Historic Dante's Manor, 5 Bdr Villa, Pool, Garden, Jacuzzi, AC, 5 min Florence

The Villa is perfect for a large family holiday with easy access to Florence.Peiris the house keeper is great addition and facilitated everything we required.

Beautiful Villa, clean, neat, beds were very comfortable, nice gardens and beautiful views. Wonderful restaurant recommendations bu Monica and sincerely appreciated all the information prior to arrival. Cooking class was top notch and very enjoyable. Peiris was extremely helpful and every conceivable situation….9 of us in our group and we all voted peiris as the best thing about the Villa !

Fantastic historical property of Dante's family. Staff was fantastic, made us breakfast, took care of us, got us rides and groceries. Beautiful view of Florence and the Duomo from the main villa where the owner lives. The property is actually 2 attached villas

Wonderful property and service

Unbelievable property & the butler Peiris was so accommodating & kind. Don’t hesitate to book this absolute gem !!

We stayed at this place with the group of friends in April. The villa is gorgeous. Planty of space. It is in a very prestige area of Florence, very quite, but still a 10-15 ride back to all the attractions. Tons of space outdoor. Pool, a bunch of other amenities. Special thanks to Peiris for taking care of us during the stay. Monica was a pleasure to work with on all the planning. She organized a catering for us (which was awesome) at the night of arrival. Truly a very memorable experience for the whole group

The property is astounding. Gorgeous, large garden with a lovely pool. The house is just beautiful and perfect with 5 bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms. It worked really, really well for our family. Nearby on-site houseman was super helpful and made things very easy for us. It was a 15-minute walk to bus stop to Florence city center. We just loved it.

The house is beautiful, spacious and well situated. In addition, Peiris, the housekeeper, was warm, professional and helpful. However, there were issues with communication from the bus mgr. Weddings: During our stay, there were 2-3 weddings every week. On those days, there was noise in the evenings, sometimes past 1am. The noise in the living area and some of the bedrooms was OK. However some bedrooms faced the wedding side &those rooms had issues.This was not disclosed prior to booking & felt like something that should have been in the VRBO write up. Surprise Agreement:3.5 weeks into our stay, the bus mgr forwarded an additional rental agreement. It was a modified longer term contract with inaccurate information and parts that weren’t applicable to us. The big surprise was a requirement to pay for electricity which was not part of our original understanding &, as we found out, could be thousands of $’s. We told her that it wasn’t reasonable & the mgr eventually relented on the request to pay for the electricity. We ultimately left without signing but not before wasting time attempting to mark up the document. Bad Tour: The bus mgr arranged a Cinque Terre boat tour that didn’t go to Cinque Terre but instead just toured the nearby commercial harbor. Instead of the original boat for 7 in the photo, we were in 2 dinghies not fit for purpose & promised things didn’t happen (drinks & eng speakers on both boats, boats staying together, light lunch, etc.) Disappointing experience

We traveled with 9 family members for 9 days over christmas to New Years Day. We were totally delighted with the home which is perfectly located and is better than depicted in the photos. The common rooms are beautiful including a gracious dining table large enough for our large family to enjoy some formal holiday dinners under a beautiful Venetian chandelier. The kitchen is well equipped which allowed us to cook a multi course Christmas dinner together , (only suggestions would be better chef knives) The 5 ensuite bedrooms allowed every member of our party to enjoy beautiful, well appointed rooms with comfortable beds and extraordinary views of the Florentine hills. Monica, the house manager, was extremely helpful and hospitable: shopping for our arrival, arranging our in house chefs for our dinner on Christmas Eve, arranging for transportation for our two excursions to Siena and to Capezzana., offering great restaurant suggestions and making reservations for us at restaurants that are popular with the local people,(which honestly would not have been possible without her help for 9 people!) and generally making our stay as seamless and enjoyable as possible. She is a gem! I would not hesitate to recommend this extraordinary property to friends. I hope we can come back someday!

It is a lovely property with wonderful grounds in a stunning yet convenient location for Florence and beyond. We were travelling to watch our son race at Mugello circuit each day and that was straightforward (he won the World Championship!!)

Incredible property. Pictures do not reflect true size and beauty of the large villa and property. On site staff is wonderful and very helpful with taxi and dinner reservations. Not to mention a great American breakfast occasionally. Can’t wait to go back with our 8 friends.
