Hotel Villa Agape is near the Arcetri Observatory in Florence, and is surrounded by a 8-hectare park with olive and cypress trees. A free round-trip shuttle service to the city centre is available at the property.

Staying at Villa Agape was like stepping back in time and living like a royal on the hills overlooking the city. The place has a certain charm that modern hotels lack and the fact that its a bit outside of the city center is a warm welcome after a long day of sightseeing.
