“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.”
