Description
In the heart of the Florentine hills, where tradition meets prestige, stands Villa “I Cancelli”, a majestic historic residence in Florence. Nestled in a unique landscape and perfectly connected to the city’s key locations, this villa represents a rare opportunity on the luxury real estate market—ideal for those seeking to invest in an exclusive residential project or develop one of the most captivating luxury properties in Tuscany.
Villa “I Cancelli” is defined by its elegant and noble architecture, spread over three levels. The basement hosts spacious kitchens and service areas, ideal for efficient and modern property management. The ground floor features the reception areas—bright and generous spaces, perfect for private events, exhibitions, or to be converted into high-end entertaining zones. The first floor and mezzanine offer versatile, reconfigurable spaces, ready to become contemporary-style luxury living units while preserving the historic charm of the building.
Original elements add authenticity and character: exposed wooden beam ceilings, a hipped roof with terracotta tiles, and stone and brick masonry that echo centuries of history. The exterior is completed by plastered facades with wooden shutters, in classic Tuscan style.
A distinctive feature is the private chapel on the eastern side of the main building—an intimate and sacred space enhanced by a splendid frescoed dome, which requires conservation to restore it to its former glory and highlight it as an artistic gem within the estate.
One of the most scenic elements of Villa “I Cancelli” is the panoramic terrace—a refined belvedere overlooking the Italian-style garden that surrounds the villa. This space is designed for contemplation and relaxation, ideal for enjoying the Tuscan landscape year-round, with sweeping views and a timeless atmosphere.
The property also boasts a stunning swimming pool, perfectly integrated into the natural landscape, offering genuine moments of well-being and serenity in total privacy. A truly exclusive place where elegance, nature, and comfort blend harmoniously—making every outdoor experience a privilege.

There is also the option to create up to five exclusive apartments, two on the ground floor with independent entrances and three on the upper floor.
