Florence Province

Located on the Florentine hills, just 5 minutes from the historic Piazza di Careggi, this prestigious historic residence represents a rare opportunity for those wishing to live immersed in the Tuscan countryside without renouncing proximity to the city of Florence.

The garden, well-kept and spacious, hosts a 12 × 6 m swimming pool, a structure dedicated to a sauna, and a tennis court, offering a wide range of amenities for relaxation and free time. The property is completed by a greenhouse, various warehouses, toolsheds, and a car parking canopy.

The main villa is spread over two levels. The ground floor opens onto a large loggia that extends on two sides of the building, leading to large halls, a kitchen, a study, transitional environments, and a service bathroom. The first floor houses the sleeping area, composed of numerous bedrooms, several bathrooms, and an additional lounge with access to a characteristic loggia terrace.

The property also includes a guesthouse with a kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom, ideal for guests, and a service apartment consisting of a living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bathroom, easily connectable to the main villa if necessary.
