Villa Sonnino, built during the sixteenth Century, hosts the Castelvecchio Restaurant; it is situated up the slope of a hill in the heart of Tuscany halfway between Pisa and Florence in San Miniato. The eye of the attentive observer will sense the presence of a the recently restored church on the hill near a little town which it dominates Cigoli. Immediately below you will find a long avenue of cypresses, climbing is lost in a thicket far more widely than green in which we can glimpse the outline of a building: this is Villa Sonnino.
