Villa Caiano Giglio, Londa - Florence

It’s all about the views at Villa Caiano Giglio. Set in the hills northwest of Florence, this handsome property has been positioned to focus on an extraordinary amphitheatre of hills and valleys cloaked in vines and olive groves. Your only concern will be where best to take in those views – resting on the infinity-edge of the cool waters of the sparkling infinity pool, the comfort of an ample lounger on its sundeck, or perhaps in the shade of the loggia, where the arches, romantically swagged with drapes, create perfect frames for this prettiest of pictures?

But this villa for five is also a vision in itself. The luxury begins the moment you step into the loggia with its lounge and dining areas hung with chandeliers. Yet that’s just a taste of what’s to come. Step into the huge communal room, a triumph of design in soft white tones, rotating around a central fireplace, that naturally divides into a comfortable lounge, elegant dining space, and a practical yet eye-catching kitchen hidden behind a sweeping crescent-shaped workspace. Beyond lie two bedrooms, one with a luxurious in-room Jacuzzi and sauna, while a lift connects to a covetable upper suite.

Our Thoughts
We adore the setting of Villa Caiano Giglio, the panorama it affords is among the best in our whole portfolio. In fact, we challenge you to drag yourself away from the infinity-edge pool with its (literally) cool front-row views. The split of the accommodation between the lower-ground and first floors will be welcomed by parties that include a couple who desire a degree of separation – here they’ll get their very own suite

Notes
The owners live on the ground floor but do not use the pool. There is a lift connecting the basement and first floor, which bypasses the owners’ accommodation. Guests with young children are asked to take necessary precautions when using the lift. One of the double bedrooms can be converted to a twin, please request on booking. Infants must be included in the head count when booking this property – therefore five people including any infants is the maximum number allowed at this property.

Pool
The infinity-edge pool is next to the main house, surrounded by a stone sundeck and lawn which are furnished with sunloungers and set with potted plants. The water is entered by Roman steps. There are a couple of outdoor showers. Pool size: 12x6m, 1.1-2.5m deep. Open May to September, weather permitting.
