Villa Palmieri, Fiesole, Renaissance villa in Fiesole, Italy
The villa stands on the slopes below Piazza San Domenico, offering panoramic views across Florence and the surrounding Tuscan countryside.
Built in the 14th century by the Fini family, the property changed ownership in 1454 when Marco Palmieri acquired it and established its current name.
The gardens of Villa Palmieri provided the setting for Giovanni Boccaccio's literary masterwork Decameron, written during the period of the Black Death.
The oval geometric garden features lemon trees surrounding a central basin, protected by nineteenth-century glass installations during winter months.
Queen Victoria selected this residence for three separate stays between 1888 and 1894 during her visits to Florence.
