Luxury villa Lilli is one of those rare gems located just above Florence, off the old road from Florence to Bologna, yet still located only minutes from the city centre. Ideally situated in an exclusive residential area close to Florence, Villa Lilli enjoys great views over nearby Fiesole, Florence and the Tuscan countryside. Those enjoying the cultural sights and designer shopping opportunities of Florence by day may return to relax by the pool with a glass of Chianti during the evening away from the crowds. Villa Lilli is tastefully decorated with elegant furniture and warm coloured fabrics combined with original antiques and terracotta floors, lending it a homely and welcoming atmosphere. On the first floor a seating area overlooks the main living area. Though equipped with modern conveniences, the villa retains authentic features such as exposed stonework recalling the original structure. This spacious gated villa is a converted rustico and also has a gravel courtyard and two large terraces which are ideal places for dining al fresco. The outer gardens are mature and are planted with fragrant rosemary, wisteria, lavender and rose bushes creating the ideal base in which to sit and admire the picturesque views.

All those little extras which combine the independence of a villa holiday with the peace of mind of bespoke service can be pre-arranged before you arrive. From private transfers to your villa to your own professional chef, Sanctuary Villas & Apartments is able to provide that extra level of service.
