Florence Historical Villas
The city and province of Florence are scattered with villas, palaces and castles the most important Florentine aristocratic families commissioned during the past centuries. The most renowned and visited are certainly the Medicean villas in Cafaggiolo and Castello and Villa Demidoff in Vaglia.
 Boboli
In more recent times, members of Northern European aristocracy chose Fiesole as their favourite restorative place and bought and renovated big villas (such as Villa Le Balze, Villa Nieuwenkamp and Villa I Tatti) according to the typical 19th and 20th century taste.
Florence outskirts are rich in villas with gorgeous gardens (Villa Capponi in Arcetri, Villa Gamberaia in Settignano and Villa Strozzi al Boschetto), whereas the city centre is scattered with impressive palaces (such as Palazzo Medici-Riccardi, Palazzo Frescobaldi and Palazzo Corsini al Prato), once the residence of the most important Florentine families.
