Prestigious Renaissance Villa With Olive Grove In Florence

Nestled in an exceptional high and panoramic location, just 10 km from the centre of Florence, on the summit of one of the most exclusive hills between Pozzolatico, Mezzomonte and Monte Oriolo, stands this estate of extraordinary prestige. The complex boasts an internal floor area of 2,500 sqm, comprising a majestic main house and two independent farmhouses. Set within a 10-hectare centuries-old park, the property is surrounded by a 5,000-sqm private garden and a monumental olive grove, offering spectacular 360-degree views stretching from the Florence valley to the foothills of Chianti. The vastness of the frescoed rooms and the absolute privacy of the setting define an estate of the highest prestige, perfect for hosting numerous guests or for developing elite international hospitality services.

The estate boasts an illustrious history, with documented origins dating back to the 14th century; it later became the cradle of the Renaissance architecture that characterises Florence’s most important noble residences. The main body of the main villa features rooms of exceptional artistic value, where spacious reception rooms are embellished with perfectly preserved authentic monumental frescoes, high frescoed ceilings and views over the valley. An architectural feature of extraordinary charm and light is the beautiful period orangery, a refined glazed space integrated into the original structure and designed to house citrus trees during the colder months, which today serves as an enchanting extension of the living area, opening out onto the tranquillity of an intimate internal garden. 

The layout of the interior spaces unfolds harmoniously across three levels, creating a majestic volume that prioritises light and the independence of the circulation routes. Enhancing the property’s versatility are two buildings completely separate from the central core, faithful to the most authentic Tuscan rustic style. On the left-hand side of the estate, a detached farmhouse with its own private entrance serves as a prestigious guest house, guaranteeing guests complete autonomy. Mirroring this, a second separate structure, accessible via the main monumental gateway, is designated for the caretaker and staff, ensuring impeccable and discreet logistical management of the entire estate while preserving the tranquillity and privacy of the main villa.

The grounds are an exclusive natural and agricultural oasis of exceptional value, where expert landscaping meets olive cultivation of the highest standard. The lush 5,000-sqm private garden features a magnificent panoramic infinity pool, paved sunbathing areas and a spacious car park, complemented by a bioactive vegetable garden dedicated to seasonal organic crops. The estate extends further over 9.5 hectares dominated by a monumental olive grove, renowned in the area for producing a Tuscan extra virgin olive oil of superior organoleptic qualities. Completing this high-profile residence is a charming underground cellar, ideal for storage and tasting, perfectly set within the property’s historic foundations.
