About This Villa
Villa Scudo is a spacious four-bedroom apartment in the Oltrarno, two minutes from Palazzo Pitti and the Boboli Gardens. Its open living room is bright with two tall windows, original frescoed ceilings and classical columns, set against a calm palette of greys and neutrals.
The eat-in kitchen seats twelve around one long table — ideal for families and friends travelling together — and there's a private sauna for unwinding after a day on foot. Four en-suite bedrooms sleep eight, including a master with a fireplace and a bathroom with a whirlpool tub.
