Houses for sale in Florence

This splendid period villa, located just a few kilometres from Florence is for sale. The property of clear 1800’s architectural style, has seen many renovations during its history. It used to be the country residence for a noble Florentine family during the 1400’s and has been passed down by different aristocratic and powerful families  who restored and renovated in the course of the centuries, thus preserving its refined splendour.
With a total surface of 2880 m2, this Tuscan villa for sale boasts 3000 m2 garden on the south side. Also there are 3 hectares of parkland surrounding the villa featuring a charming small lake and trees of holly oaks, yews, cedars of Nepal and nana pendula, creating an exclusive and fascinating outdoor space.
The park of this villa in Florence features another fascinating element: its name is strictly related to Collodi’s fairy tale “Pinocchio”; in fact it appears that one of the centennial trees of these woods inspired the writer when describing the Miracle Field and the grotto helped create the image of the whale that swallows the two main characters of the story.
Enriched by these literary connections this Tuscan villa surprises also for its interiors.  In fact on the first floor there is a marvellous large hall embellished by the works of a famous painter from the 1800’s and a lily pond dating back to the 17th century subsequently enriched with frescos from a famous Tuscan decorator of the 1900’s.
Also other halls and sitting rooms are finely decorated and elegantly furnished.
On the first floor the spectacle continues: vast elegant spaces, precious furnishings, colourful frescos, valuable chandeliers and a wonderful view overlooking the surrounding parkland.
This Tuscan villa for sale in Florence is a truly luxurious residence, a short walk away from this wonderful city of art but totally surrounded by peaceful and green vegetation.
