Beautiful villa of the Medici family: the Italian gardens are visible for free, with their statues, orangerie, Animal grotto. The villa is private: it is the headquarters of the Accademia della Crusca.

The Villa Medicea at Castello just a few kilometers from Florence's historical center is an ancient complex which boasts an elegant villa and a splendid Italian garden, second only to the Boboli Gardens in Florence. The Villa is not accessible to the public since it has been the home of the prestigious Crusca Academy since 1583, a school dedicated to the study of the Italian language. You can, however, visit the splendid gardens without paying! A little history about the Villa The villa dates back to the 14th century but it gained prestige only when the Medici Family bought it in 1477. Just imagine: the two masterpieces, "The Birth of Venus" and the "Allegory of Spring", by Botticelli now visited by millions every year at the Uffizi Gallery were specifically commissioned by Lorenzo dei Medici (the cousin of Lorenzo il Magnifico) for this villa. The villa reached the height of its splendor with Cosimo I dei Medici, Florence's new Duke, who turned it into a magnificent residence to celebrate the greatness of the Medici family. He ordered Giorgio Vasari to restore the villa and Niccolò Tribolo to project the Italian garden.Visit the Villa La Villa is set in Castello on via Castello 46, Florence, not far from the airport of Florence.
