Dimora Fiorentina

ESTATE • FLORENCE, TUSCANY, ITALY

20 Bedrooms • 18 Bathrooms • Sleeps 37

Private PoolHot TubSaunaSteam RoomPrivate Chef

Dimora Fiorentina is a 20-bedroom historic Tuscan estate sleeping up to 37 guests, set among olive groves and woodlands just 5.9 kilometres from the centre of Florence. The property comprises five distinct buildings: the main villa, Fattoria, Bottega, Frantoio and the Studio, each with its own character and private spaces, arranged around lawned gardens planted with lavender, iris and roses. At its heart is a 150-square-metre heated swimming pool, a second pool set within the gardens, and an underground spa complex housing a sauna, Turkish bath, Jacuzzi and multi-sensory showers. The estate's history as an artists' residence is tangible throughout, from the ancient dovecote converted into a bedroom to the Renaissance architectural detail that runs through the main villa. A private helipad, Tesla charging point, chapel and in-villa private chef complete the service picture. The Florence Cathedral is visible from the villa grounds, a detail that places the estate's position in sharp relief. The property is available exclusively as a full buyout, making it one of the most capable large-group estates in Tuscany for gatherings, celebrations or multi-family holidays. An inclusive breakfast service, estate olive oil and daily concierge support are provided as standard. Booked through CV Villas' ABOVE Collection, the estate operates at a level of service rarely found at this scale.

Late spring brings warm days, the gardens in full colour with lavender and iris in bloom, and Florence at its most accessible before summer crowds and peak-season heat arrive.

moderate crowdgood value

Late spring and early autumn are the strongest seasons at Dimora Fiorentina. May and September bring warm, settled weather, manageable visitor numbers in Florence and gardens at their best. Summer is fully operational but July and August bring heat and high demand across Tuscany. Winter is quieter and cooler, with Florence notably less crowded, though outdoor pool use is limited to heated sessions.

winter

dec · jan · feb

Cool and occasionally wet, with temperatures dropping to near freezing at night. Florence is at its quietest and most rewarding for cultural visits, with no queues at the Uffizi and Accademia.

4-12°C

low crowdgood value

Winter availability is generally good and rates are lower than spring and summer peaks. The heated pool is available on request. Note that the estate is outdoors-focused and some outdoor amenities are best suited to warmer months.

spring

Recommended

mar · apr · may

Warming steadily from March through May, with May delivering reliable sunshine and temperatures ideal for outdoor use of the estate and grounds. The gardens reach their peak with lavender, iris and roses in bloom.

10-22°C

moderate crowdgood value

Spring is a strong season and the best chalets and estates book early. May in particular is popular. Aim to book three to six months ahead for groups of 20 or more.

summer

jun · jul · aug

Hot and dry, with temperatures regularly exceeding 30°C in July and August. The estate's two pools and shaded gardens are the centre of daily life. Florence is at its busiest and hottest; early morning visits are advisable.

22-34°C

peak crowdpremium value

July and August are the highest-demand weeks of the year. For a 20-bedroom full buyout, bookings should be placed six to twelve months in advance. Note that barbecuing may be restricted during dry periods due to fire risk, as stated in the property's essential information.

autumn

sep · oct · nov

September remains warm and settled, with October bringing cooler, occasionally misty mornings across the Chianti hills. November is the coolest and wettest month, though still mild by northern European standards.

10-26°C

moderate crowdexcellent value

September is an excellent window, combining summer warmth with noticeably fewer visitors than August and better value. October is ideal for harvest and truffle experiences. Autumn availability is generally better than spring and summer, but the estate books quickly at this size.

Why we chose it

The ancient dovecote repurposed as a standalone bedroom is the kind of detail that rarely survives a renovation, and here it does. What separates Dimora Fiorentina from comparable large-group estates in Tuscany is the way the five buildings create a genuine sense of village rather than a hotel corridor with extra bedrooms: guests can retreat to their own building at the end of an evening and reassemble the following morning. Unlike most estates at this capacity, the Florence Cathedral is visible from the grounds, meaning the city arrives in the frame before you even leave the property. Few Italian estates of this size can claim that combination of proximity to a world-ranked cultural capital and the privacy of olive groves.

01The Architecture

Dimora Fiorentina is a Renaissance estate composed of five separate buildings, each with its own architectural identity. The main villa carries the formal character of the original historic structure, with entrance halls, fireplaces and the proportions of a Florentine residence from an earlier century. Fattoria takes a more rustic register, built using pietra serena stone, the grey sandstone characteristic of…

02The Interior

The five buildings of Dimora Fiorentina each carry a different interior character, which is the estate's most considered quality. The main villa is furnished in keeping with its refined historic past: formal rooms, fireplace seating areas and bedrooms that carry the weight of the building's age. Fattoria is the opposite, deliberately simple and rustic, with the pietra serena stone visible…

03The Outdoor

The estate's outdoor spaces centre on two swimming pools set within lawned gardens planted with lavender, iris and roses. The main pool measures 150 square metres, is heatable on request, gated, and accessed via built-in steps. A second pool sits separately within the gardens. Each of the five buildings has its own outdoor connection: Bottega has a private garden with…

Dimora Fiorentina sits in the Chianti zone south of Florence, 5.9 kilometres from the city centre, placing it in the countryside whilst keeping one of the world's great cultural capitals within a short drive.
