Historical Villa For Sale In Poggio Imperiale, Florence

This historical villa is in Florence's prestigious Poggio Imperiale area, not far from the Medici Villa and just 4 km from Florence's International School, on the wonderful hills that offer peace and quietness.

This stately home attributable to the 15th century, measures 600 square meters and is part of a large former convent. Over the centuries the religious function gave way to the residential one and the villa was then internally divided into several units. The restoration of the building has allowed to maintain most of the original features, including some beautiful vaulted ceilings, stone fireplaces and frescoes that have been preserved and restored where necessary, inspired by the outdoor fountain, designed by Buontalenti.

The beautiful estate has three levels. The ground floor houses a spacious living area, divided into three very bright rooms. At one end are the spare bathroom and a laundry room. On the opposite side of the building, we find the stairwell, the kitchen with a pantry and the dining room with an exit to the garden.

Going down the staircase we enter what were once the cellars of the villa, now converted into a private gym with a guest bedroom and en-suite bathroom. The underground rooms feature some unique vaults in exposed masonry which allow us to recognize the original destination of the rooms as cellars and warehouses.

From the ground floor, halfway up the staircase, we reach a bedroom with a private bathroom. Continuing on, we then reach the first floor, characterized by more noble and elegant rooms. The hallway leads to a bedroom with a private bathroom and a walk-in closet on one side, and a living room with a fireplace on the other. From here, we then pass through a corridor to reache the master bedroom, complete with a big en-suite bathroom and a private walk-in closet. From the living room, we can also climb a staircase that leads to the attic that houses the last bedroom with a bathroom and walk-in closet.

This enchanting property includes a 2,500-sqm private garden, surrounded by a wall and very private, perfectly maintained with a splendid designer swimming pool, ideal for cooling off and relaxing in the sunbathing area located right next to it.

In the enchanting garden, there is still the fountain created by architect Bernardo Buontalenti in the 1580s, inspired by the nymphaeums of the Roman era and flanked by two marble busts.

This prestigious estate is completed by an elevator and a parking area with four parking spaces.

Located in an exclusive strategic position, a few kilometers from the major historical monuments of the city, this luxury estate is perfect for fully enjoying absolute privacy and tranquillity, letting yourself be carried away by the grandeur of Florentine history.
