5 bedrooms villa, 600 m²

Florence, Florence (province)

Chianti

The historic villa is located in the prestigious area of Poggio Imperiale in Florence, a short distance from the famous Medici Villa and about 4 km from the International School of Florence, immersed in the enchanting hills that offer an oasis of peace and tranquility.

This stately residence, dating back to the fifteenth century, has an internal area of about 600 square meters and is part of a large former convent, a witness of centuries of history. Following the transformation of its original religious function into a residential, the building has been divided into several units. A careful restoration has allowed you to preserve many original architectural elements, such as the vaulted ceilings, the ancient stone fireplaces and the frescoes, carefully restored in homage to the external fountain of the Buonotalenti.

The house is spread over four levels, wisely distributed to ensure privacy and comfort.

On the ground floor there is a bright living area articulated into three large rooms. On one side there is a bathroom and a laundry room, while on the opposite side there is access to the kitchen with pantry, the dining room and the stairwell. The dining area opens onto the garden, offering the possibility of fully experiencing the outdoor space.

Going down to the basement, once used as cellars, today there is a private gym, a guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom and rooms characterized by picturesque exposed masonry vaults, a testimony of the ancient intended use.

Going up from the ground floor, a half staircase, there is access to a bedroom with private bathroom. Continuing on the first floor you enter the most elegant and private part of the villa: a manor area consisting of a bedroom with bathroom and walk-in closet, a living room with fireplace and, via a corridor, you reach the main suite with large en-suite bathroom and wardrobe. Finally, an internal staircase leads to the attic floor, where another bedroom with bathroom and walk-in wardrobe has been created.

The private garden, about 2,500 square meters, is completely fenced and offers absolute privacy. Cared for in the smallest detail, it houses a beautiful swimming pool made of sandstone with solarium area and an outdoor area equipped with kitchen, perfect for lunches and outdoor dinners in total relaxation.

Among the fine elements of the garden stands the original sixteenth-century fountain designed by the architect Bernardo Buontalenti, inspired by the Roman neighborhood, flanked by two marble busts.

This exclusive property includes a convenient internal lift and a parking area with four parking spaces, which also has a column for charging electric vehicles, ideal for those who want to combine elegance and sustainability.

In a strategic and private position, a few kilometers from the historic heart of Florence, this luxury residence is a perfect combination of history, elegance and tranquility, ideal for those who want to live surrounded by the timeless beauty of the Florentine countryside.
