Villa Carducci-Pandolfini is a historic rural palace on Via Guardavia between Legnaia and Soffiano in Florence, Italy. The building dates to the 15th century and encloses an earlier 14th century tower, giving it the form of a fortified villa. It is best known for frescoes painted in 1455 by Andrea del Castagno for an open loggia, depicting famous historical and mythological figures; these were later detached and moved to the Uffizi Gallery after a flood, though further frescoes from 1472 with religious imagery remain in the villa. The property is now part of the Polo Museale of Tuscany and can be visited by appointment.
