| This is one of the most magical places in the Florentine
hills: the architecture of the villa and of the old garden is justly famous
and in fact, the garden has become one of the most famous in the world.
The villa was finished in 1610 by Zanobi Lapi and during the succeeding
centuries has belonged to the Marquis Capponi, Princess Ghykha, sister
of the queen of Serbia and other well-known noble families. It lies on
the hills above Florence, just outside the village of Settignano, with
a beautiful view of the countryside and of the city of Florence, which
can be reached in ten minutes by car or by the convenient public transport
that passes through the village. The furnishings consist of perfectly
restored antique furniture, decorated with elegant tapestries and old
paintings. During your stay three domestics are on the premises: a cook
and two waiters are on call every day for the cleaning of the villa, for
the preparation of breakfast, lunch and dinner and for waiting at table;
everything is included in the rental price.
Location: Settignano-Firenze/Tuscany |
