~Palazzo~
Bagno a Ripoli
Tuscany
Nearest Town:   Florence Suburb     POOL    5 Apartments
This is truly a unique and special property, a 15th Century villa on a private estate amidst olive groves, cypress and woods. It enjoys wonderful views from the grounds all the way to the Duomo and Florence, which is 6 miles away. If charm and gentile old places attract you, nothing could be better than staying in one of Palazzo’s apartments. The villa is completely fenced and gated down a 500 m. lane leading from the main street of Bagno a Ripoli, where shops, restaurants and the bus stop serving Florence are located. The autostrada exit Firenze Sud is 4 km. from the villa. Excellent access south to the Chianti Classico region.
