Villa Latera

Are you a serious book worm who is dreaming of a getaway to a perfect villa in Florence? Are you looking for attractions that are a little off the beaten track and suitable for those who love nothing more than a great read and evocative settings? Well, then why not head to a café with an unbeatable view of the city’s Duomo that is located inside an especially scenic public library? Sounds like a perfect bookish adventure on vacation in Tuscany to us!

The Biblioteca delle Oblate, or the Oblate Library, is located inside a former convent building that is right in the historic centre of Florence, mere steps from the city’s grand cathedral and its towering dome overhead. The Oblate complex itself dates back to the 14th century and was transformed into a public library in the 20th century. In 1953 it was named the central municipal library of Florence.

Here at Easy Reserve, we like to sometimes curate recent reviews of properties on our websites by customers who have just enjoyed stays in these vacation rentals. This is a great way for future customers and returning guests alike to find the gems that others have directly experienced and can report back on. In particular, it is an ideal way to find five-star experiences.

However, while we aim to provide wonderful villa and holiday rentals to our clients, we also aim to always satisfy their requests, needs, queries and more all throughout the booking process; from finding a rental, to paying, to arrival, and right through their stay. Reviews of our service are also available on our website, with over a decade worth of examples to choose from. We also have had a Trustpilot account for several years now, which is an independent source of these reviews that many prefer to reference.

Here are a selection of some of our five-star reviews over on Trustpilot that may be of interest if you have been thinking about booking a vacation with us!

One of our categories of villas that always book up really quickly and well in advance of the summer are our big villas in Tuscany. 

These villas generally have private pools, sizeable grounds, six plus bedrooms for twelve plus guests, common areas where everyone can spend time together, and private spaces where you can decompress and have some alone time. 

The author of this article happened to study art history at university and particularly admired the dreamy mythological paintings of one Sandro Botticelli but only from a distance for a great many years. Upon finally seeing one in real life, the resulting sobbing and outpouring of emotion at their beauty may have alarmed the gallery security staff quite a bit...

Many of us, in fact, are familiar with his works (especially the likes of the beyond iconic Birth of Venus) from their recurring use and appearances throughout pop culture and art but it is a rather different experience to get to see these stunning paintings in person and with your own eyes. Art-lovers and those interested in the great Renaissance Masters should certainly seek Botticelli out and, luckily, if you are planning a vacation in Italy, you will have plenty of opportunities to do so in museums all over the country.

Here are a list of the various museums in question, their locations, and the works that they house for your reference and convenience if you are thinking about booking one of our villas in Italy and are looking to make time to seek out some Botticelli works during your stay:
