Charming villa with private swimming pool and garden, located in the countryside of Bagno a Ripoli, a few km from Florence. Equipped with a small gym and hot tub, it sleeps up to 6 people, has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
EXTERNAL DESCRIPTION
Belforte Suite is an ancient and charming property nestled in the Florentine hills, a few kilometers from Florence’s historic centre (8 km) and the main services.
Part of a medieval fortified residential complex, Belforte Suite can be reached by a semi-private road, partly paved and partly unpaved. The villa is characterised by some ivi-covered external walls that make it unique.
At the back of the property there are other apartments and the owner's house, all with private entrance and placed on the opposite side of the complex.
In front of the main entrance you will find a private park (about 300 sqm), with beautiful view over Florence. The park is equipped with a small covered pergola with table for 8/10 people, ideal for tasty alfresco meals.
The swimming pool is separate from the villa (about 400 m), reachable both on foot (10 min.) and by car (suggested, considering the slope and the not asphalted road) and provided with parasol, deckchairs and sunbeds.
Please note that close to the villa is one of the properties of the owner, with 1 dogs in a separate and enclosed area.
