Prestigious Renaissance Villa with Iconic View of Florence A timeless masterpiece among the Tuscan hills, an emblem of history, beauty and nobility
Nestled in the idyllic quiet of the Florentine hills, this majestic historic villa, an authentic noble residence of the late Renaissance, embodies the eternal elegance and architectural excellence of the Medici era. A rare jewel in the international real estate scene, it was conceived by the celebrated court architect Bernardo Buontalenti on direct commission from the Medici dynasty.
Donated by Francesco I de’ Medici to his son with Bianca Cappello, the villa is the custodian of an illustrious legacy that enhances its prestige and charm, telling a story of power, art and passion. The main façade, perfectly preserved, opens onto a monumental terrace overlooking Florence in all its grandeur, offering a breathtaking view of the city and the architectural masterpieces that have made it famous throughout the world.
Inside, every room is a journey between refinement and authenticity: frescoed ceilings, noble materials, boiseries, period fireplaces, custom-made furniture and contemporary design details dialogue in perfect balance with the most advanced technological comforts, creating an extraordinary, exclusive and immersive living experience.
The main villa, spread over two levels, houses:
- a reception hall with a monumental fireplace,
- convivial rooms of rare elegance,
- a large panoramic terrace ideal for private receptions and moments of contemplation.
The sleeping area is developed on the upper floor, with six bedrooms and eight bathrooms, all furnished with the highest quality materials and equipped with modern facilities for maximum well-being.
Outside, a 500-square-meter private garden and a manicured olive grove on the property provide the perfect combination of greenery, privacy and continuity with the Tuscan landscape. Large windows create a fluid visual connection between indoors and outdoors, flooding the rooms with natural light throughout the year.
Completing the property:
- a refined outbuilding of about 140 square meters with open-plan living room, designer kitchen, two bedrooms and bathroom,
- a charming 16th-century private chapel, restored with philological care: distributed on two levels, it accommodates an intimate dining area with kitchenette and a bedroom with en suite bathroom on the upper floor.
This exceptional residence represents a sublime fusion of art, history and nature, an authentic living masterpiece just minutes from the center of Florence. A unique investment for those who wish to live surrounded by the most authentic beauty of Tuscany, within a context that combines historical memory and contemporary lifestyle at the highest level.
