Ancient italian country villas

Ancient italian country villas that belonged to noble Medici were originally farms, but were later trasformed into confortable and prestigious residences where one could entertain friends, political figures, musicians, writer and actors in search of peace and quiet in the Tuscan countryside. These noble signori brought along with them the custom of an urban society which was culturally very open to the concept of enjoying free time. The italian luxury villas were a most apt stage for fancy dress parties, balls and small theatres. So here was found a magnificent artistic, architectural and historical heritage, the rediscovery of a minor Tuscany region and of a culturally rich, beautiful past. 30 km far from Florence stands this luxury italian villa, surrounded by a luxuriant park and with a striking lime-tree lined avenue that will take you straight to the front entrace. A calm atmosphere envolopes you as soon as you enter the warm and rened halls, which are decorated with noted paintings of richly dressed 'signori' from a time gone by. Antique furniture and interesting objects from the family's own collection have been thoughtfully arranged throughout the halls, some items have been expertly restored including a small alabaster ivory coloured temple decorated with tiny flowers and large chandelier with a multitude of intense turquoise shimmering droplets.
