Historic Noble Estate For Sale In Florence
Villa of great historic interest for sale on the hill of Pian dei Giullari
Charming villa with historic prestige and a wonderful view over Florence
Located on the hill of Pian dei Giullari, overlooking Florence, this historic villa for sale completely dominates the landscape over Florence and offers a unique view.
In the second half of the 16th century this villa, once a majestic country palace with a tower, was converted into a noble estate and still preserves today the typical charm of renaissance palaces.
This property is surrounded by a wonderful fenced park of 5,000m2 divided into three levels: the first terrace, behind the villa, is a large lawn which follows the northern facade of the estate, adorned by a centuries-old wisteria.
On the East side, on the same level, you can go inside a precious, rectangular shaped, secret garden with geometric flowerbeds hemmed by boxwood hedges.
On the West side there are another two secret gardens, adorned by boxwood parterre and surrounded by high walls crowned by beautifully curved battlements and ancient cotto urns. Crossing a wrought-iron gate, you can reach the second garden, in the middle of which there is a beautiful stone basin with waterlilies.
Continuing the tour of the garden through centuries-old plants, you will reach a lovely, recently built, rectangular swimming pool surrounded by rows of tall cypresses. This historic estate also has a vegetable garden, where you can enjoy the view of some centuries-old olive trees.
The main villa has an internal surface of 1,500 m2; its rooms have been carefully and finely renovated by keeping its prestigious original materials such as its cotto tiled floors, wooden beams and marble or gray sandstone finishings.
With the renovation works the villa was divided into five apartments with independent access, which can be easily re-united. All rooms are bright, majestic and recall the fairy-tale charm of old times.
To complete this complex for sale there are 6.5 hectares of olive groves and another two buildings. The first is a 200m2 greenhouse while the second, of 100m2, is used as a tool shed.
