Villa Historique

Prestigious villa, an elegant residence, dating back to the 16th-17th century. A splendid example of the fabric of villas that, along with the associated gardens and avenues, characterize the Tuscan hills. It underwent partial restoration in the 1950s-60s but still retains all the features of the era. This villa has a squared, symmetrical volume with a central panoramic turret set back from the main facade. The sumptuous appearance of the property is highlighted by the consistent rhythm of openings framed by charming sandstone cornices. The elegantly symmetrical facade features a captivating stone portal with a wooden door above which is a small balcony, supported by stone brackets, offering a view of the surrounding valley that unfolds at the foot of the property. At the center, one can notice the coat of arms with the cross of the Knights of Malta, reaffirming the history of this building. Inside, the air of centuries is palpable with spacious well-divided rooms revolving around the staircase on the ground floor and the significant salon on the first floor. The grand hall on the noble floor is finished with wooden ceilings and features a prestigious ancient fireplace made of sandstone, rare for being a monobloc construction. Standing out in this context is the charming and timeless belvedere from which one can lose themselves in the green Tuscan landscape. The unique aspect of this property is its strategic location; while it possesses the characteristics and benefits of a hillside villa, such as panoramic views and a tranquil setting immersed in greenery, it is just a few steps from the historic center and close to the main urban services. Given these characteristics, the villa could serve as a historic residence for a family, a retreat from the chaos of large cities, or could adapt well as an investment for a tourism project, considering it is located within one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. The property is completed by the land with the centuries-old park surrounding the house, which is also well-suited for additional amenities such as swimming pools and shade pergolas, in addition to the existing annexes.
