The Park

The grounds of Villa Pitiana date back to the nineteenth-century renovations that marked the property’s definitive transition from a farm to a prestigious residence.

Designed in accordance with the landscape architecture of the time, the arboretum is characterised by majestic, non-native tall trees, imported in keeping with the tradition of late nineteenth-century English-style gardens, creating an evocative and harmonious setting. Situated in the immediate vicinity of the Villa and nestled within the grounds, the Pitiana arboretum is one of the most important in Tuscany, alongside that of the Vallombrosa Forest, offering guests a unique experience in contact with nature.

For the most curious and enthusiastic guests, a detailed list of the arboretum’s most significant trees is available at Reception, alongside extensive documentation on botanical species which can be consulted in the Villa’s library.

Today, this historic setting is enhanced by new spaces designed for guests’ wellbeing and leisure. Seamlessly integrated into the greenery, a new open-air gym area has been created, accessible 24 hours a day, allowing guests to work out at any time of day or night whilst surrounded by the park’s centuries-old beauty.

For moments of fun and socialising, there is a tennis table available, whilst for those who simply wish to unwind, relaxation tables have been placed around the grounds – ideal for a restorative break or for reading a book in the shade.
