- "Great location to the views of Florence! Easy walking to the city center. The villa was very clean, and the caretaker Robert, was helpful at check in. Beds were comfortable, and the shower pressure was wonderful! Would highly recommend! " - "We needed a place for three couples, and the house on Via Michelangeolo worked beautifully for us.The house is lovely, homey and fully stocked to meet a visitors' needs. The owner's representative was on time and easy to reach when we needed help on a small item that came up. The location works well for being outside the historic district, as taxis came quickly and there are bus stops within five minutes' walk. We went in August, when the weather was very, very hot. In a milder time of year, there would be a lovely walk up to the Piazzola Michelangelo and San Miniato al Monte."

- "This is a lovely Tuscan villa with breathtaking views of the Monastery and the countryside. Nestled on a quiet, private drive, it is a wonderful place to get away and soak up the scenery. Lucia and Gilberto are wonderful hosts, who answered all our questions, helped us with all our needs. The air conditioning and pool were just wonderful during the heat of the summer. The villa was spotlessly clean and all the rooms were very comfortable. The bus stop to get into downtown Florence is just a couple of minutes walk down the driveway and an easy jaunt into historic Florence. When I am back in Tuscany, I would absolutely stay here again. Thank you for a wonderful holiday Lucia and Gilberto."

The most beautiful properties of Florence are secluded in the hills surrounding the city,
benefitting from breathtaking views of its countryside, exquisite italian historical gardens and cooler temperatures. Such is "La Magione degli Alighieri", a place of inspiration for the poet Dante Alighieri and, following his exile, home to the family of Beatrice Portinari, the woman he followed to hell and beyond in his master work, The Divine Comedy.
The villa and its gardens are set on the most well known historical road leading from Florence to Fiesole, a
ten-minutes drive from the city cathidral, and tucked behind tall stone walls with a remote-controlled gate.
World War II left the palazzo and its extensive gardens in ruin; their rescue and restoration by Count Pier Francesco Rimbotti remains one the most notable stories in the city annals. It has remained in the Rimbotti family ever since and constantly updated. The villa has been fully restored in Summer 2016 and just available for rent. The Villa appears in many books on most beautiful villas surrounding Florence.

On the ground floor, comfortably elegant sitting rooms decorated with antiques and hand-painted wall murals lie on either side of the entrance hall. Double doors from one of these lead to a panelled dining room, as suitable for six as it is for fourteen. Al fresco meals can be served in the covered verandah room or at a long table in the courtyard. The large modern kitchen is set at the rear of the house.
A beautiful curving stone staircase sweeps up to the first and second floors. Here are
distributed five spacious double bedrooms, each with a freshly renovated ensuite
bathroom and independently adjustable air-conditioning. A corner of the first floor is
occupied by a small but bright office which opens to a terrace with loungers for sunbathing. In the terrace there is a hot tub (hydromassage) for 6.
The gardens are laid out in the classic Italian style: paths lined with clipped hedges and
masses of pink hydrangeas are shaded by towering umbrella pines and punctuated by
stately cypress trees. A pretty gazebo with couches lies just beyond
the first courtyard.

- "We enjoyed our stay with our family of 8. We would highly recommend this beautiful villa. Monica was very helpful with making arrangements. We really appreciated the service that Peiris provided throughout our stay including cleaning the rooms each day. The Villa is beautiful and the property has well maintained gardens. There was a terrace and hot tub on the second floor and the pool was a great break from the heat. The Villa is close to Florence and we had several dinners in the city as well as closer to the Villa. Overall a great stay."

Florence city centre is at just 10 minutes by public bus!
You will not need a car to enjoy the city and Villa Acacia.

If you have ever been to Florence you know this is a town where “suburbs” takes on a very special meaning. Just outside the very hectic "circonvallazioni", the main arteries that lead into and out of the city center, are a host of picturesque residential areas where the aristocratic and wealthy built their spacious villas in the shade of huge umbrella pines.
Cypress trees line the narrow roads that wind upwards past olive groves and tiny vineyards, so that almost at once you forget about the noisy city you just left behind. But it’s there, visible from every curve and terrace, dominated by Brunelleschi’s inexplicable cupola and the forboding tower of Palazzo Vecchio.
What a perfect combination, to have the sights of the Renaissance city but not the smells, sounds and mayhem of 21st century Firenze!

The house is very spacious with plenty of room for a group of ten people: you can party together and enjoy your own time of privacy. The terrace on the roof, the one off the master bedroom and the side of the garden with the swimming pool have wonderful views of the city in the distance. You can see the Duomo towards South and enjoy the pleasant sights of the countryside hills in the other directions. Not to talk about sunsets…
This 17th century villa occupies a hillside on the old road to Bologna, just fifteen minutes north of the city center. It has its own 4500 square foot garden, with a swimming pool that occupies one of the natural terraces where lemon trees used to be cultivated in a great earthenware vases. Facing this side of the property is the glass-enclosed room where those trees were protected in winter; now it holds a table where six people can dine with a view of the Duomo.
At the other end of the garden is a cottage with a washing machine, dryer, iron and board, and a small WC. Also occupying the ground floor of the villa are a comfortable sitting room with couches, chairs and satellite TV, a dining room whose table can open up to accommodate sixteen people, a living room with a fireplace, armchairs and telephone. These rooms have stunning casement ceilings. Next to the dining room is a kitchen, furnished with a full fridge and freezer, oven, range top, microwave, Nespresso machine, American coffeemaker, and dishwasher. It has a table for two, and opens onto a covered pergola with dining for the entire group.
Upstairs, the spacious master bedroom has a double bed, a roomy wardrobe and a door onto a private terrace overlooking the city. Next door is a bathroom with shower and tub. Across the hall from the bathroom, a door opens onto a tiny back street, perfect for unloading bags and parking if you have more than one car.
The next two bedrooms share a balcony: one has two twin beds, the second has a full sized bed and a single bed. Then there is a suite with its own entrance, featuring a double bedroom, small kitchen and bathroom with shower.
Another flight of stairs leads up to the last bedroom, which has a double bed and a bathroom with a stall shower.
But the villa has more to offer! On the roof, reached by a comfortable flight of stairs, is a large terrace with deck chairs and one of the best views to be found for miles.
All the windows in the house have screens, the property is gated and surrounded by a wall, and in the garden is a built-in brick barbeque.
Just down the street are some small shops and only 300 yards from the door is the stop for the city bus that goes straight down to the center of town (Piazza San Marco, the bus runs about every 10 minutes and the trip Villa-San Marco takes 10-15 minutes).

- "This was just an awesome Holiday Home and everything was perfect! Mario the caretaker was there to great us to go over everything and even drove us to the local grocery store so we could get items in the house, as we did breakfast daily there, and even cooked one night. The first night we worked with Lorenzo the owner who as we were hoping to arrange to have a cook, as our group of 8 were arriving at different times, and thought it would be easier to do dinner at the villa. The food was absolutely amazing, one of the best meals we had. It included zucchini pie, lasagna, chocolate cake, fresh apricots water and wine! There is also a concierge available, named Andrea - the most awesome individual to work with. He arranged all our transfers from the Florence airport and train station for both departure and return. We also used him to arrange some trips for us. They included lunch/wine tasting in the Tuscany region, a boat excursion to Cinque Terre, visits to Lucca, Pisa, Siena and San Gimignano. I highly recommend you take advantage of his services and also for the tours ask if he can get Francesca as your drive, she is an absolute delight. We did not have a car and easy to get a taxi or Uber to take us into Florence for dinner and shopping, which is not more than 10 - 15 minutes to city center. The villa is just great, as all the bedrooms are air conditioned, and more than enough bathrooms and bedrooms for our two families. Also the views from the villa were spectacular."

- "Doreen and Anna's generosity and warmth made a beautiful location a even more wonderful stay for my daughter and family! Thank you!" - "We had such a wonderful stay at this apartment Villa. The property is absolutely beautiful and the hosts were the BEST and most kind hosts we have ever had. We cannot wait to come back for another visit." - "Stunning views of olive groves in the foreground and Florence's Duomo in the background. Doreen and Ana were great hosts who went above and beyond to make our stay a lovely one. They even shared their freshly pressed olive oil (which had just been harvested)! This is an ideal place for someone who doesn't necessarily want to be in the center every day during their trip (perhaps for someone who has been to Florence before or if you have a long enough trip planned this time) and who is hoping to have a semblance of the bucolic quietude that one might get if staying further out into the Tuscan countryside. The apartment, itself (bottom floor of one large guesthouse), is lovely, full of character, spacious, and clean."

- "The villa was fabulous for our extended family of 8. The views are unmatched. The pool was a great respite from the summer heat. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to be on the fringe of Florence. It was also a central location for us to visit chianti - bologna and take the train to venice for the day." - "French family with 2 kids, we stayed 3 weeks in this fantastic house. The place and the view are fantastic, very clean, very quiet. The pool was very perfect for our family. A great thank you to Leonardo who took care of us during these 3 weeks. It was difficult for us to leave the place after 3 weeks."
