Villa Medici. The universally known Medici heraldic crest above the door proclaims this villa to be one of the series of Medici villas built by the Florentine family to impose and reinforce its status in Tuscany from the Renaissance onwards. This particular villa, built in the seventeenth century, has like all the others passed into other ownership, but the sense of history and power remains. Approached uphill along a fine avenue of cypresses and lavender, the villa stands magnificently flanked by formal Italianate gardens. Tinkling fountains and former stable buildings remind visitors of a glorious past, yet the modern conveniences of pool and tennis court are seamlessly blended into the perfectly landscaped 18 acres of grounds, rich in groves of olive and evergreen oak.
No less a sensation greets you on entering the villa. The antique furniture, the room proportions and the painted ceilings fit easily with the modern luxuries of air conditioning in the upper bedrooms, ADSL internet connection and plasma screen satellite TVs. Guests staying at the villa will be pampered by a staff of a maid, a cook and two gardeners. These will prepare and serve all meals, only the purchase costs of the ingredients being charged to guests.
For larger parties up to 22, the nearby (300 meters) "La Colonica" can be rented together with this villa subject to availability.
