Villa Il Ventaglio, Neoclassical villa with park in Florence, Italy
The Villa Il Ventaglio features a romantic park with a small lake, an island, and winding paths across five hectares of landscaped grounds.
The property began as a rest stop for pilgrims traveling to San Domenico in Fiesole during the 15th century before architect Giuseppe Poggi redesigned it in 1839.
The gardens display the evolution of Italian landscape design, transitioning from a functional farm to a romantic park with carriage roads and ornamental features.
Located at Via Giovanni Aldini 12, the villa's park opens from 8:15 AM to 5:00 PM in winter with extended summer hours.
A network of laurel and wayfaring tree hedges forms patterns throughout the grounds, complemented by native Taxus baccata along the pathways.
