Unprecedented historical design and materials masterpiece, Palazzo al Bosco is one of the most spectacular estates in Florence immediate surroundings. Embedded into Tuscan rolling vineyards and sited on an large parcel totaling more than 18 hectares, this Renaissance marvel captures ultimate forever views within unrivaled privacy. A world apart yet close to it all, this extraordinary estate captures the essence of refined Tuscan living where architectural sophistication and iconic modernity meet history and absolute privacy. Set along a quiet country road just minutes from the heart of Florence, the villa reveals itself gradually, unfolding across rolling meadows, tranquil woodlands, and manicured lawns, and is accessed through an exclusive entrance with a beautiful cypress lined avenue leading to the main entrance.

Original antique materials such as stone, wood, and cotto were brilliantly recovered as the primary restoration material, a meticulous renovation that took as much as 3 years and includes top-of-the-range modern amenities plus numerous local hardwoods, Italian marble, and sandstone that are featured throughout the interior. A spectacular array of floor-to-ceiling windows brings the outside in, creating a beautiful, light-filled home with expansive views from every room. Crafted for grand entertaining, upon entry a dramatic foyer leads to the dining and the many entertaining rooms, all set as museum-like rooms and decorated by the most prominent contemporary artists such as Olafur Eliasson, Pablo Reinoso, Jorge Pardo.

The estate includes the Palazzo, a guest house called Colonica, the former wine cellar (Tinaia) now used as a private art gallery, and a private house, altogether totaling 13 en-suite bedrooms on 2.600 square meters.

The Palazzo offers 6 en-suite master bedrooms plus a large number of living rooms, large kitchen, bathrooms and storage rooms. Every single room has been decorated in its own style with the utmost attention to detail. The lower level is an exquisite recreation venue: a full cantina can host your guests before adjourning to a grand dining, or even for a wine tasting alone.

The Colonica offers 6 more bedrooms and the Foresteria another intimate, private suite in its own romantic building.

The Tinaia is currently used as an art gallery.

Outdoors is the perfect landscape with stone terraces and local plants and a pool, providing unlimited vantage points and stunning views, also over the Florentine Duomo. Even the drive, forged in stone, provides a spellbinding entry to the property, evoking total privacy, revealing this grand estate. A vineyard and an olive grove will offer the luxury of producing your own oil and wine, together with fruit trees delivering seasonal delicacies.

Absolutely no expense was spared inside or out throughout this sun-filled mansion. Grand in every way, but not overwhelming, the design is perfect for large scale entertaining as well as intimate everyday living. This home is nothing short of magnificent at every turn, truly a once in a lifetime opportunity that could never be replicated.
