Ownership of this hacienda is commonly attributed to José Florenciani del Toro (1911-1997) who is credited with the invention of a unique and peculiar system of drawers to dry the coffee beans.  However, it appears José inherited the hacienda from his father.

The 1920 census shows Italian immigrant Nicolás Florenciani Lacorte (1770-1930), who arrived in Puerto Rico in 1879, as owner of a coffee farm in Barrio Chamorro located at "Camino Vecinal #13" off the road from Lares to Aguadilla.  Nicolás was the widower of Maria Josefa del Toro Vallés (1880-1918) who died victim of tuberculosis.  At the time, Nicolás lived with his mother Concepción Lacorte (spelled Locourt on her death certificate) Pascual (1832-1922) and seven sons, Juan, Nicolás, Victor, Vicente, José, Miguel and Pedro Florenciani del Toto.

Though possible, no relationship has been established with Vicente Lacorte Florenciani, (1849-1897) one time owner of Hacienda Jardines, also in Las Marias.

Was located in Sector Laguna of Barrio Cerrote of Las Marias.
