Résidence Noble Du XVI Ie Siècle Avec Terrasse Panoramique Au Cœur De La Toscane

Historic 17th-Century Noble Residence with Panoramic Terrace in the Heart of Tuscany

In the heart of the charming hilltop town of Castiglion Fiorentino, surrounded by the iconic landscapes of Tuscany, this extraordinary 17th-century noble residence represents a rare blend of aristocratic heritage, timeless elegance and contemporary comfort.

Located within the ancient medieval walls of the town, along one of the most prestigious historic streets once home to important noble palaces, the property offers an atmosphere of authentic Italian grandeur in one of the most picturesque settings in the region.

Despite its historic and tranquil character, the residence is exceptionally well connected. The town’s railway station is within walking distance and provides direct connections to major Italian cities including Florence, Rome, Milan and Venice. Fine restaurants, historic cafés, wine bars and elegant boutiques are all just moments from the property.

Grand Interiors Rich in History

With approximately 509 square meters (5,479 sq ft) of interior space, the residence occupies a significant portion of a meticulously restored historic palazzo, where every architectural detail has been preserved with exceptional care.

At the heart of the home lies the magnificent 90-square-meter grand reception salon, an impressive entertaining space designed for hosting guests in true aristocratic style.

The room is dominated by a remarkable stone fireplace originating from the Florentine villa of the Torriani-Avanti family, a noble lineage that owned the property for more than three centuries. Several members of the family were laid to rest in the celebrated Basilica of Santa Croce alongside legendary figures such as Michelangelo, Galileo Galilei and Dante Alighieri.

Original parquet floors, bespoke chandeliers, curated artwork and refined antique furnishings enrich the space, while large French doors open directly onto the panoramic terrace.

Adjacent to the main living area is an elegant private study created from a former chapel. This unique space features a rare desk designed by Willy Rizzo, a historic bar dating back more than 500 years and a small service kitchen, making it ideal for entertaining guests.

The bespoke main kitchen by Arclinea combines refined Italian design with modern functionality. It features high-end appliances, an 80-bottle wine refrigerator and a charming breakfast area with fireplace and direct access to the terrace.

The formal dining room is equally striking, highlighted by an imposing two-meter Umbrian Empire-style chandelier and a large dining table that comfortably seats up to ten guests.

Master Suite and Guest Accommodation

The master suite occupies an entire private wing of the residence, ensuring exceptional privacy and comfort.

It includes:

a spacious bedroom with decorative plaster ceilings

On the opposite side of the residence are three elegant guest bedrooms, each distinguished by vaulted ceilings or exposed wooden beams that reflect the authentic character of Tuscan architecture.

One of the guest suites also features a private sauna, creating a small wellness retreat within the home.

In total, the property offers five beautifully finished bathrooms, all crafted with high-quality materials and refined details.

Spectacular Panoramic Terrace

One of the most remarkable features of the property is its 110-square-meter panoramic terrace, an exceptionally rare feature within Italian historic centers.
