Exclusive Apartment In Historical Villa With Views In Florence

Nestled within the picturesque hilly setting overlooking the town, a magnificent 350-sqm detached property spread over three levels embodies the perfect blend of understated Tuscan elegance and the comfort of a prestigious residence. The property boasts an optimal layout, comprising three spacious bedrooms and three full bathrooms. Its most distinctive feature lies in its extraordinary outward-facing layout, where a marvellous flat garden and a vast wooded park surround a private swimming pool and a terrace offering unobstructed views of the silhouette of Florence's Cathedral.

The residence embodies a historical and architectural heritage rarely found on the market, protected by the Superintendency for Architectural Heritage. Originally built in the 18th century as a monumental stables complex for a nearby noble villa, the building was converted into a convent in the 19th century, before being skilfully divided in the 20th century into three stately apartments intended for distinguished figures from Florentine cultural circles. The entrance, secured by a private electric gate, opens onto a 400-metre tree-lined avenue that runs through the estate’s grounds, ensuring a spectacular arrival in a setting of absolute seclusion and privacy.

The interior spaces are characterised by the fluidity of their layout and the refinement of their finishes, with a bright, grand entrance hall leading into the living area. The living area is dominated by a monumental drawing room with imposing exposed stone arches and a period fireplace, directly connected to the outdoor seating area. Adjacent to the living room is a kitchen-diner with a wood-burning oven, a large larder and bespoke fitted units, featuring French windows opening onto the garden. The sleeping area comprises a master suite with an en-suite bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe, flanked by a second double bedroom, a single bedroom and two further bathrooms with showers; the interiors are completed by a spacious wine cellar and a natural gas central heating system.

The outdoor experience is enhanced by over 8,000 sqm of private parkland with woodland and a productive olive grove, supplied by an independent artesian well. The open-plan residential area includes a 600-sqm private garden with a courtyard, a second driveway, parking for three cars and a pergola, ideal for convivial summer dinners. Situated on a hill overlooking the cityscape is the outdoor wellness area, featuring a big swimming pool with a changing room and guest toilet, which is currently undergoing a refurbishment project incorporating modern steel-framed structures.
