10 bedrooms villa, 740 m²

Fiesole, Florence (province)

Chianti

This magnificent historical villa for sale is on the outskirts of Florence, in the beautiful and scenic Fiesole. It is a finely renovated authentic masterpiece of the 14th century. This three-storey villa measures 740 sqm and is immersed in 5 hectares of lush land, including a private garden and an olive grove. The estate is embellished by a panoramic tower, from which one can enjoy an extraordinary view of Florence.
This extraordinary villa, built in the 1300s, has hosted illustrious Florentine personalities over the centuries. Its owners include Alessandro Baldovinetti (1425-1499), a famous pupil of Domenico Veneziano and author of masterpieces such as an Annunciation exhibited in the Uffizi and a Madonna in the Louvre. It was later home to Bartolomeo di Jacopo Salviati and the noble Busini family. The villa, while maintaining its medieval character with its turreted castle, has been enriched over the centuries with architectural details typical of early 20th-century villas, creating a perfect balance between historical charm and modernity.
The property has two independent entrances. The main entrance opens onto a long tree-lined driveway, adorned with imposing cypress trees, leading to the entrance of the villa and the private parking area, embellished by a stone loggia with rustic and refined charm, typical of the Tuscan tradition.
The interior of the villa is developed on three levels, for a total of 740 sqm. The exterior of this property is an oasis of lush greenery extending over 5 hectares of land. The private garden is a true corner of paradise and, with its spacious and well-tended areas, is the ideal place to enjoy al fresco dining, stroll through nature and organise exclusive receptions. A magnificent 3-hectare olive grove, a classic symbol of the Tuscan landscape, is part of the property and ensures the opportunity for its own production. Making the villa even more exclusive and prestigious is the presence of the panoramic tower, from which one can admire the scenery of unparalleled beauty.
