Description:

In the classic, A Room with a View, when Helena Bonham Carter opens her hotel window and looks out at the Duomo in all its red-tiled glory, she could just as easily have been on the terrace of Villa La Vedetta, a gorgeously romantic retreat set on a rise with a breathtaking view of Florence’s cathedral and city rooftops.

With just 18 guest rooms and suites, Villa La Vedetta has the feel of a private home, albeit with a Michelin star restaurant, and a large swimming pool and Jacuzzi set in landscaped gardens. The interior decor is classic rather than contemporary—each guest room comes with a sumptuous marble and mosaic bathroom—but also offers plasma TVs, CD players and internet access. Be sure to dine in Onice, a pleasant vaulted restaurant and lounge bar in cool grays, ivory and cream, which opens onto that spectacular terrace for al fresco dining in the warmer months. A room with a view? You’ll definitely find it here. It’s a little out of the town center, but there’s a shuttle service on request.

Room rates from €160.

Description: Remember that moment in A Room with a View when Helena Bonham Carter opens her hotel window and looks out at the Duomo in all its red-tiled glory? Well, you can get a very similar effect from the terrace of Villa La Vedetta, a gorgeously romantic retreat set on a rise with a breathtaking view of the Cathedral and city rooftops. With just 18 guest rooms and suites, this has the feel of a private home, albeit with a one Michelin-starred restaurant, and a large swimming pool and Jacuzzi set in landscaped gardens. The interior decor is classic rather than contemporary—each guest room comes with a sumptuous marble and mosaic bathroom—but also offers plasma TVs, CD players and internet access. Make sure you dine in Onice, a very pleasant vaulted restaurant and lounge bar in cool greys, ivory and cream, which opens onto that spectacular terrace for al fresco dining in the warmer months. A room with a view? You’ll definitely find it here. It’s a little out of the town center, but there’s a shuttle service on request.
