Il Sogno - Florence Hills

The kitchen is equipped with an espresso machine, new refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, Alessi toaster, microwave, large double sink, marble countertops and fine Richard Genori china along with Le Jacquard Français table linens. Wine and glassware are carefully selected to enhance the dining experience. There are two bar stools and a marble counter for informal eating.

The villa includes a multi-media room with a 200 satellite-channel flat screen television, Wi-Fi, desktop computer, printer/copier/fax machine, DVD player and library of useful, informative books for informal reading or touring.

The great room is a gathering place for before or after dinner, either to share the experiences of the day, gather around the Tuscan fireplace, play a game of chess or eat at the gracious table that can extend to serve 12-14. This large wood beamed stylishly appointed room with windows on 3 sides feels connected to the spectacular countryside that surrounds it- olive orchard, vineyards and cypress trees along with panoramic views of hills and valleys that capture the unique essence of Toscana.

The bed and bathrooms are both elegant and comfortable, capturing tradition and modernity. Sophisticated and luxurious, each room is unique with Italian high thread count linens, Frette bathrobes, plush down comforters, pillows and linen hand towels. Erborio Toscano olive oil amenities enhance the ambiance. Each of the four bedrooms has a luxurious private bath. There is an additional full bathroom located on the ground floor.

A variety of fruit trees, grapes, berries as well as herbs including rosemary and sage move from “farm to table”. The gardens include many kinds of flowers and flowering trees such as magnolia and hydrangeas. Enjoy magnificent vistas from different parts of the terraced property.

All meals can be prepared and delivered or served formally by Rossella and her staff. Below is a sample of her cooking for each season. Guests can arrange for a cooking lesson, a visit to St. Ambrogio or just arrive in the evening for a memorable dining experience. The table will be set with an eclectic selection of more formal Richard Ginori china contrasted with the charming Vietri ceramic dishes and mugs set on the colorful Le Jaquard Francais table linen.

Our goal is to provide guests with a personalized experience that will fulfill and expand the pleasures of a Toscana stay. Click here for some examples of the many activities that can be arranged.
