9 bedrooms villa, 950 m²

Florence, Florence (province)

Chianti

Nestled in the hillside, just ten minutes from the historic center of Florence in the renowned area of Marignolle, this magnificent villa dates back to 1450. The complete restoration recently carried out has breathed new life into this beautiful property, seamlessly blending its ancient structure with fine materials and modern technology to create an elegant and exquisite home. Every detail has been meticulously thought through to create a high-tech property with the timeless elegance of Tuscan villas. 

On the ground floor, the grand entrance greets visitors with a beautiful staircase leading to the upstairs sleeping area. To the left, a welcoming open-plan kitchen and elegant dining room both offer direct access to the garden, perfect for convivial dinners in a refined setting and to the right, a handsome reception room with fireplace provides a perfect space for relaxation, lined with beautiful wood paneling. Another staircase leads to the lower level, where there is the cigar room: an intimate sitting room with leather armchairs and exposed stone walls, connected to the finely-stocked wine cellar, an area perfect for wine tasting.
Through a historic passageway from the wine cellar, one reaches an indoor heated swimming pool, complete with a countercurrent swimming system and cinema screen. A scenic exposed stone corridor from the cigar room leads to a guest bathroom and a second kitchen that opens onto the outdoor pool, perfect for preparing light lunches or aperitifs to enjoy outdoors.

Returning to the ground floor lies the guest wing. One of these bedrooms features beautiful ceiling to floor windows with direct access to the garden. A second double bedroom features a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom. 

Continuing to the upper floor, one rejoins the main sleeping area, which includes four double bedrooms and three bathrooms. The expansive primary bedroom suite features a large bathroom and walk-in wardrobes, a perfect blend of comfort and elegance.  In every area we find seating areas and terraces to enjoy moments of privacy and relaxation.
Surrounded by a beautiful formal lawned garden and rose garden, flower beds, box hedges, olive trees and lemon trees adorning the paved areas, the villa enjoys an enviable location with majestic views of the rolling hills, so characteristic of the Florentine countryside. It also features a stunning outdoor heated swimming pool, a shaded pergola area and pizza oven for summer dining. 

The villa boasts a private parking area and a secondary entrance to the property. 
The entire restoration has been meticulously documented in a book that chronicles the villa's rebirth with photos and explanations. The villa is sold turnkey, complete with all furniture and furnishings, including works of art, valuable Ginori dinnerware and French glassware.
