Little Closer
A sixteenth-century villa in the hilly outskirts of Florence that, at times, has been both a stables and a nightclub, Thermae is one of the most spectacular places we’ve seen in Italy. Its restoration has been a labour of love for the host, Giovanni, and the way that he’s incorporated technology into the original structure is simply impressive. There’s too much to describe here, but know that everything's been taken care of. And if we did have to choose one thing that stood out, it might have to be the pool, hidden away in the vaults, and only accessible through a trapdoor. tbc Air ConditioningAmazon PrimeBalconyBalcony / PatioBathrobesBicyclesBlack-Out BlindsBlenderBuzzer / Wireless IntercomCarbon Monoxide DetectorCentral HeatingCoffee MakerCooking EssentialsDishwasherDryerElectricity AdaptorsEspresso MachineExtra Pillows and BlanketsFanFire ExtinguisherFirst Aid KitFree Parking On PremisesFree Parking On StreetFreezerFridgeHair Drye...More Details
