Profile
The villa (10 sleeping accommodations) was build at the end of the 16th century and was originally used for defensive purposes. It stands about 2 kilometres from Monterchi, a small town renowned all over the world for the famous fresco "Madonna del Parto" by Piero della Francesca, and due to its geographical position at the border between the Grand Duchy of Tuscany and the Papal States, in the past was the theatre of numerous battles. In fact, in the villa are still visible the ancient arrow slits the soldiers used to hit the enemies and many weapons have been found in the building. The villa has been recently renovated respecting the characteristic structure of Tuscan countryside houses.
