The entrance fee may seem a bit expensive, but the tour of the villa and the guide, who will reveal various information and curiosities about it, are both worthwhile. The garden, in a purely English style with green courtyards and huge trees, is very beautiful and well kept but it is the villa, fully decorated and furnished with period furniture, that will literally leave you breathless (unfortunately it is not possible to take pictures , so you'll have to go there in person to appreciate its rare beauty!). Originally called Villa Camigliano because of the small village that hosts it, it then took on the name of Villa Torrigiani, which stands out from the others in the countryside of Lucca and Tuscany for the colored facade of the main building, deriving from the use of different materials: gray stone and tuff alternating with yellow pillars and arches, white marble statues, ocher plaster in the lower part and white in the upper part.
