Description
Constructed during the second half of the 16th century, the residence was passed down by a long line of distinguished aristocratic characters and noble families who have preserved its elegance and magnificence. Important renovations were carried out during the eighteenth century when the central body was adorned with a loggia and five Tuscan arches. Two side wings were also added forming a large courtyard with a grand gate onto the park.
The decorations within the villa are characterized by trompe-l'oeil painted by important eighteenth-century artists, frescoed halls, coffered ceilings decorated in pure gold and large windows which light spaces of incredible beauty.
On the first and second floors of the villa are eight spacious suites, elegantly furnished and refined with period details such as canopy beds, decorated walls and ceilings with exposed beams.
The residence is immersed in a magnificent park of approximately 10 hectares with mature magnolia trees and holm oaks of more than 400 years in age. Through the park runs a natural spring which forms a waterfall adding to the enchanting verdant atmosphere.
There is also a neo-Gothic structure with a turret evoking a medieval fortress. This building was constructed from the original Pisan lookout tower dating back to the 1200s. In addition is a 200 sqm building with two pleasant apartments.
One of the most important historical Tuscan cities, Pisa owes its popularity to the famous Leaning Tower in Piazza dei Miracoli next to the Baptistery and the Cathedral. Declared a World Heritage Site, these landmarks are visited every year by millions of international tourists and also native Italians. Pisa boasts many other places of great interest such as Piazza dei Cavalieri, the Torre della Muda, the Lungarni (Mediceo, Gambacorti, Pacinotti, Galilei, Sonnino, Simonelli), the dell'Orologio, the old walls, the medieval city (with the Borgo Stretto, the tower houses, the Arab markets and much more), the Tuttomondo mural by the international artist Keith Haring, Piazza Garibaldi, Piazza Dante, the Palazzo dei Medici and much more. Surrounding Pisa are numerous towns and villages of great historical and artistic interest which contain architectural pearls such as prestigious historic villas and period residences. These properties often date back to the Medici or Renaissance era and are true works of art where luxury is combined with Tuscan elegance.
