An imposing Florentine villa located just outside the city, in the immediate hills of the southern part of the city. The estate includes a guesthouse, a lemon house, outbuildings, a swimming pool, and 3.5 hectares of land. The villa is undoubtedly one of the Great Villas of Florence, located just outside the city walls in the immediate hills overlooking the city. Owned by the same family for nearly 100 years, the villa dates back to the 16th century and has been the residence of many nobles over the years. Situated in the southern hills of Florence, just 5 km from the historic center, the villa features two main apartments, a swimming pool, and is surrounded by 3.5 hectares of land. The Villa The main building covers approximately 1,200 square meters on two floors, including a tower hall and underground cellars/storage rooms. It boasts stunning original features, including terracotta floors, chestnut-beamed ceilings, pietra serena stone architraves and staircases, and magnificent fireplaces. It comprises seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms, four living/reception rooms, and a spacious kitchen/dining room. The building's roof and façade have recently been redone.
