Feronia

In ancient mythology, Feronia is an Italic goddess associated with wildlife, fertility, and abundance. Villa Feronia, a stunning luxury villa set majestically on the outskirts of Florence, fully embodies those associations thanks to its rich grounds that include a pond, oak and cypress trees, bountiful olive groves, generous vineyards, and endless breathtaking views of the Renaissance city and its magnificent cathedral, The Duomo.

Villa Feronia, which dates back to 14th century and is known to have been the residence of one of the most renowned Renaissance painters, is composed of five buildings on the same estate. It can accommodate up to 38 guests, making it one of the largest villas to rent in Tuscany.

There are many treasures to discover in the surrounding areas: the famous Chianti wine region is within easy reach; the art city of Florence with its rich history, architecture and cuisine is just a 15-minute drive away; and Lucca and Siena are each less than one hour away. Villa Feronia is the place where you can feel the energies of the past and the present come together, from where you can start your day exploring Tuscany's main attractions, and where you can relax during the evening over a great glass of wine and a scrumptious local meal. The only thing you will not like is having to leave this little slice of heaven.

Located in the suburbs of Florence, with its Duomo dome visible in the distance, Villa Feronia is a wine country luxury estate. With daily continental breakfast included and where every bedroom comes with an en suite bathroom, this chic villa is a great choice for very large groups, multi-generational reunions, business retreats, celebrations and weddings. The villa has a sleek country vibe, with original and beautifully aged parquet floors and architectural details dating back to 14th century. The sense of age at this modernized property and the physical beauty of the abundant estate will stay in your memory long after you return home from your vacation. The villa may be booked entirely, or separately, depending on availability.

Famous for its art and architecture, Florence is an obligatory destination for the first-timer visitor of Italy. However, while exploring the historical center is something that cannot be missed, the pristine studded landscapes and the enchanted medieval villages set on the famous Tuscan rolling hills surrounding Florence are well worth a visit.

The most famous area to explore is the Chianti, a blessed land that covers a rather large wine-producing region of Tuscany, reaching from Florence to Siena, and all the way out to Pisa. Chianti's must see sights are the wine villages of Castellina, Radda and Gaiole. Along the road visit the Badia di Coltibuono and/or Castello di Brolio and do not forget to pick up some wine to enjoy at the villa!
