Description
IL Melograno can accommodate up to 11 (10+1) people or up to 14 ( by also renting the cottage) and lies nestled among the green hills of the Tuscan countryside in an historic part of Florence.
Dating back to the 14th century and situated in the Paradiso degli Alberti (I.e. Heaven of the Alberti's, family of renowned renaissance architect Leon Battista Alberti).
It was used as the hunting lodge and guest house for the main Villa, which has a wonderful Italian Garden with its beautiful mazes, where prestigious dinners or memorable birthday parties, or romantic weddings can be organised on request.
Enjoy the shared swimming pool surrounded by olive and cypress trees with squirrels and pheasants running around while being in walking distance of the main museums and architectural masterpieces of the amazing city of Florence...
...during the winter months, relax by the beautiful big Tuscan sandstone fireplace, reading a book in the cosy atmosphere reminiscent of the bygone past...
The fascinating grounds and flower garden with old terracotta flower pots scattered around and some fruit trees are reserved for guests and are part of the ancient villa called Il Melograno, with 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms (4 bathrooms + 1 guest toilet with shower), fully fitted and equipped country kitchen (cooker, oven, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, blender, coffee machine) with a dining table.
The rooms are furnished with antique furniture and paintings, so as to keep the tuscan ancient feeling of the villa. The dining room with vaulted ceilings and beautiful velvet- blue antique high chairs can accommodate up to 10 people with the possibility of adding a further table to accommodate up to 12 people.
The bedrooms are prepared as 4 queen beds and two single beds and are furnished with big wardrobes.
Wifi is provided as well as satellite tv with dvd player, and children games (monopoly, chess ...) as well as lots of history and literature books and some videos.
Towels and linen are provided !
Romantic dinners or sunny breakfast can be enjoyed in the garden under the olive trees, on the garden table and chairs provided. The communal swimmingpool offers sunloungers and an outdoor kitchen area with pizza oven and barbeue.
Within close distance of the city centre (3km to the Ponte Vecchio), yet hearing the birdsong and the joyous ringing of the Badiuzza bells and seeing the squirrels and pheasants running around.
