Let a country road lead you to the rural Villa dei Giardini. Set amongst three acres of cypress, olive and fruit trees, this four-bedroom semi-attached property offers both beautiful views and comfortable terraces from which to enjoy them. Although it’s secluded, it’s not isolated; the sights and amenities of Florence are only 30 minutes away.

Take in the rolling Tuscan hills from one of the home’s three terraces: one with a sitting area and panoramic views; one with sitting and dining areas, a wood burning barbecue and marble work surface with sink; and one by the pool, with a sitting area and covered dining spot. There’s also an outdoor shower for post-swim rinses. Inside, the villa has modern conveniences like central air conditioning, a computer and Wi-Fi access.

Villa dei Giardini’s interiors are airy and comfortable, with high, beamed ceilings and large windows. Traditional fireplace surrounds and terracotta floors have rustic charm, while neutral rugs and upholstery create a calm, relaxing atmosphere in the living room. The dining room features the same garden views and a large inlaid-wood table, and the bright, open-shelved kitchen has a dishwasher, tabletop grill and cheery tile backsplash.

The villa’s four bedrooms each come with air conditioning, a hairdryer and Chianti Cashmere toiletries. Two bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms: one with a king bed and the other with a twin bed and pull-out bed. A third bedroom has a queen bed and private bathroom, and the fourth bedroom has a twin bed and private bathroom. A baby crib is also available.

Villa dei Giardini is just five minutes from a grocery store, pizzeria and train station in town, and 13 km from the hospital and clinic in Fiesole. Bring your rackets for a game at the Anchetta tennis court, 7.6 km away, your workout clothes to the Four Seasons gym, 18.3 km away, or your clubs for a round at the Ugolino golf course, 22 km away. Get your fix of city life in Florence, about 18.3 km away, or take in the sun on the Forte dei Marmi beach, 131 km away.
