Luxury Villas

Location

The villa stands in a peaceful area on the hills of north-central Tuscany, in Lower Valdarno, a few kilometres from Montecatini Terme.

Nowadays a famous thermal town, like many other Tuscan towns in the past Montecatini was the theatre of several bloody battles between the Medicis and the families that ruled the other towns of the region. After having been conquered by the Ghibelline army leaded by Uguccione della Faggiola in 1315, in the following decade Montecatini passed again under the rule of Florence. In the second half of the 16th century, the Medicean army almost laid waste the town as a form of retaliation: in 1554 the inhabitants of Montecatini had welcome the Sienese as liberators.

The first thermal facilities were built in 1530, but the thermal baths that can be admired today were built only two centuries later, when the area was completely drained by order of Grand Duke Leopold.

Thanks to its thermal baths, Montecatini is nowadays one of the most important Italian thermal towns. Many famous Italian and foreign writers and poets, politicians, fashion designers and artists visited Montecatini between the late 19th and the 20th century.
