About this property

Renovated gorgeous villa in Florence. Walking distance to all sites.

  • *Guidelines for enhanced cleaning and disinfection are being followed to guarantee the utmost safety of our guests*
    Hidden Florence still exists! Villa Ventura is located in the most picturesque area of downtown Florence. An ancient pilgrim path takes you to Ponte Vecchio and the historical center in no time. Nestled just above San Niccolo, the oldest and most beloved district by the Florentines, you can truly enjoy the best of the countryside and the city. This luxuriously renovated three bedroom villa offers privacy, breathtaking views, terraces, gardens and a quiet hideaway. Erta Canina is part of historical Florence and the ancient monk path takes you to all sites in no time. The villa is located close to Piazzale Michelangelo and therefore it is on top of the hill, overlooking Florence. The gorgeous view of the duomo will make the steep path very worth the while. Alternatively, Ponte Vecchio is a quick taxi or bus ride away.
    For longer stays please note that we require an obligatory weekly mid cleaning which will guarantee a perfectly cleaned home for you including a change of all linen and sheets. Please inquire directly with the owner for fees and cleaning schedules which will be coordinated according to your convenience.

Beautiful Tuscan home in Florence. Our family had a wonderful Spring Break in Florence. The home is beautiful and in a quiet neighborhood with amazing views of the Tuscan hills and has everything you need and more. It’s a short walk right into Florence. Karin was a great host and very responsive and helped us arrange a return car service back to the train station.

We had a fantastic 3 week stay at Villa Ventura! It is the best of both worlds - walking distance to central Florence, while also relaxing with beautiful views of the hills. Very comfortable and well-equipped, and host Karin is very helpful and responsive. It is a special place to stay.

We loved this villa! Views were amazing! The host was wonderful and communicated with us for any need the entire time. The interior finishes were all first class with a both modern and classic villa feel. This location is perfectly situated just on the hills overlooking Florence, however is very walkable to the city. Highly recommend this location, rental and host!!

Exceptionally well appointed VRBO in Florence. Small walk up the hill but easy uphill walking distance all the major restaurants and museums. The place is an architectural masterpiece. I wish I lived here.

Even better in person!

We LOVED our stay here while in Florence! The location is the perfect blend of being close to everything but not right in the midst of the busy city. And the home and the views are just beautiful! Karin made everything so easy from arrival to departure and was quick to respond anytime we had a question. The hike up the hill may not be for the faint of heart, but its a short distance and we actually appreciated the walk after a heavy pasta dinner and multiple gelatos throughout the day. :) Thanks again for a great stay!!

The perfect place to spend our last days in Italy

Karin is the consummate host down to the very last detail. From arranging a transfer from the train station to restaurant recommendations to coffee to wine and of course the air conditioning we were pampered and felt right at home! The villa is lovely and the neighborhood charming. We walked off many great meals heading back up the hill! Thank you again Karin!

Our FAVORITE VRBO…ever!

When we travel with our adult family, we stay at VRBOs. This is BY FAR our favorite VRBO! The location is within easy walking distance of the city center of Florence. Each bedroom room was spacious and no detail was overlooked in this GORGEOUS villa! There was a dining table inside, as well as one outside on the patio. We would eat outside, as it overlooked the Tuscany region! Simply BEAUTIFUL!

Beautiful Home Close to Florence!

Karin was wonderfully helpful and made renting easy! The home is beautiful...and the path in to Florence is lovely. A little bit of a workout to return up hill to the home...but we found it a nice walk after dinner:-) It was a little challenging to get taxi services at this location- but otherwise we very much enjoyed Villa Ventura! Thank you Karin!

My family had the most incredible stay at Villa Ventura and didn’t want it to come to an end! We enjoyed the peacefulness and serenity of the beautiful Tuscan countryside and the ability to walk into the city to explore. The villa itself is amazing. Lots of natural light, clean, comfortable, and stunning. Karin was a phenomenal host. She was super responsive and provided many great recommendations in response to our many questions. We appreciated her arranging our transfer to and from the train station. We hope to return to Villa Ventura.

Gorgeous villa, amazing vistas, close to town

Villa Ventura is a magnificent property. Every detail of this property has been thought out and well-executed. We loved the modern design and cozy touches of this property. The sunset views from the lovely terrace were incredible every single night that we were there. The hot air balloons in the morning views were outstanding, too. The en-suite bathrooms were all beautiful and the beds were very comfortable. It is difficult to find a villa for rent that has such a close proximity to town. The San Niccolo neighborhood nearby has a nice bakery, a couple of small markets, a coffee shop, good restaurants, wine bars, pizza places, etc. And it is a quick walk to (and across) the Arno River from there. That said, it is a fairly steep walk up back up the hill to the villa. (We did it at least twice a day so it is definitely doable,) We are already making plans to go back to this delightful find. The communication with the owners was exemplary! They are just great.

Karin, was extremely helpful as a host. If we had any questions she responded immediately. The house was very clean. If you are looking for a house with a great view of Florence just outside of the City Center this is perfect. The patio off the main floor is a great place to enjoy morning coffee. The only thing guests would want to be aware of is that the walk back to the Villa is up a pretty good hill on the street that leads to town. Cabs are very easy to access as an easy alternative.

This property is amazing close enough to town without being in the middle of all the craziness yes as others have said there is a steep hill to walk to and from town we didn’t mind it much it at all we took our time and enjoyed the view. There is a cute wine window in the town at the bottom of the hill we enjoyed The house it self is beautiful modern and updated just know that the primary bedroom is on the third floor there is an elevator but they ask that you try not to use it unless it’s necessary we really didn’t mind if you are use to stairs it’s fine The host is very responsive with requests she helped arrange transport to and from the train station & the driver took us right to the front door Others have mentioned the guards outside at times for one of the neighbors we actually enjoyed having them there All in all we would stay at this place again we had no complaints

The residence was fantastic! It was spotless when we arrived and were permitted to drop our luggage off early. It was only a short but beautiful walk (although warning it is steep!) to all the historical points of Florence. We traveled it at least daily. The neighborhood is quiet at night and very peaceful. The house is well decorated, comfortable, and modern in every way. The host was always available to answer questions and did come to greet us personally when we arrived. We will definitely return here for our next trip to Italy!!!
