Scattered about the garden are large terracotta orci containing bright flowers which add their summer cheer to the rarefied atmosphere and panorama.
At the center of the garden stands an old well which is testimony to the ancient origins of the building and which embodies the history and traditions of this rich and generous land.
Climbing a spiral stone stairway guests can reach the gazebo furnished with small tables and arm chairs, which provides a breathtaking view of Florence – the perfect spot for enjoying one of the spectacular sunsets with cocktails or simply a fine glass of wine.
