Discover Florence

At the gates of Florence, on the road that goes from Florence to the Chianti area, Villa Olmi Resort is a unique gem among 5 star hotels in Florence, due to its position and convenience.

Florence is one of Italy’s most pleasant city; its historical and cultural heritage is immense.
It was here that Dante lived and here governed the Medici who with Cosimo and Lorenzo brought the Signoria to its maximum splendor. It was in this place that the Renaissance originated which revolutionized the course of art (with Brunelleschi, Donatello and Masaccio) and inspired greats like Raphael, Michelangelo and Leonardo, and here also emerged the Mannerism style of Vasari. All of this can be experienced among the narrow medieval streets and the Renaissance squares, among museums full of masterpieces from the greatest painters, among churches, cloisters, and convents that are treasures of works of art and devotion, and also among the walls of austere palaces which belonged to bankers and merchants. From the picturesque Ponte Vecchio to the wonders of the Uffizi Gallery, from the extraordinary exhibits at the Palazzo Pitti to the exclusive shopping on Via Tornabuoni (Prada, Gucci, Bulgari, Armani etc.), Florence is truly unique.

Chianti with its vine covered hills which provide the prestigious wine and dotted with Medieval towns (Gaiole in Chianti, Radda in Chianti etc.), treasure chests of fine food and art, is just south of Bagno a Ripoli, the town which is home to the luxury hotel Villa Olmi Resort.

There are no words to describe the beauty, atmosphere and charm of these places: unique and among the most beautiful in the world and offer stunning poetic scenery. Sensations that can be enjoyed from a hill top, a town's narrow street, or from a medieval tower, having a good wine, or savoring a delicacy from the local cuisine.
