House & Garden 
From the orchard one looks toward the lemon 
house through whose arched passageway is a 
glimpse of the garden beyond. The lemon house 
forms the south boundary of the garden and gives 
ample protection to the shade-loving plants which 
are growing in its lee 
The view across the garden from 
southeast to northwest shows 
two of the accenting palmetto 
trees and a corner of the villa 
beyond. The arrangement might 
be called informally formal 
At the intersection of the main 
axes is a little well with a stone 
curb and iron railing. Beyond 
are the arch of the lemon house 
and the walk which leads into 
the orchard 
Though it is not a part of the 
garden, the view from the north 
doorway of the villa through a 
gap in the hedge to the valley 
of the Arno is a noteworthy 
feature of the place
