Located in an ancient and prestigious Florentine estate, Villa Leila, Chianti, Tuscany offers luxury accommodation in a rural setting, including a grass tennis court, a heated pool, historic vaulted living rooms and elegant large rooms with en-suite bathrooms. Furnished in upscale Florentine style with period furniture, rooms feature terracotta-tiled floors, exposed beams and frescoes. The estate also offers guests a splendid park with centuries-old trees and colourful flowers, outdoor pool and a tower with an incredible view over the surroundings and the rooftops of Florence itself.
Florence is an open-air exhibit of art and culture. It is known worldwide as the heart of the Renaissance, and the home of fine art and literature. Today, the essence of Florence could safely be said to exist in the city's constantly restored art and architecture, their appearance and functionality altered only by their numbers in years - signature examples include Fillippo Brunelleschi's Duomo and Michelangelo's timeless statue of David, arguably the most recognizable and widely known image of western culture to date. The romantic Ponte Vecchio, one of Europe's last fully stone bridges, or even Giotto's bell tower might give Florence the notoriety it deserves. None of these structures, artistic, architectural, or functional would stand, being worthy of generations of detailed restoration, if it weren't for the thinking of Renaissance men and thinkers including Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, or Dante Alighieri: their impact changed our visual and literary world forever, and Florence is the city in which it all began.
