Perched on three acres of private hillside above Florence, neighbours with the ancient Etruscan settlement of Fiesole, Villa Il Sogno is a beautifully conceived luxury villa rental with one of the most captivating positions in the entire Florentine countryside. Fruit trees, herb gardens, and flowering terraces surround the house on all sides, and the views down over the city — its domes and spires rising from the valley below — are the kind that make you stop mid-sentence and simply look. A swimming pool with lovely views over the countryside completes an outdoor setting that is as restful as it is beautiful.
At the heart of the villa, the Great Room sets the tone: oak beams overhead, a wood-burning Tuscan fireplace, large windows framing the hills, and a gracious dining table that invites long, unhurried meals and easy conversation.
Five air-conditioned ensuite bedrooms accommodate up to 10 guests with a generous variety of spaces. The grand two-level master suite has striking hardwood floors, a custom king-size bed, and French doors opening to the terrace and rose garden. A second ground-floor bedroom accesses both hallway and terrace; a third offers garden views with a marble shower bathroom; a fourth converts from twin to king with a Jacuzzi bathroom. A fifth room with bespoke bunk beds adds a playful touch for families with children.
The level of service is exceptional. Included in every stay: meet-and-greet at Compiobbi Piazza, porter service, a stocked pantry for your first breakfast, daily maid and laundry service, and a welcome reception with Prosecco. Presiding over it all is Rossella — manager, concierge, and gifted chef — equally at home organising a truffle hunt as she is orchestrating a formal dinner for the whole group.
Available year-round, Villa Il Sogno is a Florence villa rental of warmth, character, and exceptional care — a dream, as the name rather perfectly suggests.
