About the host
Hosted by VILLA FARFALLA
This dream place is a laboratory, a place of experimentation and meditation designed by the owners, both architects, artist and designer for the most famous Italian Companies.
Why they chose this property
The Villa, the guest house and the Pool are real jewels of contemporary architecture and technology immersed in the Tuscan nature. Both buildings are clinging on a hill of white marble like the one of Carrara located nearby, which internally has been exposed on three levels.
What makes this property unique
The Hydraulic roof
The two wings of the roof of the villa open at a 30 ° angle like the wings of a butterfly. The two wings totaling 110 square meters open with 6 hydraulic pistons. This is the first house in the world with a hydraulic roof. This allows natural ventilation to cool the house and brings to the villa a very unique magic sensation of literally sleeping under the stars.
Ecological Architecture
The villa has been awarded one of the most ecological and exceptional homes in Italy by TV channel "National Geographic" on the show "Case piu verde d'Italia, it also won the Architectural award “EXPO STONE AWARD 2015” together with the “FREEDOM TOWER WORLD TRADE CENTER” in New York and the “BRIDGE TOWER” in London.
