Located in the heart of Tuscany, this prestigious historic residence represents a perfect blend of historic charm and contemporary comforts. Completed in 1755 by the noble Ginori family on a high hill over 600 meters above sea level to escape the heat of Florentine summers, Villa Ginori alla Rata is nestled in the green heart of Tuscany, on the edge of a forest that reaches all the way to Casentino, yet just a short distance from the capital. It preserves over two centuries of history and today offers an exclusive property, finely restored, tastefully furnished, and equipped with the latest technology.
With a total of 1,200 square meters distributed across 20 spacious rooms, this residence is much more than a home: it is a unique living experience, ideal for those who wish to live or invest in a truly prestigious setting. Among the most impressive spaces is the large living room, approximately 230 square meters, conceived as the beating heart of the home and perfect for hosting events, receptions, or simply enjoying everyday life in spaces of extraordinary spaciousness.
The original architecture, a true expression of solidity and refinement, has been enhanced with a meticulous renovation, preserving historic elements such as exposed beams, original floors, and period architectural details. Crossing the threshold is like immersing yourself in a place where historical memory interacts with the present, enhanced by modern solutions such as the home automation system, which allows you to manage lighting, air conditioning, and security systems with ease and comfort.
The property also boasts two towers, each culminating in a panoramic terrace offering breathtaking views of the surrounding Tuscan landscape, making every sunset an unforgettable experience. The property also features a historic cellar with stone vaults, perfect for wine lovers, a large stable with period features, a true testament to the area’s agricultural history, and a 150-square-meter shed that further expands the residence’s potential.
The outdoor spaces are equally impressive: a large, well-kept, and charming private garden surrounds the home and leads to the splendid 5x12 meter swimming pool, ideal for relaxing and socializing in the open air.
