The indoor living spaces at Fiorentina occupy the old masseria and the original features remain the stars of the show. The main living room on the ground floor is in what was once a cattle shed where mangers are now windows. A vaulted ceiling and a working fireplace provide the backdrop for furnishings in wood and softly coloured linens, creating a chic, calm and inviting place to relax. The Dante snug uses a similar soft colour palette and the same natural materials. A discreet screen can be hidden when it’s not serving as a media room. Upstairs, a vaulted ceiling and a huge, open working fireplace create another elegant sitting room for guests to socialise or tuck themselves away with a book. The grand Trajan dining room has a whitewashed wooden ceiling punctuated with skylights and hung with a wrought iron chandelier, as well as another enormous open fireplace. The long dining table seats 20 for dinner and guests are served from the nearby professional kitchen. On the first floor of the main house is the upper kitchen, which combines an open-plan kitchen with a small dining and living space, again with a fireplace and a beautiful vaulted ceiling. There are numerous outdoor dining options, too, including under the shade of the poolside pergola where guests are served from the outdoor kitchen. The garden terrace seats 20 for breakfast or lunch where guests are served from the adjacent breakfast kitchen. The courtyard is perfect for starlit dinners, while 10-12 guests can dine on the first level terrace outside the original entrance to the masseria with views of the olive groves, the vineyard and the sea beyond, all served from the upper kitchen. For unparalleled views of the estate, the rooftop dining area next to the plunge pool can seat up to 16 for lunch or dinner. The house team is happy to set up lunch or dinner anywhere else in the stunning four-hectare garden.

Perfect hygiene: to ensure an exceptional level of hygiene in all our villas, we’ve worked with our owners to create a Covid-19 villa management protocol. Based on recommendations from the World Health Organisation, and in compliance with current Italian national law, this protocol goes above and beyond our usual rigorous cleaning standards.

Prior to arrival, your villa will have been fully sanitised, including all surfaces, objects, kitchen items, curtains, sofas, throws, pillows, toys, and in and around the pool. You are welcome to ask for a detailed list of the entire cleaning procedure we do after each departure and before welcoming new guests to the property.

The owner of this house has complied with the following standards:

• To ensure the necessary information concerning social distancing and the use of masks is available to all guests
