Simone Grand Suite

Marchese Peruzzi de’ Medici 1846

The Simone Grand Suite—the grandest accommodations in Villa I Busini—is named after one of the most famous residents of the Villa, Simone Marchese Peruzzi de’Medici, who became the owner in 1846.

Glamorous and well-appointed, yet authentic to its era, the Simone Grand Suite transports you to a previous, enchanted time.

Three interconnected large salons with fireplaces provide spacious living areas with southern views of the Renaissance Gardens and the panoramic Tuscan landscape.

A large 16th-century or as the Italians would say "cinquecento" four poster bed from the town of Lucca dominates the bedroom interior. The original wall of the "duecento" (13th century) Torre di Ghibellini has been perfectly preserved, creating a beautiful, authentic backdrop.

From the bedroom windows, the vineyards of Villa I Busini glisten under the Tuscan sun.

The hand-painted ceiling and wall murals, the classic wooden floors, and the custom-made furniture designed in subtle tones of a foregone era, take you on a serene journey through the Renaissance. 

Presiding over the main salon is an antique replica of the Athena Justinian (Greek Goddess of Wisdom) Roman statue, circa 100 BC - 300 AD. 

The grand bathroom has its own fireplace and a large replica of Sandro Botticelli’s, Portrait of a Young Woman.

The hand-painted frescoes evident on the shower wall were modelled after the famous frescoes adorning the Palazzo Davanzati, also known as the Museum of the Historic Florentine House.

The Simone Grand Suite also features an oversized custom-made "Cleopatra" sofa bed in the main salon, allowing for flexibility of sleeping arrangements, and accommodating two additional persons. A detail from Francesco Parmigianino's 16th century painting Portrait of a young lady, called "Anthea", adds extra warmth to the space.

All Villa I Busini accommodations feature luxury linens and amenities, underfloor heating, cooling, and Wifi.
