This elegant property, originally the summer home of a noble Florentine family, has been meticulously maintained and stands on 18.5 acres of expertly designed gardens with 12 acres of olive groves and woodland.

By the 18th century, Villa Lesa housed the precious archives of Vasari, known as the father of art history, and later a collection of Napoleonic memorabilia belonging to its owner, the granddaughter of the Emperor.
