Perched on a verdant hilltop overlooking the city, this 15th-century villa with a majestic façade thought to be the work of Michelangelo himself is a consummate urban retreat with sprawling, fragrant gardens and a serene swimming pool. In addition to a broad selection of sumptuous rooms, each elegantly restored and outfitted with custom-made furniture, the property impresses with its emphasis on all things culinary: while the Tuscan-inflected Loggia Restaurant is considered one of the city’s best, an in-house cookery school by chef Attilo Di Fabrizio instructs would-be master chefs in small classes.
