ATMOSPHERE by Fiesoli Homes : ”Borgo Nobile”
THE PROPERTY In the heart of the Florentine hills, a few kilometers from the city, this prestigious property dominates the Sieci valley with an extraordinary southern exposure. The complex, arranged on a three-level terrace, is surrounded by cypress avenues that enhance its elegance, evoking the style of the great Medici villas . A place where the beauty of the landscape blends with the history of a village that has its roots in the centuries. The village is developed in a set of historical structures that include the main villa and three farmhouses for a total of 408 square meters. The property is completed by 865 square meters of warehouses , a private chapel and a monumental garden.
INTERIOR DETAILS Crossing the threshold of ”Borgo Nobile” means immersing yourself in a dimension where the past and the present meet harmoniously. Arranged on three floors, the villa is a perfect fusion of elegance and functionality. The ground floor hosts large living rooms with wooden ceilings and an imposing fireplace , overlooking a historic garden that tells of ancient nobility. On the first floor, the master bedrooms offer a breathtaking view of the countryside, with a mansion with Tuscan columns that seems suspended in time and, even in its current state, lets you imagine the beauty that a skillful restoration will give it. The second floor, with trussed ceilings, hosts suggestive spaces , ideal for lovers of art and culture. The wooden ceilings, terracotta floors and artisanal finishes speak of a tradition that never ceases to fascinate. On the ground floor, the presence of the large fireplace and spacious halls creates a welcoming but solemn atmosphere , perfect for hosting a large family or receiving friends and guests. The kitchens and cellars, although in need of restoration, preserve the memory of a time when daily life and agricultural work were intertwined with nobility. The property is completed by a complex of three farmhouses for a total of 408 square meters and a series of warehouses covering 865 square meters, ideal for those who want to restore while maintaining the Tuscan authenticity. The private chapel and the monumental garden, divided into three terraces, set the tone for an atmosphere of rare beauty. The whole is surrounded by a land of 24 hectares, which includes woods and olive groves, ensuring extreme privacy and a landscape that seems painted. Every corner seems to tell stories of ancient Florentine families, and the restoration will be able to return this villa to its original beauty, giving new life to this historical heritage.
EXTERIOR DETAILS The monumental garden of Borgo Nobile is an open-air work of art, divided into three terraces that follow one another like a painting of the Tuscan countryside. The cypress-lined avenues, which accompany the entrance and extend along the property, give a sense of tranquility and grandeur . Every corner of the garden seems to have been designed to tell the natural beauty of the area, while the olive groves and woods that surround the villa, 24 hectares in total, add a feeling of privacy and peace. The landscape that extends around the villa is not only a decoration, but an integral part of the atmosphere, capable of evoking the history and culture of the place. An opportunity for those seeking an exclusive refuge in one of the most enchanting areas of Italy, where every external detail is an invitation to discover the charm of a villa that will be modern and at the same time deeply rooted in tradition.
POSITION Located a few kilometers from Florence, the villa is in a position that allows you to enjoy the serenity of the countryside, while remaining close to the city of art par excellence . The panoramic view of the Sieci valley, combined with the southern exposure, offers a landscape that changes with the seasons, from the sweetness of summer to the magic of autumn.
A LEGACY TO REINVENT ”What fascinated us most about this place is its silent history, imprinted in the stone and in the gestures repeated over the centuries. Here, the villa and the agricultural village have always lived in balance, without contrast: one symbol of refinement, the other of substance and industriousness. They were not separate worlds, but parts of a perfect mechanism, where every space had a function, every detail responded to a need, and beauty was never an end in itself. Today, what is striking is the possibility of reinterpreting this bond , of projecting the village into the future without betraying its essence. The rooms of the villa, with their Renaissance loggias and wooden ceilings, can once again welcome lives and stories, without losing their solemnity. The ancient agricultural structures can be reborn, transforming their vocation into a new expression of hospitality, culture, craftsmanship.
This is what makes this place unique: its ability to evolve without losing its soul. Because the past here is not a constraint, but a starting point”.
Nestled in the scenic hills of Pontassieve, this exquisite location offers serene Tuscan living while being just a short drive from Florence. Enjoy quick access to the cultural treasures and fine dining of Florence, along with nearby vineyards and olive groves for authentic local experiences.
