Villa Agape, previously Villa Arrighetti, owned by the Duchess of Aosta, is in the beautiful setting of Piazzale Michelangelo,
not far from the panoramic position of Florence’s Arcetri Observatory.
With its fine position, Villa Agape offers its guests splendid rooms with views over the city of Florence and the
private park with Italian-style garden, the only one of its kind in the city.
In fact, in addition to the richly-decorated rooms and spacious reception halls, the Villa has green areas that enhance the property,
unique corners with a wealth of flowers and fountains where you can spend unforgettable moments. For guests, there are pleasant areas
for relaxation where you can sip a glass of fine wine, read a book, or organise events and meetings, including formal occasions.
The Villa is also located just a few minutes from the historic city centre; it has a large private car park and it
can easily be reached using private or public transport.
Commissioned by the Duchess of Aosta, the front of the Villa is dominated by the large Italian-style garden,
adorned with rare plants and flowers.
In pure Renaissance shape and style, composed using box borders and decorated with fountains, it provides a link to the Hotel’s incredible
private park, the only one of its kind in Florence.
This green area, with abundant fruit trees, olive groves, a century-old wisteria and other ancient trees, begins from the top of the
hill dominated by Villa Agape, and it ends further down at Viale Galileo, Florence’s most panoramic street.
From there, walking for about another ten minutes, you reach Basilica di San Miniato al Monte and Piazzale Michelangelo,
unmissable sights during your stay in Florence.
The park and gardens are perfect for a walk in absolute relaxation, or for sipping an aperitif at sunset,
but also to organise landmark events in a unique and exclusive setting.
