Villa I Collazzi

Villa I Collazzi stands on a rectangular terrace atop a hill, featuring a U-shaped layout with a raised courtyard facing Florence and triple-sided double loggias.

The construction of the villa proceeded gradually for the Dini family of Florence, with architect Santi di Tito, a student of Michelangelo, leading the project.

The noble floor centers around a grand hall reaching sixteen meters in height, covered by a barrel vault and decorated with period artworks.

Visitors can access the villa through a cypress-lined avenue created in 1853, with guided tours available by contacting the property management at info@collazzi.it.

In 1938, landscape architect Pietro Porcinai designed a rectangular pool using yellow and grey quartzite with pietra serena edges, integrating it into the lawn.
