From our Florence villas, it's an easy journey into the city itself, a maze of terracotta-hued buildings and attractions like the Renaissance Uffizi Gallery, Accademia Gallery (home of Michelangelo's David) and the Ponte Vecchio – a medieval stone bridge dotted with shops. Couples will love the myriad of rooftop bars, offering spectacular views of the Duomo di Firenze – the best situated near the river. Guests enjoying one of our family villas in Florence will love enjoying the view, peace and freedom from their family villa, but will also enjoy the multitude of day trips on offer, with Pisa's Amusement Park Piccolo Mondo an easy drive from your villa.
In Florence, everything is a feast for the eyes and stomach, from the local Tuscan chianti and truffle-smothered everything to priceless works like Michelangelo's David and the cinematic Florentine countryside.
Love the history and culture of Italy? You're in the right place, as being the cradle of the Renaissance, home of the Medici family and a key player in Tuscany's history, Florence is dripping in historical and cultural sights. There's so much to explore from your villa on Florence, including churches like the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and Sante Croce. Walk the Ponte Vecchio, the city's most famous bridge dating back to 996, and see the enormous wealth enjoyed by the influential Medici family at the lavish Pitti Palace. Art lovers will be in their element on a Florence villa holiday and must-sees include the Strozzi Palace with its famous exhibitions and Michelangelo's David at the Accademia Gallery.
Florence is a beautiful and family-friendly destination, filled with exciting activities and sights that both parents and children will adore. Kids will enjoy learning about Florentine history at the Palazzo Vecchio, once the home of the Medici family, with the highlight being a costume room where they can dress up in Renaissance-style outfits worn by the royal family. Kids will also love the gold-dipped carousel in the city's Piazza Della Repubblica and the family-friendly Leonardo di Vinci Museum. Alternatively, head east for a fantastic family day out at the Amusement Park Piccolo Mondo – an action-packed waterpark with pools and slides. Of course, there's always spending the day unwinding in your Florence family villa with a private pool, overlooking the surrounding rolling valleys with their olive groves and vines.
While travellers flock to Florence to get lost in the city itself, it's worth noting its spectacular setting on the verge of the Chianti mountains. Adventure-loving and outdoorsy folk will love staying in our Florence villas, and there are plenty of activities in the countryside near your villa, like hiking and biking. Rent a mountain, or e-bike, and head for the rolling vine and olive grove-covered hills, before stopping for a glass of Chianti. You can also get your walking shoes and head out into the hills of cypress trees to walk the 10-kilometre route from Florence to Fiesole, a beautiful hilltop town. If you fancy a challenge in the city, climb to the top of Giotto's Bell Tower, the tallest in Florence with 414 steps.
