Villa With Covered Pool And Garden On The Outskirts Of Florence

Set in one of the most sought-after and historically distinguished residential areas on the outskirts of Florence, this modern-style villa stands on a plot of approximately 1 hectare, whose grounds alone represent a significant architectural and cultural asset: the garden was designed by the renowned landscape architect Pietro Porcinai, a leading figure in 20th-century Italian landscape architecture, who left his mark on the design of the green spaces with great compositional intelligence, featuring mature trees, paths and views that interact with the surrounding hilly landscape. The villa, built in the 1960s in a modern, linear architectural style, has recently been renovated in several phases.

The main building spans three levels – basement, ground floor and first floor – covering a total of approximately 1,000 sqm. The living area on the ground floor is the highlight of the property, characterised by abundant natural light thanks to big windows on several sides and a veranda fitted with glazing that makes it fully habitable in every season: an intermediate space between indoors and outdoors that serves as a dining room or additional living area during the cooler months. The ground floor also features two double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. Upstairs is the master bedroom, with a walk-in wardrobe, en-suite bathroom and access to a double private terrace overlooking the garden.

The cellar and basement areas house a zone currently used by the domestic staff, comprising two rooms, a bathroom and a laundry area. The property’s standout feature is the swimming pool, fitted with a retractable glass roof that allows it to be used for a significantly longer period than a traditional open-air pool, whilst maintaining an attractive and integrated appearance even during the winter months.

The property also includes two separate apartments, each of approximately 150 sqm, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms each. The two apartments share the main entrance with the villa but retain complete independence, making them ideal for family members, staff accommodation or units for distinguished guests.
