Wonderful Renaissance villa for sale near Florence
Prestigious historical villa for sale in San Casciano Val di Pesa
This spectacular villa dating back to the 16th century is for sale in Chianti, in a leafy hilly area about 30 kilometres from Florence.
Commissioned by a powerful Florentine family, this estate saw the likes of several different owners, who also extended it and made architectural changes over the centuries, giving it the looks we can still admire today. Its main façade, in fact, is quite special, as it is in a Baroque style, an uncommon feature in Tuscany.
Since 2001, this property has been refurbished by using materials and technologies of the highest quality. It majestically measures 4,600 m2 and features twenty-five bedrooms, a small private church, the latest systems, which undoubtedly make it one of the gems of this area's real estate market, a place that perfectly blends extraordinary comforts with a centuries-old charm.
The wonderful main villa measures over 2,600 m2, has four floors and features a typical crenellated tower. The lower-ground floor is home to some cellars, which are spread over several rooms and have direct access to the garden. The ceilings of these enchanting rooms are over five metres high and feature huge doors made of stone and wood.
Upstairs, the ground floor features a stunning music room, two bedrooms, a kitchen with a tea room annexed to it, another kitchen, three living room, a coatroom, a winter garden and an external courtyard that measures over 100 m2. In all rooms we can admire refined finishes, marble or cotto-tiled floors, ceilings with wooden beams, window and door frames made by local workers, frescoes and well-renovated decorations.
The first floor is home to a sleeping area composed of ten bedrooms with private bathroom, some of which also have an en-suite sitting room; there are then a library and a living room.
On the second and last floor there are six bedrooms with private bathroom, a laundry room and a storage closet, while the turret features a bedroom, a living room and a bathroom.
The atelier measures 262 m2 and is on two floors which are home to the living and sleeping area, respectively.
This property also includes a small, 16th-century private chapel and some other buildings that are currently used as wood shed or tool shed.
This estate is surrounded by 7.3 hectares of grounds where we can admire a big rose garden, an elegant Italian-style garden, a productive olive grove, hedges and pleasantly-scented plants. The projects for a tennis court and a swimming pool have already been approved.
These are three parking areas that can fit a big number of cars, a feature that is surely a must for those who wish to convert this estate into a high-end tourist accommodation facility.
