Photos and Description of the Campo di Marte vacation villa rental
Apartments in villa: refined, historic and very special

Outstanding location, next to a prominent Renaissance villa located in Florence very close to the city historical centre.

Residenza Strozzi enjoys the best of 2 worlds:the location at the edge of the historical centre and the peace of the Tuscan countryside.

It offers 4 different accommodations: the Chapel and the Scuderia derive from the former Chapel and the former riding Stables of the Villa. They are self catering apartments in a unique location. The nearby 'Casa del Pozzo', the House with a well, LISTED AT #468534, is an independent house in the medieval village of Corbignano overlooking Florence with a spectacular view. Casa Colline is a charming and unforgettable setting for an ideal vacation located in an old house in the hills just outside Florence. The ideal opportunity for anyone who wants to visit Florence and other beautiful ancient towns of Tuscany like Siena and Lucca and also wants to relax in a typical Tuscan countryside.

All accommodation, even though they preserve the ancient beauty and history, offer privacy, space and modern comforts.

Residenza Strozzi, located south-East of Florence, on the historical Strozzi-Riccardi estate, enjoys the best of both worlds: convenient access to city centre and the peace and quiet of Tuscany's countryside. It is situated in a protected and peaceful area of more than 20 hectares, just outside the centre of Florence, at the foot of the hill of Settignano, in a marvellous environment, surrounded by meadows.

A spectacular pine-line avenue gives access to the residence.

The area has many accessible services and is charming and green like the most typical Tuscan countryside. Residenza Strozzi is a perfect medium term rental solution to live and explore Florence and Tuscany.

Here you live in a green resort, far away from the bustle of the city with its humming motorbikes and honking cars. While the location is far from disturbance, it is only a short bus ride into the city. There are two bus stops in walking distance. A 15 minutes bus ride will take you into the city centre.

Stroll to the 'Ponte a Mensola' quarter, which is only 300 m. away, where you will find a grocery, a breakfast bar, restaurants, a tobacconist, a newsagent, a hairdresser and one of the two bus stops. A very large supermarket, a bank, a post office and a pharmacy are about 1 km away.

The Cathedral, Palazzo Vecchio, all museums are within easy reach, as are the nearby small towns of Fiesole and Settignano. The hill of Settignano, just behind Residenza Strozzi, preserves some of the most attractive Florentine villas.

Wonderful walks lead towards Settignano, Corbignano and, through of wood of cypresses, as so far as Fiesole. It was in these hills designed by man that Giovanni Boccaccio, Desiderio da Settignano, Bernardo and Antonio Rossellino, Michelangelo, Leigh Hunt, Charles Armitage Brown, Janet Ross, Edward Hutton, Mark Twain, Niccolò Tommaseo, Gabriele D'Annunzio, Bernardo Barenson and many others found their inspiration.

Guido’s labor of love is just wonderful and charming. Great choice of music too! “The Stables” is so well equipped with everything we wanted. What a lovely place to stay it has been. Dinners in the courtyard was truly memorable. Thank you for providing a place to have such a unique stay. We loved every moment and will always cherish our memories of the Stables and Florence. Thank you

A Tuscan Delight

5 of 5
Submitted: September 28, 2010 Stayed: August 2010
What you see on the Internet you get in real life.This is a very classy,comfortable and well located Villa in the Heart of Tuscany.
A very rural atmosphere and yet just on the outskirts of Florence.Most local amenities are within walking distance and most of the important tourist spots are within an easy hours drive of the Villa.
Great dinning inside and out. Good kitchen and bathroom,comfortable beds and linen and all very tastefully done.The restoration and conversion of the Stables into an apartment is a stroke of genius and this accommodation is unique in composition and character.This is truly a home from home.
Guido and Pia are the perfect hosts willing and able to assist with anything.
We recommend this Villa for short stays or long.The longer the better for us.

A charming home near Florence

5 of 5
Submitted: August 12, 2010 Stayed: July 2010
The Scuderia is a welcoming and well kept home, tastefully decorated in a haven of greenery. It is equipped with modern comforts (air conditioning, fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and Microwave-...) while being very original because of the stale stables were kept. The garden is suberbe and calm, you can make the barbecue or ping-pong. The host, Guido and Pia are very friendly and give advice. The center is 20 minutes by bus, very convenient.
Only downside: the Scuderia is unique on two levels so there is no real privacy.
I recommend this rental to all my friends who go to Florence.
Our restaurant Coquinarius (next to the Duomo, 15 via dell'Oche): reservations required
The best ice cream: Grom (2 Via del Campanile)

What a wonderful time we have had in the “Stables”

What a wonderful time we have had in the “Stables” . It's such an idiosyncratic and equally comfortable apartment. Guido you have been such a friendly and helpful host. “The Stables” is so well equipped with everything we wanted. What a lovely place to stay it has been. Dinners in the courtyard was truly memorable. Thank you for providing a place to have such a unique stay.

We were going to stay for 2 weeks and stayed for 5

Submitted: June 17, 2010 Stayed: April 2010
We were going to stay for two weeks and stayed for five weeks. The Stables apartment has been fantastic for us. We are a kiwi family with 2 girls. Pia and Guido have done so much for us to make our stay “the best”, organising a school for the girls, bikes suggestions on what activities we could do, restaurants, a delicious hamper when the supermarkets were closed, help when our computer broke down and we had a flat tyre, the list goes on. We have loved being so close to Florence with a view of the Duomo on the horizon, with the added bonus of a Tuscan countryside feel. We have had many relaxing evenings in the garden using the BBQ. Thank you for everything. We look forward to coming back one day. A home away from home.

We felt like kings and queens

We felt like kings and queens. What a wonderful place!! we loved it from begin till end. Compliments for your decoration skills, even the smallest details we've thought of and makes it all complete. We thank you that you offered us the bigger residence, the Stables. This made our stay even more elaborate and stylish. We will definitely tell our friends and family where to stay; at your lovely place! With love.
