Prestigious Restoration Project For A Historic Villa In The Florence Hills

In a private and privileged position on the first hills surrounding Florence, Villa Le Corti represents a rare investment opportunity in the luxury segment. A restoration project that brings new life to an authentic Tuscan residence, reinterpreting its charm through a refined contemporary approach while fully respecting its historic identity. Villa Le Corti dates back to the early 15th century and has belonged to the Peruzzi family since the Middle Ages. The Peruzzi, one of Florence’s most important merchant families, were among the wealthiest and most influential in Europe during the 13th and 14th centuries. Villa Le Corti also included an ancient hay barn, which is likewise undergoing a meticulous restoration and will become a fully independent residence, separate from the main villa while remaining harmoniously integrated within its surroundings.
The villa embodies the essence of the Tuscan countryside, where architecture, landscape and quality of living coexist in perfect balance. The restoration project, scheduled for completion following a major intervention lasting approximately two years, has been conceived to create an exclusive residence capable of combining the property’s original character with the highest standards of contemporary living. One of the project’s distinguishing features is its extensive customization potential, allowing you to shape the living spaces according to your personal tastes and needs, transforming the house into a unique home that reflects your style and requirements.
Another property’s strength is its location: immersed in the tranquillity of the Florentine hills while remaining perfectly connected, it is just ten minutes from Florence and approximately fifteen minutes from the heart of the Chianti region. An ideal setting that offers the perfect balance between privacy, nature and immediate proximity to the area’s main services and most iconic destinations.
The property extends over a total internal floor area of 507 sq m and is surrounded by a magnificent private garden of approximately 8,000 sq m, ensuring complete privacy and offering a setting of extraordinary beauty throughout every season. The grounds, predominantly planted with olive trees, not only enhance the property’s authentic character but also offer the opportunity to produce your own olive oil, a true expression of Tuscany’s most genuine tradition.
The interiors have been designed to enhance the villa’s original architectural features while harmoniously integrating them with contemporary, bright and functional spaces. On the ground floor, enhanced by restored antique terracotta flooring, a spectacular living area will take shape, where spaces dedicated to entertaining and relaxation follow one another with natural elegance. The spacious double living room and refined dining room are complemented by a prestigious wellness area comprising a private gym and spa, creating an environment designed both for entertaining and everyday well-being. Numerous openings and large French doors establish a continuous dialogue between the interior spaces and the garden, allowing natural light to become the defining feature while offering a constant connection with the surrounding landscape.
The lower ground floor will accommodate a charming wine cellar, a space of authentic character, ideal for wine storage and for hosting tastings in an intimate and refined atmosphere.
The sleeping area, located on the first floor and finished with elegant parquet flooring, will comprise six bedrooms, designed to ensure the highest levels of comfort and privacy. Three of the bedrooms will feature en-suite bathrooms and walk-in wardrobes, while the windows will enjoy splendid views across the rolling Tuscan hills towards the skyline of Florence.
The outdoor spaces have also been designed to fully embrace the beauty of the natural surroundings. An elegant covered pergola, adjoining the villa, will accommodate a sophisticated outdoor living and dining area, perfectly integrated into the garden and ideal for hosting convivial moments during the warmer months. There is also the possibility of adding a private swimming pool in the garden, offering an exclusive opportunity to further enhance the outdoor living experience and the value of the property. The property will finally be completed by a spacious private parking area.
Villa Le Corti is a project intended for those seeking a residence of absolute prestige, capable of combining authenticity, elegance and innovation in one of the most exclusive settings on the Florentine hills. A home where the timeless charm of Tuscan tradition meets contemporary comfort, creating a truly unique living experience.
