In the heart of Tuscany, on the hills of Cerreto Guidi, elegant country property comprising a historic farmhouse, an independent barn and a portion of the building in its unfinished state, for a total surface area of approximately 540 sqm. Cerreto Guidi is a small village of great charm, dominated by the famous Villa Medicea, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and surrounded by a landscape characterized by rolling hills, vineyards, olive groves and woods. The location allows residents to enjoy the tranquillity of the Tuscan countryside while maintaining convenient connections to the region’s main art cities, such as Florence, Pisa and Lucca. The property occupies a dominant and panoramic position and is surrounded by approximately 34,000 sqm of land, comprising parkland, woodland and olive grove.
THE MAIN FARMHOUSE The farmhouse retains the authentic character of traditional Tuscan rural residences, enhanced by elegant interiors and high-quality finishes. The residential unit, measuring approximately 270 sqm, is arranged over three levels. On the ground floor, a spacious entrance hall leads to the living area, dominated by a bright double reception room with a stone fireplace. The eat-in kitchen retains an antique wood-burning oven, a testament to the building’s rural character and its connection with local traditions. Completing this floor are a laundry room, a bathroom, a storage room and a characteristic porch overlooking the greenery and the surrounding landscape. The first floor houses the sleeping quarters and a refined 18th-century sitting room with fireplace. The layout comprises three double bedrooms, a storage room, hallway, dressing room and two bathrooms. The master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom offers a private and comfortable setting, while the other bedrooms retain the typical atmosphere of Tuscan residences, with exposed wooden beams, rustic parquet flooring and architectural details that emphasize the property’s historic identity. The second floor finally comprises a mezzanine and an attic. An integral part of the farmhouse is a portion of approximately 130 sqm in an unfinished state, offering interesting possibilities for completion and customization. The spaces comprise a room and a large porch on the ground floor, a further room with mezzanine on the first floor and a second mezzanine on the upper floor. Thanks to its layout and separate access, this portion could be transformed into an independent residence with a private garden, a guest annexe or a unit intended for tourist rental.
THE BARN Separate from the main farmhouse, the restored barn of approximately 140 sqm constitutes a second independent residential unit, particularly suitable for accommodating guests or providing greater autonomy within the property. The building is arranged over two levels, in addition to a basement level used for technical rooms. The ground floor comprises an open-plan living area, consisting of a sitting room, dining area, kitchenette and bathroom. The openings in the original masonry allow natural light to create a welcoming and evocative atmosphere, in harmony with the building’s rustic character. The upper floor comprises two bedrooms, a hallway and a bathroom. A distinctive feature of the barn is the circular terrace, directly connected to the residence and conceived as a natural extension of the interior spaces. An ideal setting for outdoor lunches, summer dinners and moments of relaxation, immersed in the silence of the countryside and overlooking the surrounding hills.
EXTERIOR The property comprises approximately 3.4 hectares of land, set within a natural environment of great beauty and privacy. The land is divided between parkland, woodland and olive grove, with extensive green areas surrounding the buildings and enhancing their panoramic position. The variety of the landscape and the configuration of the land offer numerous outdoor areas to enjoy, from the spaces closest to the residences to the areas immersed in the vegetation, creating a constant connection with the surrounding countryside.

Riccardo and Marta met during their high school years. Since then, their paths have never parted. United by shared dreams and aspirations, they married in 1999 and are today parents of three children. In 2004, driven by their passion for their native land, art, and beauty, they chose the historic heart of Tuscany – the charming village of Anghiari – as the birthplace of a project that already carried the warmth of home: Romolini Immobiliare. A story founded on courage, dedication, and profound values that, paired with their vision, quickly earned them recognition within both the national and international real estate markets. In 2008, an important achievement further strengthened their reputation: Romolini Immobiliare was appointed exclusive affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate, the world’s most prestigious name in luxury real estate – a testament to their authenticity and unwavering commitment. Romolini, however, is more than a business: it is a family. Those who have joined Riccardo and Marta in this endeavor were welcomed for their human qualities, integrity, and outstanding professionalism, becoming not just exceptional team members, but part of a greater family. Each brings a unique approach, a personal style, and a shared dedication to the values that have always defined Romolini. In 2020, Danilo, their eldest son, chose to join the company. Having grown up amid the dreams and challenges of the family business, he brought a visionary spirit and a profound love for beauty. Danilo pioneered a new way of presenting properties in Italy, creating emotional and engaging video narratives that captivate and inspire. With his contribution, Romolini Immobiliare embraced a new chapter. A refined approach to communication, an even greater attention to detail, and a client-centered philosophy have established the company as a leading figure in the luxury real estate sector. Romolini is not just a name. It is a legacy. It is a family dream brought to life. It is a journey that moves forward with passion and purpose.
