Tuscany Vacation Villas

If you are planning a holiday in Tuscany, you want privacy and autonomy, love pottery and want to learn the tricks of the artistic working of ceramics, the ideal choice is one of our villas in Montelupo Fiorentino in Lower Valdarno. On this page we offer our selection of Villas in Montelupo Fiorentino.

A few kilometers from Florence, surrounded by greenery, stands the town Montelupo Fiorentino in the Lower Valdarno. In the Renaissance, Montelupo Fiorentino was one of the most important centers of ceramic production in Italy. In the Museum of pottery in Montelupo thare are 1200 works of art in ceramics made from the end of the 13th century to the end of the 18th century.
Visit the Church San Giovanni Evangelista, founded in 1326 and housing a painting that is probably by Botticelli, the Church San Lorenzo built in 1204 near the Castle Montelupo, and the Palazzo del Podestà. We would like to remind you also that the important sculptor Baccio da Montelupo was born here in 1469.

Among the Villas in Montelupo Fiorentino, the most important is certainly the Villa Medicea dell`Ambrogiana, whose position is extremely scenographic. With its four massive towers, the villa was modified by Ferdinando de Medici and it was the favourite of Cosimo III de` Medici. Part of the villa can be visited with guided tours.
