Majestic Noble Palace In The Historical Heart Of Pistoia

Situated in one of Tuscany’s most charming historic centres, this stately home stands out for its architectural splendour and spaciousness. With a floor area of approximately 3,000 sqm spread over four levels, the property comprises 30 bedrooms and 20 bathrooms, making it a residence of the highest prestige. Enhanced by a private courtyard with a 300-sqm garden and a panoramic terrace, the property is naturally suited both as a majestic private residence and for providing hospitality services of the highest calibre: a potential that is already evident today, as the ground floor of the building currently houses the Baldo Vino wine bar and restaurant, a high-end gourmet establishment well-established on the local food and wine scene.

Dating back to medieval times, the building took on its final form in the 17th century thanks to the work of the architect Jacopo Lafri and subsequent extensions commissioned by the patrician families who owned it. The façade, understated and elegant, is adorned with a late 16th-century coat of arms situated at the level of the piano nobile. Upon passing through the entrance door, the communal areas reveal the charm and rigour of the era, welcoming guests into spaces enriched by sculptural stone details and entrance halls of great formal grandeur.

The interior spaces flow seamlessly into one another. On the ground floor, spacious salons with frescoed vaults — once the heart of social life and now perfect for formal haute cuisine — boast antique terracotta floors and marbles of rare craftsmanship. A stone staircase leads to the piano nobile, where a succession of salons rich in pictorial decorations unfolds. Among these, the exclusive Sala dei Ventagli stands out, a unique room whose walls are entirely clad in fine period fabrics. The residence also comprises a wing dedicated to large private apartments, executive areas and light-filled attics characterised by imposing exposed wooden trusses.

Outside, the property offers an oasis of unexpected urban tranquillity. The layout centres around two charming internal courtyards, perfect for hosting outdoor events and receptions, which open onto a well-tended private garden. This inviting courtyard acts as a green lung, ensuring natural light reaches the building’s interior spaces. The highlight of the residence is the roof terrace: an intimate and secluded spot offering a fascinating view over the city’s rooftops and the monumental architecture of the historic centre from a truly privileged vantage point.
