In the prestigious Poggio Imperiale area, not far from the Medici Villa and about 4 km from the International School of Florence, lies a renovated portion of a historic villa with a swimming pool. The property (460 sqm) features five bedrooms, a private gym, and spacious living areas with original decorations and frescoes. Outside, the garden (880 sqm) includes a 10 × 4 m swimming pool and an elegant fountain designed by architect Bernardo Buontalenti in the 16th century.
The residence (460 sqm) is part of a larger villa, occupying about half of the building’s volume. The structure dates back to the 15th century, when it was originally built as a convent. Over the centuries, its religious function gave way to a residential one, and the villa was later internally divided into several units. The restoration has preserved many of its original features, including beautiful vaulted ceilings, stone fireplaces, and frescoes, which have been carefully maintained and restored when necessary, inspired by Buontalenti’s outdoor fountain.
Upon entering the ground floor, one finds a large living area divided into three bright rooms. At one end there is a guest bathroom and a laundry room. On the opposite side of the building, there is the staircase (with storage and elevator), the kitchen with pantry, and the dining room with direct access to the garden.
Descending the stairs leads to what were once the villa’s cellars, now converted into a private gym with a guest bedroom and en-suite bathroom. These basement spaces are characterized by exposed brick vaulted ceilings, revealing their original function as storage and wine cellars.
Going up from the ground floor, halfway up the stairs, there is a bedroom with a private bathroom. Continuing upward, the first floor opens into more elegant and refined spaces. From the hallway (also accessible by elevator), there is access on one side to a bedroom with en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet, and on the other to a living room with fireplace. From here, a corridor (equipped with two large built-in wardrobes) leads to the master bedroom, complete with a large en-suite bathroom and private walk-in closet. From the living room, a staircase leads up to the attic, where the last bedroom with bathroom and walk-in closet has been created.

La proprietà (460 mq) conta cinque camere, una palestra privata e ampie zone giorno con decorazioni originali e affreschi. All’esterno, il giardino (880 mq) ospita la piscina 10 × 4 m e un’elegante fontana progettata dall’architetto Bernardo Buontalenti nel Cinquecento. L’abitazione (460 mq) è parte di una villa più grande, di cui occupa circa la metà del volume. L’edificio risale al Quattrocento, quando fu costruito come convento. Nel corso dei secoli la funzione religiosa ha lasciato spazio a quella residenziale e la villa è stata poi divisa internamente in più unità. Il restauro dell’edificio ha permesso di mantenerne gran parte delle caratteristiche originali, tra cui i bellissimi soffitti a volta, i camini in pietra e gli affreschi che sono stati conservati e ripristinati dove necessario ispirandosi alla fontana esterna del Buontalenti.
Entrando al piano terra ci si trova in una grande zona giorno, divisa in tre ambienti molto luminosi. A un’estremità si trovano il bagno di servizio e una lavanderia. Sul lato opposto dell’edificio si arriva invece al vano scala (con ripostiglio e ascensore), alla cucina con dispensa e alla sala da pranzo con uscita sul giardino.
Scendendo la scala si entra in quelle che un tempo erano le cantine della villa, oggi convertite in una palestra privata con camera per gli ospiti e bagno en-suite. I locali interrati sono caratterizzati da particolari volte in muratura a vista che permettono di riconoscere l’originaria destinazione delle stanze a cantine e depositi.
Se invece si sale dal piano terra si arriva, a metà scala, a una camera con bagno privato. Proseguendo si giunge poi al piano primo, caratterizzato da ambienti di stampo più signorile ed elegante. Dal disimpegno (a cui si arriva anche tramite ascensore) si ha acceso da un lato a una camera con bagno privato e cabina armadio, dall’altro a un soggiorno con camino. Da qui si passa poi attraverso un corridoio (dotato di due grandi armadi a muro) per arrivare alla camera padronale completa di grande bagno en-suite e cabina armadio privata. Dal soggiorno si può anche salire una scala che conduce al sottotetto dove è stata ricavata l’ultima camera con bagno e cabina armadio.
