The Villa, the oldest structure of this exclusive Tuscan Resort, was built in the fifteenth century in a fertile area planted with fruit orchards and experimental gardens. Leonardo da Vinci was the first one to draw the maps of the territory.
Restored and modernized in the eighteenth century, it finally became an agricultural estate in the following century and more buildings were added on the grounds.
What is special about this venue is that you feel immersed in the peace of the Tuscan countryside, but yet Florence with its monuments, museums, works of art and wonderful shopping is at your doorsteps!
