Charming villa with outbuilding and big park with olive trees for sale in Settignano
Wonderful fine estate with a view over Florence for sale on the outskirts of the city centre
Immersed in the heart of Tuscany, this luxury villa is one of the most prestigious properties for sale around Florence. Situated in an exclusive residential area, in a dominant position over the city, it boasts a breathtaking view over the Renaissance skyline of Florence. The property offers an internal surface area of approximately 500 sqm and is immersed in a magnificent private park of 1.5 hectares dotted with centuries-old olive and fruit trees, where there is a swimming pool, a tennis court and a 50-sqm outbuilding.
The property is located in the Settignano district, one of the most exclusive and popular areas of Florence, known for the beauty of its natural views and its centuries-old history. Shrouded in the tranquillity of the Florentine hills, Settignano has always been a source of inspiration for artists and writers, such as Giovanni Boccaccio and Niccolò Tommaseo, who is remembered with a statue in the centre of the square dedicated to him, and has been the cradle of numerous sculptors who were protagonists of the Renaissance. During the 19th century, the villas in the area became the exclusive residences of great personalities such as Mark Twain, Gabriele d'Annunzio, Eleonora Duse, and Aldo Palazzeschi. Today this place still presents itself in its most beautiful and authentic form: a delightful village with splendid villas and landscapes that seem to be paintings, where time seems to have stood still, just a few minutes from the centre of Florence.
The main villa is on two levels, guaranteeing a functional and refined layout of the rooms. The interior spaces have been renovated with fine materials that enhance the elegant and timeless style of the property. A large entrance hall leads to the living area, where a living room flooded with natural light offers ample space for relaxation, flanked by a splendid and very bright dining room overlooking the outdoor veranda. This is complemented by a big modern kitchen, a study, a practical utility room and two bathrooms. Going upstairs we find the sleeping area, consisting of three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a master suite with access to a terrace with a splendid view of Florence. Designed with extreme attention to detail, the rooms have spacious walk-in wardrobes and are embellished with quality finishes.
The villa is surrounded by a lush 1.5-hectare garden, a true private natural paradise. Here, amidst shady paths and tastefully landscaped spaces, there is a swimming pool that invites you to cool off on hot summer days, and a tennis court, perfect for sports enthusiasts. The orchard and olive grove further enrich the landscape, ensuring that fresh, wholesome produce is available directly on the property.
The property also has an annexe: an optimal solution for guests or staff. Consisting of a living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, it provides all the necessary comforts while guaranteeing privacy and functionality. The 78-sqm garage is excellent for vehicles and tools, thus completing this exclusive property.
This charming villa for sale is not just a place to live, but an exclusive retreat where the soul of Florence unfolds. Every detail, from the splendid panoramic windows to the vast private park to the spaces dedicated to relaxation and entertainment, is designed to provide a unique living experience in which refinement and comfort come together to offer unforgettable memories.
