The painted halls
Trompe-l'œil, trellises and landscapes on the walls.

One villa. A city at its feet.
The view no photograph does justice to
Everyone who has been here mentions the same thing. «A fantastic view on Florence and the Duomo dome», «you only need to look out over Florence to understand». The dome, the bell tower, the rooftops: right there, beyond the garden, from dawn until night.

The spaces
Halls painted in trompe-l'œil, a frescoed ceiling with cherubs, an arcaded loggia, a garden of clipped box parterres. Inside and out, every hour has its place.
Your day.
Before an entire city.
The ceremony on the lawn with Florence on the horizon, long tables beneath the marquee and its crystal chandeliers, the lemon house strung with lights. Your guests will remember it, and they will tell you so.
When evening falls
Two things light up
The villa, and the city below it. «A marvellous place with a marvellous view of Florence, at night too» — that is a guest review, not a promise of ours.
Marvelous mansion with a big park and a fantastic view on Florence and the Duomo dome. A great place for private parties or cerimonies.Where we are — Via delle Forbici 31, on the hills of Florence. The lane up is narrow: it is easier from San Damiano.
