About this property

*Guidelines for enhanced cleaning and disinfection are being followed to guarantee the utmost safety of our guests
Hidden Florence still exists! Villa Ventura is located in the most picturesque area of downtown Florence. An ancient pilgrim path takes you to Ponte Vecchio and the historical center in no time. Nestled just above San Niccolo, the oldest and most beloved district by the Florentines, you can truly enjoy the best of the countryside and the city. This luxuriously renovated three bedroom villa offers privacy, breathtaking views, terraces, gardens and a quiet hideaway. Erta Canina is part of historical Florence and the ancient monk path takes you to all sites in no time. The villa is located close to Piazzale Michelangelo and therefore it is on top of the hill, overlooking Florence. The gorgeous view of the duomo will make the steep path very worth the while. Alternatively, Ponte Vecchio is a quick taxi or bus ride away.
For longer stays please note that we require an obligatory weekly mid cleaning which will guarantee a perfectly cleaned home for you including a change of all linen and sheets. Please inquire directly with the owner for fees and cleaning schedules which will be coordinated according to your convenience.

Das perfekte Haus....

... für eine spannende Woche in Florenz. In San Niccolo, auf der "anderen" Seite des Arno gelegen, auf einem Hügel unterhalb von San Miniato, ruhig und dennoch ist die Innenstadt mit einem kleinen Spaziergang zu erreichen, der durch San Niccolo mit seinen Cafés und Läden führt. Ein schönes, mit viel Umsicht hochwertig und vollständig ausgestattetes Haus, das keinerlei Wünsche offenläßt und die durch Beschreibung und Fotos geweckten Erwartungen übertrifft. Karin Honsberg hat uns herzlich empfangen und war immer für alle Fragen und Probleme (hilfe, wir haben uns ausgesperrt...) erreichbar. Ganz herzlichen Dank :-)

Best view and property in Florence

Exceptionally well appointed VRBO in Florence. Small walk up the hill but easy uphill walking distance all the major restaurants and museums. The place is an architectural masterpiece. I wish I lived here.

Lovely Villa

This property is the perfect distance away from the hussle and bussle of Firenze. It is clean and very comfortable. You'll get your heart rate coming up the hill, but we loved the exercise.

Gorgeous villa, amazing vistas, close to town

Villa Ventura is a magnificent property. Every detail of this property has been thought out and well-executed. We loved the modern design and cozy touches of this property. The sunset views from the lovely terrace were incredible every single night that we were there. The hot air balloons in the morning views were outstanding, too. The en-suite bathrooms were all beautiful and the beds were very comfortable. It is difficult to find a villa for rent that has such a close proximity to town. The San Niccolo neighborhood nearby has a nice bakery, a couple of small markets, a coffee shop, good restaurants, wine bars, pizza places, etc. And it is a quick walk to (and across) the Arno River from there. That said, it is a fairly steep walk up back up the hill to the villa. (We did it at least twice a day so it is definitely doable,) We are already making plans to go back to this delightful find. The communication with the owners was exemplary! They are just great.

Highly recommend!

My family had the most incredible stay at Villa Ventura and didn’t want it to come to an end! We enjoyed the peacefulness and serenity of the beautiful Tuscan countryside and the ability to walk into the city to explore. The villa itself is amazing. Lots of natural light, clean, comfortable, and stunning. Karin was a phenomenal host. She was super responsive and provided many great recommendations in response to our many questions. We appreciated her arranging our transfer to and from the train station. We hope to return to Villa Ventura.

About the host

Hosted by Karin Honsberg

I am German and my husband is Italian. We are seasoned luxury hotel veterans and understand the needs of the discerning traveler. Together we have hosted guests in Florence at Casa Ventura for more than five years now and have received only five star comments. We have added Villa Ventura to our portfolio and hope you will equally fall in love with the prime location as we have. We have two daughters that attend the International School of Florence.

Why they chose this property

Here is why we fell in love: Villa Ventura is nestled in the Tuscan
rolling green hills, only a short steep walk into historical Florence.
Within five minutes you are in the San Niccolo neighbourhood, the oldest district of Florence and the most beloved area by the
Florentines, as it's residential. Here you can find the perfect mix
between Florentine foods, local artisans, and a lively summer
nightlife scene by the Arno river. 10 minutes more and you are at
Ponte Vecchio. You get to enjoy the best of both worlds. We created the house to take in all the gorgeous views of the scenery. Large windows, balconies, a terrace with furniture and gas grill and even a mezzanine to have a view onto the Duomo and Florence. You get to enjoy the best of both worlds!
