12 bedrooms villa, 1200 m²

Fiesole, Florence (province)

Chianti

In the timeless landscape of the hills of Fiesole, just a few minutes from the historic center of Florence, this extraordinary property tells a story rooted in 1427, preserving intact the authentic charm of the Tuscan tradition. Immersed in a natural setting of rare beauty, the estate extends over approximately seventeen hectares, where productive olive groves, a Sangiovese vineyard and woodland areas alternate harmoniously, all managed under certified organic farming.
The property unfolds as a small private hamlet arranged along the natural slope of the hill, where every architectural element blends seamlessly with the landscape. The façades, in warm ochre tones, are defined by regular openings with dark green shutters and stone details, while a network of stone staircases and dry-stone walls connects the various garden levels, creating a sequence of ever-changing spaces. The raced grounds host olive trees, mature vegetation and Mediterranean plants, alternating between open panoramic areas and more intimate, shaded corners such as small courtyards and sheltered ways.
Particularly striking are the views, which open onto the surrounding countryside with wide vistas over the hills of Fiesole, constantly evolving throughout the day: from the bright morning light to the warm, enveloping tones of sunset, enhancing the entire property and emphasizing its intimate and private character. The gardens, approximately 1,200 sqm, are carefully maintained while preserving a natural feel, offering pathways, resting areas and spaces perfectly suited for outdoor living.
The interiors, with a total surface area of approximately 1,200 sqm distributed across several buildings, fully reflect the identity of the estate, favoring original materials and an authentic atmosphere. In the main building, the spaces develop around large, light-filled reception rooms, where exposed wooden beams, terracotta floors and light-colored walls create a balance between elegance and simplicity. Openings toward the allow natural light to penetrate deeply, constantly connecting the interiors with the surrounding landscape.
The bedrooms, distributed between the main house and the secondary buildings, maintain a sober and coherent style, with airy volumes, views over the greenery and essential furnishings, conveying a sense of peace and comfort. The living areas, more domestic than formal, invite a relaxed use of the spaces, while the bathrooms, functional and well integrated, complete the interiors without altering their character.
The secondary buildings, hosting additional bedrooms and spacious service areas, contribute to defining the property as a versatile and articulated complex, suitable both as a private residence and for a charming hospitality activity. An independent barn, fully restored and equipped with a bathroom, adds further value and flexibility, blending perfectly into the rural setting.
The renovation, completed in 2008, has preserved the historical soul of the property while integrating modern and efficient systems, including underfloor heating with heat pump in the main building, climate systems in the other buildings and a 19.8 kW photovoltaic system with particularly advantageous conditions.
This property represents a rare opportunity for those seeking to live or invest in a place of great charm, where history, landscape and authenticity come together harmoniously, offering privacy, beauty and significant potential for enhancement in one of Tuscany's most iconic locations.
