A serene escape to the timeless charm of the Tuscan countryside

Dimora Ghirlandaio includes six exclusive villas for rent in the Tuscan countryside, near Firenze.

Designed for those seeking privacy amidst stunning natural scenery, the villa is also just a short drive from other must-see destinations in Tuscany, such as Pisa, Lucca, Siena, and Arezzo.

A CLOSER LOOK AT VILLA GHIRLANDAIO

Placed at the heart of the estate, Villa Ghirlandaio retains its historically refined elegance thanks to a careful restoration that preserved its original appearance. The expansive façade, with its windows framed in pietra serena stone and the double staircase leading down to the garden, is typical of Renaissance villa architecture: charming, comfortable country abodes designed to welcome artists and noblemen who came here to spend their holidays.

GROUND FLOOR

On the ground floor of Villa Ghirlandaio, a vast hall with a decorative fireplace offers a comfortable space with soft sofas. The warm hues of the wooden floor harmonize with the pastel walls, lit by natural light pouring from windows that open onto the outer terrace. A magnificent coffered ceiling in the Renaissance style adds to the room’s charm. The hall leads to a large dining room with a fireplace, a fully-equipped kitchen and one king size bedroom. The two-tone pattern of the kitchen floor alternates Bardiglio and Carrara marble. The walls are adorned with geometric trompe-l’oeil decorations that endow all the rooms with timeless grace.

TOP FLOOR

On the top floor, there are three double bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom trimmed in precious marble of different colors. The whitewashed walls make for a bright and warm atmosphere, highlighted by the durmast wood floors. A standout feature of each room is a magnificent view of the beautiful gardens surrounding Dimora Ghirlandaio and the landscape of rolling hills, woods, and silver-hued olive groves.

Dovecote

On the third level of Villa Ghirlandaio, just above the southern pitch of the roof, stands the ancient dovecote, now the villa’s most exclusive room. From this vantage point, a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape unfolds, showcasing a magnificent variety, from the gentle hills to the mountaintops that, in winter, are often blanketed in snow. Most striking of all is the stunning view of Firenze, from the Certosa Monastery to the extraordinary Cupola designed by Filippo Brunelleschi for the Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral.
