About this property

Renovated gorgeous villa in Florence. Walking distance to all sites.

*Guidelines for enhanced cleaning and disinfection are being followed to guarantee the utmost safety of our guests*
Hidden Florence still exists! Villa Ventura is located in the most picturesque area of downtown Florence. An ancient pilgrim path takes you to Ponte Vecchio and the historical center in no time. Nestled just above San Niccolo, the oldest and most beloved district by the Florentines, you can truly enjoy the best of the countryside and the city. This luxuriously renovated three bedroom villa offers privacy, breathtaking views, terraces, gardens and a quiet hideaway. Erta Canina is part of historical Florence and the ancient monk path takes you to all sites in no time. The villa is located close to Piazzale Michelangelo and therefore it is on top of the hill, overlooking Florence. The gorgeous view of the duomo will make the steep path very worth the while. Alternatively, Ponte Vecchio is a quick taxi or bus ride away.
For longer stays please note that we require an obligatory weekly mid cleaning which will guarantee a perfectly cleaned home for you including a change of all linen and sheets. Please inquire directly with the owner for fees and cleaning schedules which will be coordinated according to your convenience.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Beautiful Tuscan home in Florence. Our family had a wonderful Spring Break in Florence. The home is beautiful and in a quiet neighborhood with amazing views of the Tuscan hills and has everything you need and more. It’s a short walk right into Florence. Karin was a great host and very responsive and helped us arrange a return car service back to the train station.

We had a fantastic 3 week stay at Villa Ventura! It is the best of both worlds - walking distance to central Florence, while also relaxing with beautiful views of the hills. Very comfortable and well-equipped, and host Karin is very helpful and responsive. It is a special place to stay.

Even better in person!

We LOVED our stay here while in Florence! The location is the perfect blend of being close to everything but not right in the midst of the busy city. And the home and the views are just beautiful! Karin made everything so easy from arrival to departure and was quick to respond anytime we had a question. The hike up the hill may not be for the faint of heart, but its a short distance and we actually appreciated the walk after a heavy pasta dinner and multiple gelatos throughout the day. :) Thanks again for a great stay!!

The perfect place to spend our last days in Italy

Karin is the consummate host down to the very last detail. From arranging a transfer from the train station to restaurant recommendations to coffee to wine and of course the air conditioning we were pampered and felt right at home! The villa is lovely and the neighborhood charming. We walked off many great meals heading back up the hill! Thank you again Karin!

Our FAVORITE VRBO…ever!

When we travel with our adult family, we stay at VRBOs. This is BY FAR our favorite VRBO! The location is within easy walking distance of the city center of Florence. Each bedroom room was spacious and no detail was overlooked in this GORGEOUS villa! There was a dining table inside, as well as one outside on the patio. We would eat outside, as it overlooked the Tuscany region! Simply BEAUTIFUL!

Beautiful Home Close to Florence!

Karin was wonderfully helpful and made renting easy! The home is beautiful...and the path in to Florence is lovely. A little bit of a workout to return up hill to the home...but we found it a nice walk after dinner:-) It was a little challenging to get taxi services at this location- but otherwise we very much enjoyed Villa Ventura! Thank you Karin!

My family had the most incredible stay at Villa Ventura and didn’t want it to come to an end! We enjoyed the peacefulness and serenity of the beautiful Tuscan countryside and the ability to walk into the city to explore. The villa itself is amazing. Lots of natural light, clean, comfortable, and stunning. Karin was a phenomenal host. She was super responsive and provided many great recommendations in response to our many questions. We appreciated her arranging our transfer to and from the train station. We hope to return to Villa Ventura.

About the host

Hosted by Karin Honsberg

Host profile image
Originally I am German and my husband is Italian. We are luxury hotel veterans, have lived and worked in many countries around the world, and understand the needs of the discerning traveler. Together we have hosted guests in Florence at Casa Ventura and Villa Ventura for many years now and take pride in the excellent reviews we receive. We would like our guests to enjoy a local experience and are always at hand for any question or suggestion. We want you to feel right at home.

Why they chose this property

Here is why we fell in love: Villa Ventura is nestled in the Tuscan
rolling green hills, only a short steep walk into historical Florence.
Within five minutes you are in the San Niccolo neighbourhood, the oldest district of Florence and the most beloved area by the
Florentines, as it's residential. Here you can find the perfect mix
between Florentine foods, local artisans, and a lively summer
nightlife scene by the Arno river. 10 minutes more and you are at
Ponte Vecchio. You get to enjoy the best of both worlds. We created the house to take in all the gorgeous views of the scenery. Large windows, balconies, a terrace with furniture and gas grill and even a mezzanine to have a view onto the Duomo and Florence. You get to enjoy the best of both worlds!
