Villa La Magia

bellissimo posto e un boschetto bellissimo

Bellissimo posto per rilassarsi un po', sia che si tratti di un classico pranzo sul prato , che di una passeggiata , è un posto meraviglioso con una vista spettacolare sulle colline ??

Bella villa, tenuta molto bene che grazie al fai abbiamo potuto visitare in parte dentro e anche fuori. La guida che ci ha accompagnato un ragazzo molto cordiale e competente. Unico neo da parte mia alcune cosiddette opere moderne che nel contesto della villa non c entrano x niente.

Informazioni errate sugli orari! Aperto il giardino solo la domenica dalle 16 alle 20. Agosto chiusa. Cartello del 2020..a chi aspettavate per modificare gli orari su Google? Gli orari sempre aperto fino alle 21 si riferiscono al parco fuori dalla villa, abbastanza desolante. Un vero peccato nn fare nulla ad agosto. Numero di telefono non risponde nessuno.

L'esterno della villa é tutto ristrutturato, giardino compreso. L'interno é ancora da ristrutturare ma comunque gli affreschi sono in buono stato di conservazione. La guida è stata molto brava a spiegare l'avvicendarsi delle varie famiglie a cui é appartenuta e spiegare il significato dei vari affreschi che ci ha mostrato. Non si possono vedere molte stanze ma rimane una piacevole visita.

The place was closed

It is only possibbe to visit the villa if you sent an email that you will participate in a tour at 16.30 . We drove 60 minutes to find out we could only visit the garden. Make this clear on the website, please.

I discovered this beautiful property in 1998 through the University of Louisville where one of the visiting professors from Italy was acquainted with the Countessa who owned the property through the death of her husband, The Count Amatti Cellessi. She was living in Florida and seldom visited the property due to age and infirmities. At the time she had it listed for sale and I went to Florida to visit with she and her sister to discuss purchasing the property. We arrived at a price and she agreed to have her Notaria draft the documents for the closing which was held in Florence. The property was closed with cash upon delivery of a deed. Several months later and many plans to turn the facility into a bed and breakfast for 50 vested owners whose funds were escrowed, I was notified by the state that because LaMagia was an antiquity of Italy that the government would have a lien on the property for five (5) years to decide if they wanted to purchase it. This blew the deal in as much as it precluded me from subdividing. So, I walked away, but I am pleased to see that the current owners have done a wonderful job and I am just so pleased that it will be around for at least another 750 years as a beacon of hope for restoration of antiquities developed by the Medici's and other wealthy interest. For me it was also a great experience meeting the Countessa and many of the locals at Quarrata who are really some of the most wonderful folks who shared with me and it was there that I wrote a novel about a local resident who met and fell in love with a soldier in 1940 and the day she is going to share that she is pregnant, he informs that he has orders to ship out but would return for her and the child. The Miracle of the Images is the story of her effort to locate the father in Dayton, Ohio and it is really the story of the child, Amatti and his pursuit at discovering his family. The book is available at Barnes & Noble or amazon or your local book store with all proceeds to charity. welbythomascoxjr.com
