Description
Villa Medicea Lo Sprocco is located 6 km (4 mi) from Scarperia, Italy and only 49 km (30 mi) from Florence. Villa Medicea Lo Sprocco is a nice stone building with private pool, air conditioning and WiFi internet. The property can accommodate up to 18 people comfortably in nine bedrooms with nine bathrooms.
History
The foundations of Villa Medicea Lo Sprocco date back to the 1400s, commissioned by Lorenzo and Giovanni de' Medici, sons of Pier Francesco, and later sold to Taddeo Ducci in 1494. A cornerstone of the ancient Medici lineage, the Villa incorporates an 11th-century Ubaldina tower and was chosen by Lorenzo the Magnificent as a hunting lodge. After passing through the Gherardi family, the property was acquired by the Bolognese de' Bianchi family. Major restorations were initiated in 1898 by Count Filippo Sassoli de' Bianchi to restore its 15th-century appearance, despite significant 18th-century refurbishments, including the still-consecrated Chapel dated 1729. Key internal features include the Salone dei Medici with a 14th-century pietra serena fireplace bearing the Medici coat of arms, and the Papal Apartment which once hosted Popes Leo X and Clement VII.
The Experience
Upon arrival you’ll find a nice clean well-maintained property with views of the hills ideal for a splendid vacation in Tuscany. For your pleasure you will find a private pool where you can unwind while enjoying a nice cold beverage after a busy day of sightseeing.
The owners
Massimo
As the villa's sommelier and maître, his focus is to introduce you to Tuscan wines and extra virgin olive oil, and to explain the dishes prepared by the villa's master chef and presented at the buffet. He is also particularly interested in rum and high-end spirits, which he serves at the villa bar alongside aperitifs, cocktails and appetisers.

She is always prepared to demonstrate her techniques for baking delicious cakes, which you can then recreate when you return home.
