Holly Apartment: Historic Tuscan Estate near Florence

Discover Holly, a delightful ground floor apartment situated on a magnificent ancient estate whose rich history stretches back to 970. This remarkable property holds historical significance as the location where, in 1308, officials from Florence, Pisa and Volterra gathered to establish the official borders between Volterra and San Gimignano. Throughout the centuries, the estate endured periods of ransacking and reconstruction under various owners before being acquired by the distinguished Marquis Capponi. The Grand Duke of Tuscany himself frequently chose this prestigious location as his residence during his travels throughout Tuscany.
