Map

Villa Castelletti is located on a small hill along the road leading to Lecore, near the Ombrone stream. In an extremely scenic spot, on a northern ridge of the Signa hill, the shape of the villa overlooks the whole countryside between Prato and Pistoia. The origin of the building dates back probably to the early 15th century. Maybe built under the possession of the Strozzi family, the villa passed then to the Lapi family, and later to the Ugoccioni and Cavalcanti families. With the extinction of this family, direct branch of the poet Guido, companion of Dante, the property passed, in the 18th century, to the Cattani-Cavalcanti.
