Villa La Pietra boasts a unique garden.
The former baroque garden belonging to the Capponi family was transformed into an English style garden in the 19th century. The actual garden, whose owner was Arthur Acton, was realized starting from 1904 by great gardeners: Ambroziewicz, Bonaiuti, Castellucci, Dodge and Watson. It is a terraced system, typical of the Tuscan garden, with "stanze di verzura" ("green rooms"), typical of the baroque tradition, inside of which we can find architecture and statues coming from Veneto.
