Sold Luxurious Villa In Florence With A View Of The Duomo

Luxurious historic villa on Via San Leonardo in Florence, one of the most exclusive areas of the city, a stone's throw from Piazzale Michelangelo and only ten minutes from the city center.

The villa is divided into three apartments, totaling 2 thousand square meters of interior and 20 thousand square meters of exterior, with a wonderful view of Florence Cathedral.

Although the majestic villa façade has the architectural features typical of 17th-century villas, rich in Baroque decorations, its origin is older: in the early 15th century it appears to have been owned by the Galilei family, perhaps ancestors of Galileo Galilei.

The villa's scenic facade, facing Via San Leonardo, features a stone staircase with a double pincer ramp that leads to the main floor, while, at ground level, a gateway leads into the central courtyard around which the building is built. The villa is surrounded by a park with Italian-style gardens on the front and one side. A late 17th-century style chapel, separate from the body of the villa, is part of the property.
