description
This splendid neoclassical villa was built on the Montalbano hills in the second half of the 18th century.
Designed as the summer residence of the local nobility, in the past the structure was well connected to the annexed stables, servants' quarters and barns, today partly converted into kitchens and storerooms for catering.
The prestigious residence, spread over three floors with a total area of approximately 1460 square metres, is currently divided into 12 small flats.
On the ground and first floors there are spacious frescoed rooms that preserve the atmosphere of the past, from the large kitchen to the large reception rooms suitable for hosting events and ceremonies.
The turret for breeding pigeons and doves with three large window openings is very characteristic.
Adjacent to the villa, there is a residential part in need of restoration, which can be used to create other flats.
The villa is in good condition: the recent restoration has brought back the comforts of a luxury residence.
Clearly recognisable, the clean and essential lines of the noble country residences of the period give elegance and freshness to the rooms.
The high ceilings are frescoed, characterised by wide vaults or restored wooden coffers.
The twelve small flats can be easily connected to make the villa into a single stately and representative living unit.
The systems are up to standard and no special ordinary or extraordinary maintenance work is required.
The property also includes a shed of 30 sqm used as a garage.
Externally, the villa is surrounded by a large park of approximately 4000 sqm planted with mature trees and fruit trees that create a very pleasant atmosphere and enhanced by a beautiful glass veranda of approximately 170 sqm.
The property is perfect for organising events or for tourist rentals.
The historic villa is located at a very short distance from all the main services.
Situated only 20 minutes from the city of Florence, the property is perfect for visiting the art cities as well as the Chianti region and the Tuscan hinterland.
A plot of vineyard and olive grove totalling 1.6 ha can be purchased by private negotiation.
