the Villa Avita has had many historical influences that along the way have each left their legacy. Notably the Renaissance Period sets the tone for the Decor and Furnishings of this home and even more recently during the Second World War the house was used as quarters by both Allied and Wehrmacht Troops. Writings in English and German as well as soldiers signatures can still be seen on some of the walls. Located some 35 kilometers north of Florence, it allows comfortable day trips to this beautiful city while residing in Tuscany. Points of interest include the village of Vicchio (5 minutes drive from the villa) which was the birthplace of the Artists Giotto and Fra Angelico; the town of Borgo San Lorenzo (15 mins) with a 12th century restored church or the town of San Piero (15 mins) famous for a Medici built fortress and the Castles of Cafaggiolo and Trebbio. Many local Italian villages (for example Vicchio, Dicomano) have local markets on fixed days of the week and during the summer months many of the little towns and villages in Tuscany enjoy fiera (fairs) and sagra (feasts). The most important one is held at Vicchio. The ancient Fiera Calda is usually held during the last week or August.
Accommodations: This historical Italian Villa is built on two levels with wonderful views all around it. The home is adorned with Tuscan Antiques and located in a Walled Garden; with about 10,000 meters given over to Lawn and Centuries Old Trees. This is an ideal area for walking and exploration.
