Villa di Quarto, Renaissance villa in northern Florence, Italy.

Villa di Quarto sits at the foot of Monte Morello with three floors spanning 200 feet by 60 feet and a nineteenth-century loggia containing three arches.

The villa changed ownership in 1862 when Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna of Russia acquired it and filled the property with numerous art collections.

The main entrance opens to a hall with marble busts and frescoed vault, leading to a grand staircase that connects to a large decorated saloon.

The villa offers access from both via Pietro Dazzi and via del Gioiello, with sufficient parking spaces available for visitors arriving by car.

Mark Twain resided at Villa di Quarto with his family until 1904, documenting his experiences and observations about the property in his autobiography.
