Villa Zu Verkaufen In Montecalvoli Alto, Santa Maria A Monte (Pi)

Live and breathe centuries of history in a noble residence located in the heart of a village – Montecalvoli – atop a hill in the Lower Valdarno near Pisa. The palace was once the seat of Castruccio Castracani – a military leader from the 1300s, but its current appearance dates back to 1680, showcasing all the charm of a noble residence with 3 entrances, including two gates – one for vehicles and one for pedestrians – and the main access through a large door that leads into a spacious atrium where the original terracotta flooring and high ceilings adorned with frescoes or coffered ceilings can already be appreciated, features that are found in almost every room of the house. A place of beauty and historical memories.

Let’s begin to describe the vastness of this prestigious palace of approximately 1000 sqm spread over two floors, with an additional basement featuring cellar rooms and a large attic. On the ground floor, from the main entrance, to the right and left, we find 4 mirrored rooms used as various lounges and a library, a large kitchen with a fireplace and dining area, two bathrooms, a wardrobe, a storage room, a staircase cupboard, and a boiler room. The comfortable and wide stone stairs lead us to the first floor where there are 7 rooms of varying sizes, 2 bathrooms, and 6 additional rooms. A bright attic, spacious and airy, with a height ranging from 2.50 to 4.10 m, and cellars in the basement complete the residence, which has independent heating for each floor thanks to the presence of 3 boilers, with air conditioning available in the North wing.

Completing the property is an Italian garden of approximately 1500 sqm enclosed by a wall, the last remnants of the castle walls of the 13th-century fortress, where ancient trees and a fountain at the center reside, along with a plot of land of about 1500 sqm cultivated with olive trees, where a swimming pool could be built. Many of the original frescoes were covered when the palace became a boarding school, but the latest restoration commissioned by the current owner has allowed some scenes from these frescoes to be revealed.
