Villa Le Farnete is placed on the hill overlooking the countryside of Tuscany from Florence to Prato until Pistoia, on the road that climbs from Comeana to Carmignano.
The Villa was built in the 14th century by the Florentine Family of Mazzinghi and belonged to this family of Comeana till the eighteenth century. The stone portals, the lacunar ceiling and the secret spirals stairs go back to that period.
The original building of the 14th century was renovated in the 18th century by Marquis De' Gori Zondadari Panillini, owners of the Villa since the 18th century. In this occasion, an open gallery with round-headed arches was built on the top of the front, raised on the roof and with two baroque volutes on both side.
In 1875 the Villa became propriety of the Lepri Family, whose descendants are the current owners,and further changes and extension works were done.
Some of the rooms of the Villa were painted in frescos with typical nineteenth-century ornaments. The Villa was recently renewed, preserving unaltered the ancient construction and the frescoes.
