The Bibbiani's Villa in Capraia e Limite

The Bibbiani's Villa was built during the XVII-th century along the southern slopes of the Montalbano mount for the will of the Frescobaldi's family.

This latter held the property of the villa during the next centuries.

In 1809 the villa passed to Cosimo Ridolfi, who made a botanical garden built where it is possible to admire numerous and different floral species showing wonderful colours and inebriating perfumes.

The park of the Bibbiani's Villa extends on twenty hectares surface and it consists of Italian gardens, where it is possible to admire some palm and rare floral species, wooden areas and English grasses.

Interesting to visit is also the icehouse, whose building goes back to the Middle Ages, that once was used to save the foodstuff.
