Villa Il Gioiello, meaning The Jewel, is a villa in Florence, Italy, known for being one of the homes of the astronomer Galileo Galilei, who lived there from 1631 until his death in 1642. It is also called Villa Galileo, a name that should not be confused with Galileo's other Florentine residences on Costa San Giorgio or his villa in Bellosguardo.
