This Medici hunting mansion in the Tuscan countryside was built in the 16th century as one of the twelve grand hunting residences of the Grand Duke Ferdinando I de’ Medici, grandson of the famous Lorenzo II Magnifico (Lorenzo the Magnificent). In its past the villa has been the dwelling of many illustrious guests, among them Paolina Bonaparte, sister of Napoleon and the Grand Duchess of Tuscany.Tucked into a serene hillside of olive trees and vineyards, rolling valleys stretch wide between Florence and Lucca in the near distance. Careful restoration has been attended to by the present owner, a prince whose family purchased the property over two hundred years ago.
