Location
In the midst of the greenery and peace of a centuries old park and Italian garden at the gates of Florence, in the harmonious landscape of the hills of Bagno a Ripoli, Villa Olmi Resort is a unique gem among 5 star hotels in Florence, due to its position and convenience.
Just 1 km from the Firenze Sud exit on the A1 freeway, 6 km from the beautiful Piazza del Duomo, the historic heart of Florence, on the road that goes from Florence to the Chianti and Valdarno areas, Villa Olmi Resort is the ideal spot for a stay in an exclusive luxury hotel, nestled in the peace of the Florentine hills, a few minutes from the art and history of Florence and hills of the Chianti area, that provide Italy and the rest of the world with one of the warmest, most enticing wines.
The splendid historic center of Florence is 15 minutes by car from Villa Olmi Resort by following the signs for Piazza Gavinana and Lungarni, an essential and unforgettable experience for every refined traveler. 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.
The Via Cassia, which once connected Florence to Rome, where visitors can stop to see the charming Certosa del Galluzzo and the Via Chiantigiana which passes through Greve, Castellina and Radda in Chianti, start just a short distance from Villa Olmi Resort and Florence winding through the hills of the Chianti area, in one of the most famous landscapes in Tuscany and Italy.
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.
