.
Another flight of stairs leads up to the last bedroom, which has a double bed and a bathroom with a stall shower.
But the villa has more to offer! On the roof, reached by a comfortable flight of stairs, is a large terrace with deck chairs and one of the best views to be found for miles.
All the windows in the house have screens, the property is gated and surrounded by a wall, and in the garden is a built-in brick barbeque.
Just down the street are some small shops and only 300 yards from the door is the stop for the city bus that goes straight down to the center of town (Piazza San Marco, the bus runs about every 10 minutes and the trip Villa-San Marco takes 10-15 minutes).

Summary: The Villa is exactly as advertised. It is not new and does not try to be, but it is well maintained and if anything did not work, Lorenzo dealt with it immediately.Mario (who helps Superhost, Lorenzo) met us when we arrived at the Villa, gave some guidance on the accommodation, explained how the sorting and collection of trash worked and then took four of us to the store for a preliminary shop! He not only took us to the store, he helped us find things there too.Over the course of the entire month of March, we hosted several groups of friends and family. The five bedrooms are all large and the four and a half bathrooms well equipped. The beds are all very comfortable.The Welcome Dinners were wonderful. The served dinners provided to us on three separate occasions were always tailored to the needs of our guests.The 25 bus is a godsend. Either Google Maps or the local bus company app both helped us get to the stops in time to take the bus into Florence, which is 10-15 minutes journey time. Bus tickets can be purchased at The Bar 10 mins walk down the hill at La Lastra also a deli and the post office with a Bancomat, ATM, cash machine.)Andrea, the concierge and his drivers were also terrific. They were always on time and very careful. Andrea also arranged several different wine tastings and walking tours in Florence for us and a cooking class in a town about an hour distant.We could not have asked for a better stay.

Summary: We loved our time here!! As a large family group, we still had room to spread out comfortably and enjoy our closeness. As an elegant space, it still felt very homey. Lorenzo, Mario, and Andrea all helped us enormously, especially when we hit some snags in our plans. They were unfailingly polite and went out of their way to take care of things. The setting and grounds were gorgeous, even better than expected. It’s very out-of-the-way, which is one reason I chose it, so extremely quiet - more than one person described it as “idyllic”!

Summary: This property was reserved for a vacation for a family of eight. It was the first trip taken since my father, the patriarch of the family, had passed away. Our youngest son is stationed in Italy and we looked upon this adventure as a trip of a lifetime, being the first venture overseas for many of our group. Being all together on one property was important to us and I must say that this property exceeded our expectations. The property owner, Lorenzo, and property manager, Mario, were wonderful. I didn’t feel rushed through the arrival process, which ensured we were comfortable and not left to figure things out with no guidance. The villa itself was amazing and we were grateful for the history provided for the property. The grounds afforded privacy. Rooms were spacious. Bathrooms were plentiful. The kitchen is small, but I didn’t go to Florence to cook. The views were breathtaking. It was a short walk to a bus to many amusements - or whatever we wanted to do! I highly recommend the bespoke dinner prepared by Lorenzo’s chef - in our case, his wife. If offered, I recommend the carrot side dish. We also reserved tours led by a private guide reserved through Andrea Bassetti, a personal concierge. Our guide was Marco, who had extensive knowledge of art and steered us through the days. Our time in Florence was enhanced, not only by the amazing villa in which we stayed, but also by the attention we received from Lorenzo and team.

Summary: This was a wonderful home. Spacious and elegant, full of Italian charm. Mario the manager was so charming and helpful. You were a short taxi ride to the center of Florence. It was a great place for our large family to visit around Tuscany yet come back to cook and hangout. Superior!

Summary: We absolutely loved our stay at the Villa Acacia. Lorenzo was the perfect host; professional, quickly responded to our questions, and very friendly. We highly recommend a custom bespoke Italian dinner at the Villa as well as a welcome dinner. Many thanks to the properties Caretaker, Mario. He took us to the supermarket, not once but twice, and shopped the isles with us. He has a very good command of the English language. And many thanks to the concierge, Andrea. He arranged for our transport to and from Rome and Florence. He also arranged for our day trip to Siena and Chianti, where we had a tour of a winery with a lovely lunch/wine-tasting on the terrace overlooking a majestic view. The villa is rich with old world charm. It is situated on the hills, overlooking Florence city center. The Villa is very well-maintained both inside and outside. The nearby bus was not running while we were there, but we had no problems getting a taxi within 10 minutes. Five ⭐️

Summary: This was just an awesome Holiday Home and everything was perfect! Mario the caretaker was there to great us to go over everything and even drove us to the local grocery store so we could get items in the house, as we did breakfast daily there, and even cooked one night. The first night we worked with Lorenzo the owner who as we were hoping to arrange to have a cook, as our group of 8 were arriving at different times, and thought it would be easier to do dinner at the villa. The food was absolutely amazing, one of the best meals we had. It included zucchini pie, lasagna, chocolate cake, fresh apricots water and wine! There is also a concierge available, named Andrea - the most awesome individual to work with. He arranged all our transfers from the Florence airport and train station for both departure and return. We also used him to arrange some trips for us. They included lunch/wine tasting in the Tuscany region, a boat excursion to Cinque Terre, visits to Lucca, Pisa, Siena and San Gimignano. I highly recommend you take advantage of his services and also for the tours ask if he can get Francesca as your drive, she is an absolute delight. We did not have a car and easy to get a taxi or Uber to take us into Florence for dinner and shopping, which is not more than 10 - 15 minutes to city center. The villa is just great, as all the bedrooms are air conditioned, and more than enough bathrooms and bedrooms for our two families. Also the views from the villa were spectacular.

Summary: My family and I had the pleasure of staying here for a week and we had the most marvelous time. Lorenzo was very easy to work with and was very communicative. As he promised, Mario greeted us upon arrival at the villa and gave us a very thorough tour and even sold us bus tickets to help get us started!! I requested that a few items be in the villa and Mario purchased exactly what we needed and wanted. The villa is spacious and very comfortable. The pool is very near the villa and was exactly what the four of us needed after fun filled days of walking around and exploring. In addition to the amazing accommodations and spectacular service, Andrea, the concierge, made our trip one to remember. He made all of our dinner reservations, organized for us to be picked from the train station (we started in Rome), arranged for day trips to Lucca, Pisa and Siena (all of which I highly recommend), reserved a time for me and my daughter to have a cooking class with Sandra and helped us get to our next location. This was my first time in Florence so I had A LOT of questions and he responded quickly and kindly to all of my emails. The team of Lorenzo, Mario and Andrea can not be beat!! If you are in Florence staying here and meeting these incredible people is a must!

Summary: Fantastic!!!! From the 1st day we contacted Lorenzo to the last night of our stay everything was perfect!!!. The house and its location were great, with amazing views of Florence. Andrea the concierge was such a huge help arraigning day trips for us and transportation. Everything went smooth and easy. Mario, that greeted us at the house couldn't have been nicer, he even drove us to the supermarket and helped us find all the supplies we needed for the house. Lorenzo had suggested having a Chef cook us a meal at the house. We chose our last night for this meal, little did we know that Lorenzo himself would be helping the Chef and serving us our dinner. The food was AMAZING and the service was impeccable!! Recommend this Villa highly and would return!!!

Summary: We cannot say enough about how wonderful this place is! The beauty will take your breath away!!!! It’s very convenient to get to town. You truly don’t need a car. Even if you have a car you won’t use while you’re there. Lorenzo was a wonderful property owner who helped arranged everything little detail and convenience for us. His property caretaker Mario was one of the sweetest human beings we have met and we enjoyed his help tremendously! This place was worth every single penny!
