Historical Palazzo With Garden For Sale In Casentino, Tuscany

Dating back to the 13th century and historically linked to the noble Gatteschi family, among whose members was the personal physician of Cosimo I de’ Medici, this majestic residence was rebuilt in the last quarter of the 18th century on older medieval foundations, traces of which still emerge today in fascinating architectural details.

The heart of the residence is expressed in the solemnity of the noble floor, where large windows flood the rooms with very high ceilings and precious wooden floors with light. In these environments, an exceptional cycle of frescoes dating back to 1789 is preserved, the work of famous Florentine master decorators: walls and coffered ceilings are entirely adorned with perspective scenes, elements inspired by classical art, and a rare and isolated 18th-century pictorial testimony of the original village.

The exteriors celebrate the elegance of the historic Tuscan garden, arranged on three magnificent terraces and enriched by romantic rose gardens, a scenic pergola with an old-fashioned taste, and majestic tall trees that offer an oasis of absolute privacy.

Located in an authentic village of eastern Tuscany, surrounded by wooded hills and Romanesque parish churches, the property boasts a secluded position but well connected to Florence, Arezzo and the main art cities of the region.

An historic residence of invaluable cultural and aesthetic value, ideal for collectors and art lovers looking for a prestigious home in the heart of Tuscany. Alternatively, the presence of numerous distinct real estate units would easily allow the property to be adapted for hospitality use.
