Il Monte is a beautiful 15th century farmhouse perched on a terraced hilltop overlooking Florence and commanding stunning views of the city and the hills that encircle it. The estate sits in total privacy at the end of a long drive, surrounded by a pretty garden of cypress trees and paved terraces. A very tasteful blend of modern and antique furnishings highlights the old terracotta floors, fireplaces and beamed ceilings. A choice of indoor and outdoor sitting and dining areas and a large garden within extensive grounds offer plenty of options for quiet moments and gatherings. The swimming pool is set at the edge of the garden on a terrace with loungers and umbrellas, again with beautiful views of the surrounding countryside - particularly at sunset, when the silhouette of the Ponte Vecchio can be seen arching over the Arno River.
