The Villa originated from an 11th-century Ubaldine Tower, later taken by the Medici family, who transformed it into their hunting lodge or party villa. In fact, unlike other residential villas, this villa has a lot of light, due to the large windows, which are not present in other Medici residences. Nestled in the green valley between Sant'Agata and Galliano in the municipality of Scarperia, it is ideally situated for climate and lighting, hence its name. In fact, as an anecdote tells, the Villa enjoys the first ray of sunlight of the day and the last drop of light of sunset, from which the first sprout was born, which in Florentine was called, precisely,
"Lo sprocco."
.The Villa is strongly linked to Florence for the dynasty that strongly wanted it, the Medici, who appear in the Heraldic Hall, but also to the Vatican for the two popes legend has it celebrated several masses in the chapel of the Villa (Leo X and Clement VII).
The words that you "breathe" in the villa are "Atmosphere"-"Panorama"- and "Privacy," because these are the 3 things that immediately jump to the eyes of those who arrive. A fairy-tale atmosphere, like going back in time (To the time of the Medici), a breathtaking view of the Mugello valley and complete Privacy to enjoy these things in complete relaxation.
