“I think this restored 19th-century villa, near the Boboli Gardens, stands out for its rich history and tranquil atmosphere; its location offers a genuine Florentine experience, away from the tourist frenzy, while still being close to major attractions. The advantage of free parking alone makes it a smart choice, and the unique rooms add character. It is a place with charm.”
