Location
About the surrounding area of Villa Torre GiuliaVilla Torre Giulia is located in the green and scenic Chianti region of Tuscany. As the area is famous for wine production you will find the home sitting amongst vineyards and rolling fields, perfect for a relaxing break. When you wish to see more of the local area you will be spoiled for choice with plenty of little villages, historic towns and of course the enchanting city of Florence within easy reach.
The villa is in a wonderful location for days by the pool and getting out in nature; with a fishing lake and a horse-riding centre on your door step and bike trails and hiking routes within a 5km radius. Alternatively, if you would prefer to enjoy the great outdoors by sampling the local wines at a vineyard then there are lots nearby! Torre A Cona for example is just 2.7km away and offer wine tastings, picnics in their grounds and dinners in their charming wine cellars.
Though the house is in a country location there is a lovely restaurant just 2.2km away and further shops, cafes and restaurants in some of the nearby villages.
The closest town is Rignano sull’Arno which is a riverside town 6km from the villa and has a large supermarket and a good selection of bars and eateries, whilst Bagno a Ripoli (8km) is another nearby town worth visiting. Around 12km from the villa you can also visit The Mall, the most famous designer shopping outlet in Tuscany known for its fashion brands and is a great place for an afternoon of shopping.
The main draw to this area is of course the city of Florence which is 19km away from the villa. In just over 30-minutes you can be standing in the Piazza della Signoria taking in the views of the staggeringly beautiful architecture which surrounds you. Florence has so much to see and do that you will probably need to visit a few times to make the most of your proximity to this incredible city or book on to a guided tour. The city is easy to navigate on foot, so you can enjoy afternoons walking around the winding streets which lead out on to squares filled with vast renaissance churches and palaces.
Some of the main attractions include the Duomo di Firenze which is the breath-taking cathedral, the Palazzo Vecchio (the town hall) and The Ponte Vecchio bridge over the river. The city is also packed with outstanding art galleries, museums and gardens. After a busy day exploring you can have dinner al-fresco in one of the many pretty squares or sample some of the local gelato down by the river bank.

What a beautiful place to stay
What a beautiful place to stay. We really enjoyed the quiet and being able to have a lot of room outside. We did a lot of day trips into Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, and Lucca. The local restaurant was great.
Mattia and the tema were very responsive and we loved the breakfast.
We will return. Grazie! -
