Villa Covoni its an elegant historical dwelling sited in Benedetto da Maiano Street right on the hillside of Florence, where personalities such as Herman Hesse and Le Corbusier were hooked by the beauty of Fiesoles houses and from the luxuriant nature of Dantes city. Strategically located, Villa Covoni is few minutes away from Fiesole and just six kilometres from Florences Historic centre . The Villas position surely represents a key element of the building. Since the fourteenth century Fiesole has been considered one of the most exclusive suburb around Florence and, even today, is the wealthiest district of Tuscany where influential celebrities have their residence. The district overlooks Florences cathedral and its historic centre looking north, the countryside and the vineyard pointing south.
