Fantastic Luxury Resort In Florence's Countryside

Set on the hills of Mugello, among olive groves, meadows and woods, this historical villa stands in a high position within a large private park, offering sweeping views of the surrounding countryside and a sense of absolute tranquillity. The property, built in the second half of the 19th century as the residence of a family of Swiss entrepreneurs, was designed in the style of grand Florentine mansions, embellished with Art Nouveau details and artistic decorations that bear witness to the refined taste of the era. Today, the recently restored property spans approximately 1,300 sqm across two floors, featuring 14 bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, spacious reception rooms, a separate annexe and a swimming pool set within a 2-hectare park – elements that make it perfect for hosting large families and a wide circle of guests.

The main entrance leads into a bright living area, dominated by the grand reception room with its original fireplace, high ceilings and large windows opening onto the garden, ideal as a reception space for parties and social gatherings. Adjacent to this, a spacious eat-in kitchen allows for the easy management of both daily life and more formal entertaining, thanks to well-organised service areas. The period details, wooden floors and refined finishes blend seamlessly with more recent renovations, creating a harmonious whole that preserves the villa’s historic character whilst ensuring contemporary comforts.

The sleeping quarters are located on the upper floors, with fourteen bedrooms arranged to offer a variety of uses: master suites, guest rooms, and spaces dedicated to staff or potential independent households. The sixteen bathrooms, many of which are en suite, ensure ample accommodation capacity without compromising on privacy. The presence of a loft/penthouse and a panoramic balcony, overlooking the hills and the park, offers further privileged spots to enjoy the light and the landscape, creating secluded corners for reading, relaxing or an al fresco breakfast.

Outside, the private park of approximately 20,000 sqm, meticulously maintained, is one of the property’s key assets. The grassy paths, shaded areas, ornamental plants and views of the Tuscan hills create a striking natural setting, within which lies a splendid swimming pool with a sunbathing area, perfect for summer days. An entire hectare of the land is dedicated to saffron cultivation, a testament to the area’s tradition of high-quality agriculture and an attractive opportunity for those wishing to combine a residence with small-scale, high-quality production. The outdoor spaces are completed by an annexe, ideal as a guest accommodation or a separate residence for the owners, and a large car park capable of accommodating up to around 20 vehicles – a rare feature in a hillside setting.
