Save to favouritesPrintMailVilla i BossiItaly became a republic half a century ago, but the countless castles and country piles dotted around Tuscany suggest that the aristocracy is alive and well. We decided to investigate, and followed a small road from Arezzo up a wooded side-valley to the imposing Villa i Bossi. It's like stepping back into a different era. Sweeping in through monumental (and slightly rusting) gates, wandering through landscaped gardens graced with 2 swimming pools and a Jacuzzi, sleeping in the same bedrooms as visiting bishops and lords... the atmosphere throughout is one of faded grandeur. It has been in the family for over 900 years, and the present marchesa, Francesca Albergotti, will show you panelled drawing rooms where portraits of illustrious ancestors sit alongside recent snapshots of her family. She'll point out where the drawbridge was, open the door to the private chapel (once visited by a pope), and tell stories about the vestments and religious relics. She’ll also help you explore the area, suggesting car tours and walks, arranging wine- and oil-tastings, and recommending restaurants for dinner. And if you're lucky, she might cook for you.
