Villa Palagetto

Charming villa with private garden and pool in the countryside of Bagno a Ripoli, just outside Florence. It can sleep up to 10 people, has 4 bedrooms, and 3 bathrooms.

External Description

Villa Palagetto is nestled among the gentle hills of the Bagno a Ripoli countryside, just 15 minutes from the heart of Florence. An oasis of peace and charm, the property consists of a main villa and a lovely guesthouse, surrounded by a fully fenced private garden meticulously cared for in every detail: an English-style lawn, Mediterranean plants, elegant terracotta pots, and majestic olive trees framing the view.
Beneath the spacious covered patio with wooden beams and large glass windows, you will find a dining table for ten, perfect for enjoying convivial dinners overlooking the greenery. In the garden, a built-in outdoor kitchen with oven and barbecue invites guests to prepare delicious grilled meals in the company of family and friends.
Guests also have access to a second garden, where a beautiful pool (8 x 4 m, depth 1.20 - 2.10 m) awaits. The pool is open from mid-April to the end of November and features an outdoor shower, sun loungers, deck chairs, parasol, and lounge area — ideal for relaxing in the sun or sipping an aperitif at sunset. Next to the pool, there is another built-in kitchen with oven and barbecue, as well as a second dining table for ten, perfect for fully embracing outdoor living.
The owners live in the lower ground floor of the villa, on the pool side, with their own private entrance. They are always discreet and respectful of guests’ privacy, do not use the pool during guests’ stays, and remain available if needed. They also have two friendly dogs, who may occasionally wander freely around the pool garden.
To make your stay even more enjoyable, guests can also use a table football (foosball) set under the pergola, perfect for fun matches between young and old alike, as well as an outdoor parking area for three cars, shared with the owners.
