Villa Merlo Nero
Villa Merlo Nero is an elegant Estate filled with history, situated 3 km from the Ponte Vecchio (Old Bridge) in Florence. The Estate is close enough to enjoy the city of Florence while also being fully immersed in the tranquil atmosphere of the Tuscan hills.
The newly renovated Estate comprises a main Villa (7 bedrooms), Villa Antica (5 bedrooms), and the Cottage (1 ensuite bedroom) which can accommodate a total of 26 guests. The ground floor of the main villa has elegant reception rooms which can be used for part of your wedding celebrations, as well as the beautiful Italian Gardens and outdoor areas. The Villa is decorated with antique furniture and paintings representing the family history of the property which goes right back to a famous Renaissance Painter.
The villa is surrounded by traditional Italian gardens, an incredible maze, a swimming pool, and olive groves. Close to the pool is an outdoor kitchen with a wood-fired oven where you can enjoy a pizza party with a pizzaiolo.
A private chef for dinners/breakfast, pizzaiolo, cooking courses, shuttle services, and Tuscan tours can all be arranged with the venue on request.
