I read your post whilst researching for our two-month visit to Italy which found us living in Firenze for a month this past September. Your instructions were great and the trip was marvelous, easy and FUN! While video is not permitted in the Villa I never-the-less posted an HD YouTube video of our visit with nice shots of the villa’s exterior and gardens. My video text lists visiting hours and mentions that one should ask those in the small entrance building where exactly you must walk to catch the return bus.

My HD YouTube video is found at:

Other than your post we found little written about this villa which made the visit all the better. Again thanks for the heads up.

Carlos-

So glad I could help!! It’s definitely not an easy trip to explain, so I’m ecstatic that you were able to get there with my instructions. You know what, considering a lot of villas are opening up for the summer I may just have to do another post about them. Hope you enjoyed your trip (and I was once a student in New York City too…)!

Im a student from New York City, I came here to Florence to study the medici Villas and I have to say If it wasnt because of your instructions I would have never made it by myself to Poggio a caiano. Thank You so much.
Wish you had instructions on the other villas.
Thanks again,
