10 bedrooms villa, 1400 m²

Calenzano, Florence (province)

Welcome to this extraordinary historic residence located in the heart of Calenzano, a true architectural gem dating back to 1200. Built around a medieval tower placed on one of the ancient Roman roads connecting Florence with Prato and Pistoia, the villa was at the center of an agricultural estate owned by the patrician Florentine Ginori family from the 13th to the 19th century. A member of this family, Marquis Carlo, founded the Doccia Porcelain Manufacture in 1737. Evidence of this includes the Ginori coat of arms on the main entrance and the Ginori and Vespucci coats of arms on the large living room fireplace, dating back to the last quarter of the 15th century, built on the occasion of a Ginori marrying a lady from the family of the famous explorer Amerigo Vespucci. Other coats of arms present are the Ginori and Ricasoli on the chapel and garage, dating from the 18th century. Sold by the Ginori family at the beginning of the 19th century and converted into a farmhouse, in the next thirty years, the house had two different owners and, since 1835, it has always remained the property of the same family. From 1969 to 1973, the house was completely renovated and restored to its state as a manor house. This impressive property extends over a total area of about 2,000 square meters, set in a vast land of about three hectares mainly consisting of beautiful olive trees. All this offers a retreat of unparalleled luxury and privacy. The real estate complex consists of a portion of the main villa of about 990 square meters that, among other rooms, also hosts an impressive hall with a Renaissance-era fireplace and a taste typical of classic country villas. A smaller second portion of about 220 square meters forms the main body. At the center, there is also a splendid courtyard of 160 square meters. Around the villa, there is also a small chapel and a stunning grotto, covered with climbing plants, from which running water flows, creating a truly bucolic and intriguing atmosphere. There is also a large garage of 160 square meters and a farmhouse of 360 square meters divided between warehouses and living space. Completing the property is a ruin with an area of 175 square meters to be recovered by rethinking the spaces. Upon entering, all the rooms welcome you with an atmosphere of timeless elegance, where each room tells stories of past eras. The environments are noble and spacious.
