One of the most captivating properties in Florence, located on a hill near Piazzale Michelangelo and the International School of Florence, offers unparalleled views of the city, its monuments, and the surrounding hills.

The villa, a listed property dating back to the 1400s, is surrounded by a vast private park and magnificent gardens, enriched with ponds, fountains, statues, and terraces designed by the renowned architect Cecil Pinsent in the 1920s.

The estate includes the main villa, a caretaker’s house, the gardener’s house with a greenhouse, and the elegant Orangerie overlooking an Italian-style garden.
