Located in Impruneta, in the Florentine Chianti region, the Laura Apartment is an elegant two-room apartment located in an authentic manor house, Villa Saladini, with 500 years of history, an incredible testimony of life in Tuscany at the dawn of the Renaissance.
The interior of the Villa, the magnificent living room with stone fireplace and the small chapel with the family tombs, as well as the other rooms furnished with a rich collection of antiques, can be visited for free on request.
The property is surrounded by a large park with lawns and shady areas under age-old pines and cedars, beyond which hectares of olive fields extend.
Free Wifi and private parking.
Despite being surrounded by greenery, the Villa is located less than 1km from the town center, shops, restaurants and all kinds of amenities.
There is also a convenient bus line that connects the town directly with the center of Florence. There is a stop right outside the entrance gate.
The car is therefore not necessary to visit Florence, while it is recommended if you want to explore the countryside and the small towns of Chianti.
If you come by car, the Villa is located a few kilometers from the main communication routes and is in the perfect position for exploring Tuscany.
We are located just 7 km from the "Firenze - Impruneta" exit of the A1 motorway and from the beginning of the highway that connects Florence with Siena.
From here you can easily reach all the places of cultural interest and the most beautiful places in Tuscany
The Laura Apartment is a comfortable 65m2 apartment consisting of:
• Large bedroom with double bed, two-seater sofa bed and antique desk,
• Bathroom with shower,
• Living room with sofa, flat screen TV, table with 4 chairs, washing machine and kitchen with microwave.
Old terracotta floors and high ceilings decorated by hand.
All the furniture and paintings on the walls are vintage and belong to our family collection.
The walls are over 50 centimeters thick, as was once the custom in this type of building to ensure a cool environment even in the hottest summers.
The apartment is located on the first floor of the villa and enjoys a beautiful view of the park.
In the garden you will find table and chairs for outdoor dining and deck chairs to relax in the shade of the old trees or in the large sunny lawn.
