Nestled in the rolling hills surrounding Florence, just minutes from the city, Villa Artis is an exceptional historic residence, meticulously restored between 2013 and 2015. Free on all four sides and arranged across six levels, the villa offers approximately 2,230 square meters of interior space, embraced by a private park, formal Italian gardens, and four hectares of productive olive groves that lend the estate a timeless and distinguished character.
Currently operated as a hospitality property with restaurant, guest accommodations, and wellness facilities, the villa features generous, highly versatile interiors, equally suited for conversion into a prestigious private residence. The existing layout allows for a seamless reconversion with minimal intervention, preserving architectural integrity while adapting to contemporary living.
The ground floor hosts a series of elegant reception rooms, presently dedicated to dining, naturally suited to refined living areas, reception salons, or a library. The upper floors accommodate 22 en-suite bedrooms, including six superior suites, along with three staff rooms—spaces that may be gracefully reimagined as private family quarters or master suites. The panoramic tower crowns the residence with a remarkable 360-degree view across the Tuscan countryside, offering a unique setting for a study, atelier, or secluded retreat.
The semi-basement level, distinguished by original stone and brick vaulted ceilings, houses a historic wine cellar and an expansive wellness area of over 400 square meters, nearing completion. Designed to include a hydromassage pool, sauna, hammam, and treatment rooms, this space offers exceptional potential as a private SPA or exclusive relaxation environment.
Outdoors, the estate extends across more than 44,000 square meters of landscaped grounds, featuring ornamental gardens, panoramic terraces, and a majestic tree-lined park enriched by Cedars of Lebanon. The scale and privacy of the property allow for the addition of a swimming pool or bespoke leisure areas.
Villa Artis is equipped with advanced systems ensuring modern comfort and efficiency, including methane-based heating and cooling with independent climate control, thermal insulation, elevator access, fire prevention systems, Wi-Fi, satellite television, home automation, video surveillance, and photovoltaic readiness.
A rare offering within Tuscany, Villa Artis represents a refined synthesis of history, elegance, and contemporary living.
