Florence holiday lodging in apartments/bed and breakfast

Residence La Cappella offers bed and breakfast/holiday apartments in the grounds of a splendid Italian villa just a short distance from Florence.

Usually a weeks stay is required, but three-night stays may be possible off-season. A refurbished chapel sleeps 2 (4 on request), and there are also two double rooms available in an adjacent building. Here you'll have the best of all worlds, with quick access to Florence and the peace and quiet of the Tuscan countryside, and accommodation in a secluded and peaceful setting on the historic Strozzi-Riccardi estate.

Located at the foot of Settignano hill, in more than 20 hectares of private land, the villa lies just outside Florence, yet is surrounded by meadows and olive groves. A pine-lined avenue leads to the house and its buildings, and there is a large garden equipped with tables, chairs, and deckchairs. Guests have access to a courtyard adjoining the owners' villa next door, and there is a glass conservatory for dining, lounging, or table tennis.

The Chapel was built in the 18th century and is restored in neo-classical style; originally a private chapel for the Strozzi-Riccardi family (as in the Palazzo Strozzi in central Florence), the one-bedroom accommodation has recently been carefully restored to its original state, retaining its original beauty and charm, and is furnished throughout with antiques.

The interior covers about 50 square metres. There is a living room with full kitchenette; the double bedroom (queen-size bed) is located in the chapel's original nave (still decorated with original frescoes), and there is a bathroom with shower. The Chapel is independent of the owners' villa next door and has a wonderful atmosphere - refined, historic and very special. The owners occasionally allow four people to stay in the chapel, and can provide an additional bed. The amenities include heating in winter, CD player, and television.
