Breakfast at the Villa Antea
Location
Like the Soggiorno Stibbert the Villa Antea is a short walk from the centre of town. As said in other posts, this is a definate plus when visiting Florence for the first time. The centre of town is bella, wonderful and simply magical BUT in the summer months you might feel you are more in a theme park.
It is great to be able to get back to a you place away from the noise and commotion. Florence is a small town – by foot you can reach the centre of town in 15 minutes, or just take the bus, just a minutes walk from the Villa. If you’re visiting Florence for one of its annual trade shows, like the Artisan festival or Pitti Uomo, the Villa is perfectly positioned, just a few minutes walk from the main Fortezza da Basso.
