A fine example of Renaissance architecture, attributed to the school of Buontalenti, a stunning villa of 2,450 m2 which has a double three-arched open gallery held aloft by columns with cornicing in pietra serena. The expansive, main fireplace dates from the 15th-Century and a 16th-Century wash basin and a little chapel with a fine picture of the Saint Family. At only 7 km from Fiesole the villa is located in the most exclusive area of Florence. The villa is in need of some restoration. Surrounded by enchanting Florentine countryside with cypress trees, green fields, grape yards and farmhouses. The villa dates from an age where an estate was a symbol of the wealth and the taste of the owner and often became the symbolic backdrop of the legends which grew up around the family. Near the villa there is the farmer house and the opportunity for additional buildings that would take the estate to a total floor area of 4,500 m2. There is also 6 hectares of parkland that can be make even bigger with other land that the estate can offer to anybody interested in the opportunity to make a little golf course. This estate is unique in his beauty, for the impressing position in the heart of the Tuscan countryside and for the inherent potential for a commercial activity such as well being centre or company retreat.
