Loggia is one of five apartments in Villa il Paradisino. A 16th Century Historical Estate, we are also a working farm with 15 acres of ancient olive groves, luscious vineyards, fruit and vegetable orchards as well as romantic gardens to explore or sit back and watch the world go by. A family-run enterprise, nestled on the edge of Florence.
LOGGIA (100 sq meters),
A particularly beautiful and charming apartment situated on the first floor. It comprises a vast living room (36 sq mt) with a grand, stone fireplace and kitchen. The bedroom has an elegant, wrought iron, four poster bed, a single bed and a large bathroom with shower and tub. If you need extra beds there is a very comfortable double sofa bed in the living room. The whole space has classic Tuscan ceilings of ancient wooden rafters as well as floors of antique Florentine terracotta tiles.
It is the only one of our apartments to have an elevated balcony, providing panoramic views of the grounds and a perfect place to have breakfast, relax in the shade or share an aperitivo.
Only 6 km from the city centre , the villa is the ideal location to explore both the historical sites of the city and Tuscany’s beautiful countryside that surrounds it. But our place is more than just a base, here you can have a unique experience in a Renaissance family home, enjoy the food and wine we produce and learn how to cook our family recipes.
Not only are we 15 minutes by train from the historical centre of Florence but also a stone’s throw from the Tuscan hills and within easy reach of Chianti, Lucca, Pisa and Tuscany’s other marvels.
