DESCRIPTION
The Resort’s origins date back to 1400. The villa boasts a unique position on Fiesole hills only 5 km from Florence historical center. In these areas some prestigious artists like Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Benedetto and Giuliano from Maiano, Boccaccio and many more worked. For centuries the hills between Fiesole and Florence, where the Resort is located, with its Hamlet and the houses that are spread in the countryside, have been a place where the first stone to build the city of Florence was dug.
Walking through the olive grove, you will easily reach the Villa, the main house that looks on to the entire estate. The Villa has been the set for numerous films, including: Tea with Mussolini by Franco Zeffirelli and A Room with a View by James Ivory. It has all the private residence features: magnificent rooms (Tapestries Room, Red Lounge, Old Dining Room, Carriage Room and Billiard Room) with original decors and furnishings, a large terrace overlooking Florence and an Italian style garden. The villa is now rented in exclusive for every event.
