A business activity of the Ferragamo family, of the fashion house "Salvatore Ferragamo", Windows on Italy is born of the Windows on Tuscany evolution, the property agency founded in 1986 by Leonardo and Beatrice Ferragamo through their desire to support the artistic heritage of Florence.
This is the spirit that has guided us in our choice of exclusive private properties in the most enchanting Italian locations, and in the creation of our tourist rentals portfolio of superior properties. The elegant architecture, the renaissance-style arched ceilings, and the frescoed 15th century palazzi are the characteristics - often unknown to the majority of tourists -- that mark our properties. Some of those in Florence, personally decorated by Maria Beatrice Ferragamo, contain antique furniture, valuable fabrics and timeless atmospheres, without compromising on comfort and practicality. In this way you can savour history, culture, and art, in the comfort of your own living room.
We have learnt from our clients the importance of feeling at home when you are far away and how, often, the smallest details make all the difference.... experience, for us, is the key. To make your stay special, we will be happy to help you in selecting the ideal property for you: a castle, a villa, a farmhouse, or a city centre apartment.
