Villa Oliva Buonvisi

The villa features a harmonious five-arch portico with stone columns on its north facade, surrounded by extensive terraced gardens on multiple levels.

Dating back to the late 15th century, the Buonvisi family owned the property before it passed through several noble families including the Montecatini and Prince Carlo Poniatowski.

The garden incorporates Renaissance design elements with diverse sculptural decorations, including terracotta statues of Diana, mythical creatures, and a siren between grinning satyrs.

The garden welcomes visitors from March 15th to November 5th, with opening hours from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM and 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM.

The property contains a green gallery formed by ancient trees from the 16th century, including lime trees, maples, English oaks, and hollies.
