The nearby A1 highway (about 10km) makes it possible to reach Florence in less than an hour’s drive.

BUILDING DESCRIPTION, STATE AND FINISHES
You arrive to the property via a short and private hillside driveway, leading passed the main villa which is flanked by its extensive olive groves, to a large parking bay. Internally the main villa is split into three levels, with the raised ground floor (piano nobile) for living & leisure, the floor above for sleep & bathing, and the floor below for wine & service accommodation. Additionally, there are several storage and utility rooms, as well as a large old lemon house which can be converted into garages.

You enter directly into the piano nobile via a grand external staircase, arriving into a reception space that opens into the lounge, dining area, sun room and snug. This beautifully styled open space bathes in exceptional natural light thanks to the nine windows and French doors which these areas share. The corridor beyond connects to the generously sized kitchen & bar, which has its own access to the east-facing terrace for external dining. Continuing on, you find the games room, gym, library, a bathroom, and finally a spacious cinema designed in the art deco style.

Heading upstairs, you’re greeted by the first of two large bedroom suites. The primary offers the largest bedroom in the property, also served by a private lounge & wardrobe room connecting to its en-suite bathroom. This suite enjoys a balcony, a separate sunset terrace, and the exclusive access to the panoramic bathtub in the tower above. The secondary suite is found at the other end of the floor, mirroring the features of a large bedroom, a private lounge & wardrobe room, and en-suite. Additionally, there are three well-sized guest bedrooms, adjacent to a large shared bathroom and separate WC. Finally, a large laundry room completes this level.

Returning downstairs to the lower ground floor, you’ll find a large wine tasting room at the back of the villa set within the original wine storage cantina that’s carved directly into the rocky hillside. Meanwhile, at the front side of this floor is found the portico with windows, giving natural light to the service apartment. No longer in use but fully restored, the apartment has a small bedroom and separate lounge / kitchenette room. Also facing the portico with an external window is an additional room that can be used either as a boot room or as extra space for the service accommodation. All of these spaces are served by an independent access via the portico, allowing an alternative entrance into the property. Finally, there are a couple utility rooms which are in an unrestored state.

The restoration of the villa, completed in early 2026, has been expertly balanced between the finest in contemporary Italian interior design, along with maintaining the antique characteristics that make this particular villa so unique. It offers the latest smart home tech, with WiFi controlled security, AC throughout, and a smart lock system. The property receives its running water from a private water source on the land, and the villa is heated and cooled with a fully electric system, meaning that the possible addition of solar panels would make the estate entirely self-sufficient.

EXTERIOR
Externally, a bike shed is accessed via the parking bay. So too are three large glass arches leading to the old lemon house, which can be converted into garage space if desired – with sufficient space for about three cars. In this area is also found a secure technical closet for the water and electrics. The property enjoys approximates 100 m² of panoramic outdoor terraces, which lead into the pool area and gardens that flank the villa and the roughly 7,000 m² of terraced olive groves found beyond.
