There are homes, and then there are landmarks. Villa Di Bastiano is the latter: a commanding historic estate in the green folds of the Florentine Apennines, with a view that stretches from the Belvedere terrace to the shores of Lake Bilancino. Known since the 13th century, when it stood as a pair of fortified towers guarding the Mugello hills, this villa was later reimagined at the end of the 19th century by Florentine painter Michele Gordigiani—shaping the striking double-tower silhouette that defines the property today.

The architecture is both theatrical and profoundly Tuscan: grand terraces, loggias, and a sequence of elevated outdoor spaces designed to frame the landscape like a living painting. One of the loggias is distinguished by a vaulted fresco attributed to Galileo Chini, celebrated Mugello artist, painter, and ceramist—an exquisite signature that elevates the villa from “historic” to truly collectible.

Set within an extensive and impeccably kept English-style park, the estate is shaded by majestic centuries-old trees, including rare species. The grounds unfold through romantic, intimate pathways and noble staircases that lead to grottoes and fountains—small surprises that recall the slower, more gracious rhythm of aristocratic country life. It’s a place where privacy feels natural, and silence is part of the design.

The main villa—approximately 1,800 sqm—is currently operated as a high-end event venue and is arranged over four levels. The piano nobile is the heart of the residence: eight grand reception rooms with soaring ceilings, complemented by beautiful terraces and loggias, plus guest bathrooms and a pair of bedrooms. The second floor hosts ten generous bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and two additional salons. The third floor provides a further ten bedrooms with three bathrooms. At ground and semi-basement levels, the villa includes two bedrooms, one bathroom, and extensive service areas: kitchen, storerooms, wine cellars, wood storage, garage, and ancillary spaces—elements that make the property operationally robust for hospitality or private use.

Completing the estate is a charming lemon house (limonaia) of approximately 150 sqm, offering additional convivial space. Its architectural language reveals a clear Buontalenti influence (through the Del Moro tradition), reinforcing the property’s cultural depth and potential for curated restoration or adaptive reuse.

Villa Di Bastiano’s setting and internal division create a rare duality: it can be seamlessly repositioned as a luxury boutique hotel, a destination event property of the highest tier, or transformed back into a singular private residence—ideal for a buyer seeking the magnetism of a historic villa with authentic features preserved intact. The volume, the views, the park, and the double towers combine into a narrative that is both timeless and commercially intelligent: a heritage asset with lifestyle beauty and investment optionality.
