Villa Mangiacane, Florence, Italy

Jasmine scented paradise on a hill outside Florence.

Villa Mangiacane was originally commissioned by Cardinal Francesco Maria Machiavelli, uncle of Niccolò Machiavelli. But political intrigue is the farthest thing from your mind when you are by the pool on a beautiful summer day.
