Elegant Fully Renovated Villa With Large Garden And Pool In Southern Florence

Set among the hills of southern Florence, this villa of approximately 450 sqm is an architectural rarity of genuine distinction. Designed in 1961 by the sculptor and architect Brandigi with an elegant cruciform plan, the property was fully renovated in 2001 and again in 2023, arriving at a considered synthesis between the rationalist rigour of its origins and contemporary comfort. Three independent entrances give an uncommon degree of flexibility, while ensuring complete privacy for each wing of the villa.

The interiors unfold entirely on a single ground floor in a succession of rooms suffused with natural light, drawn in by large glazed openings and a triple aspect — north, east and south-west — that follows the movement of the sun throughout the day. A double sitting room with designer fireplace and an open kitchen form the heart of the living area. The sleeping quarters comprise six bedrooms, five of which open directly onto the park through French doors, and seven bathrooms.

A second eat-in kitchen, a fitness area and generous multi-purpose spaces complete a layout designed equally for high-end hospitality.
The finishes reflect the quality of the intervention throughout: parquet in the sleeping areas, designer tiles and pietra serena in the living spaces, double-glazed timber windows. A glass and timber façade creates a continuous dialogue with the surrounding landscape. The technical systems are fully equal to the property’s ambitions: independent radiator heating, a photovoltaic system for heating and hot water, air conditioning and a home automation system that controls the shading independently in every room.

The villa, with its private park of nearly one hectare, sixty olive trees, a pool set within the vegetation and six covered parking spaces with electric vehicle charging points, offers a combination of historic authenticity, contemporary efficiency and versatile potential — private residence, boutique hospitality venue or prestigious corporate headquarters — that is genuinely difficult to replicate at this distance from the heart of Florence.

A dedicated staff wing with separate entrance completes the property with discretion.

Location:

A few minutes from Florence’s historic centre, the villa is in one of the most secluded areas of southern Florence, deep in the countryside and well away from urban traffic. The setting offers immediate access to the main road network, international schools and city services, without sacrificing the atmosphere of quiet that is rarely found this close to the city.
