Among Lemons & Olives

Nestled amid the Florentine hills in Cercina, this villa is a hidden gem. Olive groves and lemon trees surround the home, along with sweeping views of the rolling countryside. A stunning leafy garden adds to the secluded vibe – you’ll feel a million miles away from the hustle and bustle in this idyll.

In fact, this dreamy home stands just fifteen minutes outside of Florence. If you don’t fancy driving into the city, you can hop on a bus from just 100 metres away. In minutes you’ll be taking in the history of the Duomo, climbing the Campanile, and admiring the collections at the Uffizi Gallery.

When you’re not exploring your surroundings, your days will be filled with sunshine and elegance. The garden is a real delight, with terraces for alfresco dining as well as a garden to sunbathe in. When the Italian sun is sizzling, slip into the private swimming pool for a dip.

Inside, you can look forward to traditional features like wooden beams and tiled floors. The home is full of charm, with windows showcasing magnificent views at almost every turn. Staying here feels like stepping back in time – you’ll live like a grand Italian family in days gone by, and love every minute of it.
