famous and noble Florentine family in 1600 and then to the Royal

elements and portions that go back even as far as the Middle Ages.

panoramic road which leads to the famous medieval town of San

location: close to all major sights in Tuscany at easy driving

The villa is surrounded by a large park with centuries-old cypress
trees. Guests can wander through the lanes among a rich variety of
green plants, colourful flowers and delightful scents, or enjoy the
shade under a delightful gazebo with wrought-iron tables and chairs.

mountains 80 kms away.

candlelight in the romantic cellar. Our cook creates traditional
