The Villa Borghese, also known as Villa Medicea of Montevettolini, a grand mansion built in the XVI century, was once one of the 12 sumptuous hunting residences of the Granduca 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 charming medieval village of Montevettolini, the villa has retained its original architectural beauty and serenity.
