Vacation rental apartments to rent in Florence, Tuscany, Italy. Villa le Piazzole.

Villa le Piazzole is the 'residence' of Villa Montartino, located just 150 metres away from the holiday apartments at Villa le Piazzole. The accommodation is in elegant suites / holiday apartments - the villa has been renovated with expert skill, and restored to its original splendour.

Villa le Piazzole overlooks the small square formed by the junction of Via Suor Maria Celeste and Via San Matteo in Acetri. This is one of Florence's historic houses, mentioned in noted publications down the centuries. The area is quite famous - Arcetri's Observatory is located here, as is Il Gioiello villa, where Galileo Galilei lived and worked for more than fifteen years. He lived his last years here close to the convent where his daughter Maria Celeste was a nun. Her memory now recalled by the street which leads to Montartino.

Historical documents, and the coat-of-arms discovered during the restoration, reveal that the villa was the country seat of the Acciaoli, an ancient Florentine family, responsible for the building of the Certosa di Galluzzo monastery, visible from the property.

The two roads which meet here, leading from Poggio Imperiale and from the Pian dei Giullari, are recommended as splendid country/hillside walks in many important guidebooks. These narrow roads, unwinding between stone walls covered in vegetation, are almost completely free of traffic, and guest staying at the villa enjoy a rural tranquility while being just a few minutes from the city centre.
