Pros

Shady patio area for breakfast and evening drinks

Located in a quiet residential district with 19th-century villas

Close to the eccentric Museo Stibbert and Russian orthodox church

Walking distance to Giardini dell'Orticultura with its 18th-century greenhouse

Cons

1.5 miles from major attractions like Pitti Palace

Limited dining options within immediate vicinity

“Relais Villa Antea presents a compelling contrast: a quiet residential setting within easy reach of Florence's iconic attractions. I'm particularly drawn to the blend of antique furnishings and modern bathrooms, an approach that respects history without sacrificing comfort. Add to that personalized breakfasts and genuinely attentive service, and it's clear why guests return.”
