Villa Fiesole

Magnificent estate featuring a majestic villa nestled in the hills of Florence, near Fiesole, offering breathtaking views over the city. This prestigious historic property comprises two villas, with the main residence designed by a renowned Swiss architect and painter in the late 19th century and completed in the early 20th century in an eclectic Renaissance style.

Set among towering cypress trees in the hills of Fiesole, the villa enjoys an exceptionally panoramic and secluded position. The estate is surrounded by approximately one hectare of private grounds, enclosed by substantial walls and fencing, ensuring the highest levels of security and privacy. Beautiful loggias, balconies, and spacious terraces enhance the property, offering spectacular views of Florence’s historic city centre.

Both residences within the estate benefit from independent entrances accessible from different roads. One entrance is located on the Fiesole side, providing direct access to the main villa, while the other is situated on the Florence side, allowing access to both the main residence and the smaller villa.

The main villa is arranged over several levels, centred around a magnificent original period staircase. The principal floor features an impressive double reception room with stone doorways and original painted coffered ceilings, a billiard room with an authentic stone fireplace, an elegant dining room, a kitchen, and a beautifully preserved period library connected to a refined private study.

The upper floor, accessed via a splendid stone staircase adorned with original decorative details, houses the sleeping quarters, comprising six double bedrooms and six bathrooms, together with generous wardrobe and storage spaces.

The lower ground floor features a historic kitchen, wine cellars, and numerous spacious rooms currently used for storage and staff accommodation. This level offers excellent potential for conversion into a private cinema, wellness spa, or indoor swimming pool. The property also boasts magnificent panoramic views, complemented by a loggia and a spectacular 100-square-metre terrace offering breathtaking 360-degree views across the entire city of Florence.

Within the estate’s one-hectare grounds stands a second independent villa of approximately 250 square metres, featuring three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and its own private terraces and balconies with stunning panoramic views.

Both villas enjoy an exceptional setting overlooking the beautiful hills of Fiesole, surrounded by charming terraces, outdoor parking areas, and picturesque pathways winding through lush Mediterranean vegetation.

The estate also includes two private garages and an additional outbuilding, a former limonaia (traditional Tuscan lemon house), located near the main villa, which could be converted into charming guest accommodation or staff quarters.

Combining historic architectural elegance, extraordinary panoramic views, generous living spaces, and absolute privacy, this exceptional estate represents a rare opportunity to own a prestigious residence in one of the most sought-after locations in the hills surrounding Florence.
