From the 12th century to the present day
Originally built as a guard tower in the early Medieval period by a powerful landowner from Romagna, who at the time owned most of the territory east of Florence leading across the Casentino Valley as far as Arezzo.
The tower was overseen by a local family and later in 1229 it transpired to become part of the estate of the nearby Abbey of Vallombrosa.
Between the 13th and 16th Centuries due to economic difficulties the landowners were forced to give up these houses and it was only the nobility and wealthy families from Florence that could afford to run them. Aristocrats, families from Florence bought the villa and over a period increased the volume of the estate joining together the farm buildings, transforming the property into a Baroque style villa, typical of the 17th Century.
The 1930’s saw the beginning of the decline of their villa, when the agricultural activity could no longer support the general upkeep of the estate and maintenance of the villa, finally resulting in it being completely abandoned. In 1991 the present owners bought the villa in its collapsed condition with severe structural defects and set about restoring and reinforcing the property to bring it back to its original splendor, one of the finest examples of 17th Century villas in this region.
