Panoramic Apartment In Historical Villa On The Hills Of Florence

Nestled in the verdant hills of Florence, this elegant apartment for sale is located within a noble estate dating back to the 14th century. Set in an exclusive context and protected by a quiet, tree-lined shared park of approximately 5,000 sqm, this refined residence offers 260 sqm of fully renovated interiors. The property retains all the charm of aristocratic homes, with high ceilings, stone fireplaces, exposed beams, and details that whisper of centuries past. A small deconsecrated chapel, still visible in the park, and a striking 19th-century wrought iron gazebo among the ancient trees speak to the villa’s noble heritage.

We are in the heart of the northern hills of Florence, one of the most sought-after residential areas of the city. The location is strategic for quickly reaching the historic center while enjoying a level of privacy and quiet that is both rare and deeply appreciated. This area exudes the atmosphere of Tuscan grandeur, dotted with old and magnificent residences that for centuries have been loved by intellectuals, noble families, and illustrious figures. Today, these homes are still highly desirable to those seeking a one-of-a-kind dwelling—peaceful yet close to everything.

The main building, now divided into independent units, was constructed in the 1300s by the Della Lastra family, to which Maso di Bartolo di Drudolo also belonged, founder of the Monastery of San Bartolomeo alla Lastra. Over the centuries, the structure has undergone various modifications, enriching its architectural character. Today, it stands as a rare example of a Florentine historic residence where elegance, functionality, history, and design blend harmoniously.

The apartment for sale is spread over two floors, internally connected. On the ground floor, the spacious and bright living area opens directly onto the private garden. The grand salon, featuring a 14th-century fresco, includes both a relaxation area and a dining area, seamlessly connected to the open-plan kitchen and flanked by garden access on both sides. The two bedrooms and their respective bathrooms offer generous spaces and an immediate sense of welcoming comfort. On the upper floor are a third and fourth bedroom, a study, a second living area, and a delightful wooden mezzanine, which may serve as an additional sleeping area or walk-in wardrobe. High-quality materials, a meticulous renovation, and a respectful integration of historical elements make each room coherent with the original style.

Outside, the property enjoys a garden with a private path and areas paved and lawned, ideal for enjoying the outdoors in every season. Among the most evocative common areas are the deconsecrated chapel and a wrought iron gazebo shading one of the garden’s most romantic corners. A dedicated parking space completes the property.

This residence is a choice of great prestige for those who wish to experience the beauty and elegance of the Florentine hills in a setting that is discreet, secure, and rich in history. A private oasis just minutes from central Florence, where every corner tells a story and every detail preserves the charm of the Renaissance.
