Tuscany Vacation Villas

The villa has four floors and is characterized by a smaller high central part with two additional floors. In the past on this upper part there was a clock, now lost. On the sides there are two lower parts compared to the central body of the villa. In the rear with respect to the main facade there are areas dedicated to the team and there is also a small side chapel. Since the end of the nineteenth century the oratory was consecrated and mass could be celebrated.
