Art-nouveau Villa With Belvedere Turret On Florence's Hills

On the hills leading up to Fiesole, in an area traditionally chosen by the Florentine and international elite for their high-profile homes, this villa is in a high position yet easily accessible from Florence's city centre. The setting is residential and highly prestigious, dotted with noble villas, historic residences with Italian gardens and private parks, which guarantee peace, privacy and high air quality while remaining just a few minutes from the city's main cultural and commercial centres.

The Art Nouveau architecture, typical of early 20th-century Tuscan residences, is expressed here through a harmonious façade, the majestic stone terrace leading to the main entrance, the moulded frames of the windows and the striking presence of the Belvedere turret, topped by a period sundial. This villa has three floors above ground plus a basement: the driveway in the park leads to the large front terrace and then to the entrance hall, the true heart of the house, around which the various rooms are arranged.

On the ground floor, the stately entrance hall, lit by big windows overlooking the garden, leads to a bright reception room with a period fireplace, an eat-in kitchen and additional reception and service rooms arranged in a ring around the entrance, creating a fluid and functional layout that is ideal for both family life and high-level receptions. A guest bathroom completes this floor, maintaining a clear separation between the living area and the upper levels.

Going up to the first floor, you will find the master bedroom area, with five large rooms that can easily be configured as bedrooms, studies or private sitting rooms. Here, a spectacular bathroom clad in pink Carrara marble stands out, designed as a space for wellness and entertainment, flanked by an additional guest bathroom. Two terraces on this level offer views of the park and surrounding hills, enriching the rooms with natural light and open views.

On the top floor, the Belvedere tower dominates the panorama with its monumental balcony: a highly evocative space, ideal as a study, panoramic lounge or private room, from which to contemplate the city of Florence and the hilly landscape in all directions. In the basement is the caretaker's flat, connected by an internal staircase but with its own independent entrance from the garden, an ideal solution for resident staff or guests who want more independence. The lower level is completed by the cellar and technical rooms, which are invaluable for the smooth running of the property.

The private park of approximately 2,000 sqm features centuries-old trees, lawns, paths and a historic greenhouse, offering ever-changing views and the possibility of creating relaxation areas, outdoor dining areas and spaces for the possible installation of a swimming pool, in compliance with current regulations. The 36-sqm garage, in addition to outdoor parking spaces, provides convenient shelter for several cars, an important feature in a hilly setting just a few minutes from the city.
