The Villa, surrounded by a splendid garden of 18 hectares, is in the centre of the Bellosquardo hills, with a marvellous view on the Arno Valley and the City of Florence. The real estate complex is made up of a series of buildings, amongst which the main one, at the same time articulated in three distinct blocks. The building on the right represents the noble part of the Villa and is articulated on three levels above ground and a basement level, partially occupied (first floor) by the Museum dedicated to Enrico Caruso. The second building, located on the left, called ex farm, maintains its main functions uniting elements tied to farmers with facilities and characteristics similar to residential homes. The farm and the Villa are connected by an entrance that was enlarged by Enrico Caruso where the chapel is located and the chimney area that looks upon a high covered terrace. The property is completed by a series of buildings with accessory functions, including the guardian home, the lemon tree area and a series of warehouses and green-houses. The property is on the whole in a good condition but needs restructuration interventions. The transformation of the complex into a luxurious recreational facility, must safeguard the museum activities that will have to be maintained. Villa – S.U.L. (m²) approx. 3587 Guardia House – S.U.L.
