VILLA DESCRIPTION
VILLA 955 IN TUSCANY, ITALY
Villa 955, a grand mansion built in the XVI century, was once one of the 12 somptuous hunting
residences of the Granduke Ferdinando I, grandson of the famous Lorenzo de' Medici il Magnifico.
Built on a hill of olive trees and vineyard overlooking the Val di Nievole valley, next to the medioeval
village of Montevettolini, the villa has retained its original architectural beauty and serenity. The Villa
has been carefully restored and improved upon by the present owner, the prince Borghese, whose
family bought the property more than 200 years ago. All the rooms are decorated with antique
forniture and paintings, venetian glass chandeliers and persian carpets, while all the bathrooms have
been recently renewed. Guests will enjoy a special atmosphere while walking through the enchanting
Italian garden, the beautiful park, the numerous bedrooms and the large swimming pool. The villa is 40
minutes by car from the international airprots of Florence and Pisa and ten minutes from the railway
station of Montecatini. Trains to Florence and Pisa leave every hour.
