Villa Ulivi
Via Bolognese 163, 50139 - Florence (Italy)
Villa Ulivi is a remarkably beautiful and luxurious 15th century Florentine Villa located few minutes away from Florence's historic city centre, its main monuments and the shopping area.
The imposing building, characterized by the Italian Villa tradition while incorporating modern comforts, is set in a residential hilltop area that overlooks and is extremely close to the town’s attractions.
Access to down town Florence is easy by either a comfortable, scenic walk or a short bus ride down the famous Via Bolognese. Villa Ulivi also has partnerships with scooter and bicycle rental companies to meet all your travel needs.
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 Ulivi is immersed in a garden planted with fragrant roses and lavender, at the end of a shady lane flanked by horse chestnuts.
Villa Ulivi offers an authentic Tuscan experience and allows for a relaxing retreat from the hustle and bustle of the nearby city centre.
