The handsome 12th century Villa Villoresi has numerous carvings and murals in pristine condition. Only a few miles away from Florence, this very comfortable and peaceful hotel enjoys a beautiful panoramic view of the Tuscan countryside.

There are a number of villa-hotels in the suburbs surrounding Florence which have more amenities, but none has its warmth and charm. It is the home of the Villoresis and guests share the same facilities as the family and their friends. If you are staying a few days Cristina can arrange for private visits to some famous houses, master craftsmen designers or artists and can instruct you in arts that have made this city world-famous.

“Eight kilometers from Florence, Villa Villoresi is a hard act to follow. A 12th century Patrician villa, it has amazing murals, high painted ceilings and some rooms with frescoes that make you feel as if you are sleeping on an open-air balcony overlooking formal Italian gardens. This hotel makes a fabulous base for exploring the art treasures of Florence, but if you speak to someone who has been there, they will tell you that this hotel is an art treasure in its own right.

“The position is as brilliant as this beautiful hotel. Not only are you within a stone's throw of Florence, but wine-lovers will delight in visiting the Chianti road and some of the excellent wineries represented there. Siena is only 83 km away and Bologna an hour's drive also. And then there are some of those timeless medieval villages like San Gimignano. If Tuscany with its art, wine and history turns you on, so will this lovely Villa Villoresi.”

Lorenzo Villoresi ..... le Florentin auquel s'adressent les plus grandes stars qui veulent leur propre parfum.

Une véranda sur les toits de Florence, donnant sur l’Arno, Santa Croce et la coupole de Brunelleschi. Au loin, les douces collines de la ville. Des études de philosophie et de religions anciennes, de longs voyages au Proche-Orient. Voici ce qui compose le royaume de Lorenzo Villoresi. Un artiste du parfum qui a su faire renaître la tradition de la parfumerie florentine de la Renaissance en lui apportant une touche de modernité.
