Villa di Bellosguardo, Renaissance villa in Bellosguardo hills, Florence, Italy.
The Villa di Bellosguardo stands atop a hill south of Florence, featuring a 13th-century tower and extensive gardens overlooking the city skyline and Tuscan landscape.
The villa passed to the Franchetti family in 1913 when the grandmother of current owner Barone Amerigo Franchetti acquired the property, maintaining its Renaissance heritage.
The villa displays architectural elements from the Renaissance period, including vaulted wood ceilings, carved stone fireplaces, frescoes, and numerous Florentine antique furnishings.
