Villa Capponi

Villa Capponi stands on multiple terraced levels along the Pian dei Giullari hillside, featuring panoramic views across Florence and the surrounding agricultural lands.

Built in the 14th century as a country palace with a tower, the villa was purchased by the Capponi family in 1572 who transformed it into a noble residence.

The garden design includes formal geometric patterns with box hedges, secret gardens, and a stone lily pool, reflecting traditional Italian garden architecture.

The villa features two panoramic loggias added in the 19th century, using columns obtained from Florence's city center renovation projects.

A centuries-old wisteria plant decorates the northern terrace, while a 14th-century dovecote remains visible at the highest point of the property.
