Nestled in the peaceful hills of Tuscany and just a short drive from the city of Florence, this elegant 16th-century villa offers a rare balance of privacy, breathtaking views, and convenience. Set in a commanding panoramic position, the property is located only 18 kilometers from central Florence.

Known as “La Rocchetta,” the villa dates back to the late 1500s and once belonged to a prominent Florentine noble family. It spans three above-ground levels in addition to a lower ground floor that houses the original stone cellars. The building has a compact rectangular layout and still retains many original architectural and decorative features of great historical and artistic value.

The ground floor includes spacious reception rooms with exposed wooden beams and pietra serena fireplaces, a formal dining room, the main kitchen, a laundry room, and service areas. On the first floor, there is a second kitchen, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and additional utility spaces. The second floor features five more bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a covered loggia offering open views across the surrounding countryside. The lower ground floor is home to the villa’s authentic cellars, with original stone flooring that evokes the estate’s rich history.

A number of ancillary buildings enhance the estate, including a private 17th-century chapel, a caretaker’s house, two farmhouses partially used for residential and agricultural purposes, a barn, and various rural outbuildings.

The Italian-style garden is arranged across three terraced levels and features a striking circular fountain at its center, boxwood hedges, antique statues, ornamental niches, and a historic orchard. The outdoor spaces preserve the unmistakable charm of Tuscany’s noble villas. A nearby natural spring ensures irrigation for the garden and feeds the original stone water basin still in place.

The estate includes 24 hectares of land, divided among olive groves, pastures, and woodland, offering excellent potential for agricultural or hospitality ventures.

The property is connected to the electricity and telephone networks, with the option to connect to the methane gas line. Water is supplied by a private spring.

This historic villa is an ideal opportunity for those seeking an exclusive private residence in the Tuscan countryside, for anyone looking to host high-end events in a prestigious setting, or for investors aiming to develop a boutique hospitality business in the luxury rental market.

Although renovation work is required, the villa’s original structure has been carefully preserved, thanks to a restoration carried out in the 1930s.
Immersa nella quiete delle colline toscane, a breve distanza dalla città di Firenze, questa elegante villa storica del XVI secolo rappresenta un raro connubio tra riservatezza, panorama e comodità. La proprietà si trova in posizione panoramica dominante e dista solo 18 chilometri dal centro di Firenze.

Conosciuta come “La Rocchetta”, la villa risale alla fine del Cinquecento ed è appartenuta a una prestigiosa famiglia nobiliare fiorentina. Si sviluppa su tre livelli fuori terra, oltre a un piano seminterrato che ospita le antiche cantine in pietra. L’edificio, di forma rettangolare e struttura compatta, conserva ancora oggi numerosi elementi architettonici originali di grande valore storico e artistico.

Al piano terra si trovano ampi saloni di rappresentanza con soffitti a travi a vista e camini in pietra serena, una sala da pranzo, la cucina principale, la lavanderia e alcuni ambienti di servizio. Il primo piano ospita una seconda cucina, tre camere da letto, due bagni e altri spazi accessori, mentre al secondo piano si trovano cinque ulteriori camere da letto, due bagni e una loggia coperta con vista aperta sulla campagna circostante. Nel seminterrato, le autentiche cantine con pavimentazione in pietra conservano il fascino intatto del tempo.

La tenuta è completata da numerosi edifici accessori di grande interesse storico e funzionale, tra cui una cappella privata risalente al XVII secolo, la casa del custode, due coloniche utilizzate in parte come residenze e in parte per attività agricole, un fienile e diversi annessi rurali.

Il giardino, progettato secondo i criteri classici del giardino all’italiana, si articola su tre livelli terrazzati e presenta una scenografica vasca circolare al centro, siepi di bosso, statue antiche, nicchie ornamentali e un frutteto storico. L’atmosfera che si respira all’esterno è quella autentica delle ville nobiliari toscane. Una sorgente naturale nelle vicinanze garantisce l’irrigazione del giardino e alimenta l’antica vasca di raccolta dell’acqua.

Il terreno di 24 ettari incluso nella proprietà comprende oliveti, pascoli e boschi, offrendo ampie possibilità per attività agricole, ricettive o di rappresentanza.

La villa è collegata alla rete elettrica e telefonica, mentre è possibile collegarsi anche alla rete del gas metano. L’approvvigionamento idrico è garantito da una sorgente privata.

Questa residenza storica rappresenta una soluzione ideale per chi è alla ricerca di una dimora privata di prestigio immersa nella campagna toscana, per chi desidera una location esclusiva per eventi o per chi intende investire in una struttura di charme destinata al mercato degli affitti di lusso.

Pur necessitando di lavori di ristrutturazione, la villa conserva intatta la sua struttura originaria, grazie a un restauro risalente agli anni Trenta del Novecento.
