Historic Villa With Garden For Sale Overlooking Fiesole

Stunning property with a majestic villa located in the hills of Florence, near Fiesole, offering magnificent views of the city. This historic property comprises two villas, with the main house built by a renowned Swiss architect and painter in the late 1800s and completed in the early 1900s in an eclectic Renaissance style. Situated among tall cypress trees in the hills of Fiesole, the villa enjoys a highly panoramic and private location, surrounded by a large private 1-hectare plot of land enclosed by strong walls and fences, ensuring complete security and maximum privacy. The property is adorned with beautiful loggias, balconies and large terraces overlooking the historic center of Florence.

Both buildings within the estate have separate entrances from different roads. One entrance is from the Fiesole side, providing direct access to the main villa, while the other entrance is from the Florence city side, allowing access to both the main and smaller villa. The main villa is spread over several floors, centered around a striking period staircase. The main floor features a large double hall with stone portals and original painted coffered ceilings, a billiard room with an authentic stone fireplace, a beautiful dining room, a kitchen, and a well-preserved period library connected to an elegant study.

The upper floor, reached by a stone staircase adorned with characteristic period decorations, comprises the sleeping area, consisting of six double bedrooms and six bathrooms, as well as generous closet space. The basement boasts an old kitchen, cellars and several large rooms currently used as storage and staff quarters. The basement area has the potential to be transformed into a cinema room, spa or indoor pool, offering beautiful views and a 100-square-meter loggia and terrace with a 360-degree panorama of the entire city of Florence.

Within the one-hectare property is a second villa of an additional 250 square meters, with three bedrooms, three bathrooms and its own terraces and balconies with breathtaking views. Both villas are centrally located, overlooking the beautiful hills of Fiesole, adorned with terraces, open parking spaces and picturesque paths among the lush vegetation. The property also includes two private garages and an additional annex/limonaia next to the main villa, suitable for guests or staff.
