Florbianca is a wonderful contemporary retreat for four, tucked away among the historic buildings in the heart of Florence. The villa boasts magnificently picturesque views of the iconic Ponte Vecchio bridge and Uffizi Gallery, tempting guests down into the charming Medieval streets where Renaissance architecture and gourmet dining opportunities await at every turn.

Enjoy enchanting riverside walks beside the Arno that deliver you to attractions like the regal Palazzo Pitti and Boboli Gardens, the Basilica of Santo Spirito (home to Michelangelo’s Crucifix), and the magnificent Cathedral of Santa Maria Del Fiore. From Botticelli’s breathtaking Birth of Venus in the Uffizi Gallery to Michelangelo’s David in the Galleria dell’Accademia, guests are a mere stroll from the world's finest works of art. As a final treat for your senses, indulge in the finest Florentine cuisine with robust flavours and traditional dishes at one of the many exquisite eateries in this incomparable city.

Florbianca marries urban-inspired interior design with refined period features such as blond wood parquet floors and coffered ceilings; the result feels fresh and exciting. On-trend grey walls and a trendy floating concrete staircase are softened by sumptuous seating and flowing contemporary art in the chic living room. The modernity continues in the immaculate white kitchen, where top-of-the-range appliances enhance the streamlined space. Guests can share meals in the airy dining room or out on the spacious balcony. This sophisticated dining and lounge area offers captivating views across la Bella Firenze – best enjoyed at sunset.

The villa’s two opulent bedrooms are located on the second level. They echo the stylish industrial grey palette with scarlet colour pops found on the first floor, creating a serene and restorative space. Each bedroom houses a decadently dressed king-size bed and benefits from its own private bathroom, with marble accents and a large walk-in waterfall shower.

Few Florence villas offer such an exceptional location nor the pleasure of an al fresco space. Florbianca makes an elegant base for exploring both the cultural delights of this magical city and the rolling Tuscan countryside beyond.
