Independent villa Il Palazzo - Villas Arezzo Italy

Il Palazzo  is a beautifully restored historical manor house dating from 1785, and was a farming family’s residence for two hundred years. In 1889 the owner, came to live in Ripoli with his family. He had bought a number of farm estates in the area, and il Palazzo  was in a good and central position to run and manage all of them. In 1902 the manor house was extended as the family had already grown. They used the services of a local artist, Giangio, from Monterchi, who decorated the majority part of the bedrooms and corridors. Local livestock farmers would bring their animals and stay at the Palazzo, then go together with the owners to the market in Monterchi.One of the rooms was dedicated to the production of silk. During the 2nd World War the house was used as a refuge to the inhabitants of Ripoli, during a 2 week bombardment by German forces.In more recent times, the house has been used as a family home, from where they managed the farming of their local land.
