Artist’s Villa with Gardens and Swimming Pool - Nestled in the rolling hills of southern Florence, within one of the city’s most exclusive and sought-after areas, stands this extraordinary property. It is a residence of rare charm, where the authenticity of Tuscan tradition meets the creative sensibility and timeless elegance of the family of artists who have lived in and shaped it over the years.
Surrounded by a magnificent private park, the villa captivates from the very first glance. A large terraced garden leads to the main entrance, introducing visitors to an atmosphere of absolute harmony between architecture, nature, and art. The splendid swimming pool, set amongst the greenery and accessed via a picturesque staircase descending from the main villa, is one of the property's most enchanting spots—an oasis of tranquility and beauty immersed in the Tuscan landscape.
The residence is accessed through a lush, green patio that serves as the true heart of the home: a space suspended between indoors and outdoors. It is adorned with an original, handcrafted floor depicting a sun that seamlessly spans the threshold, perfectly symbolizing the continuous relationship between the house and its garden. This refined winter garden acts as a central hub from which the villa’s various rooms branch out.
The interior spaces unfold with natural elegance across several levels, offering a sequence of rooms brimming with character. The ground floor features a spectacular main kitchen—designed to be the soul of the home—alongside numerous reception rooms, each with its own distinct atmosphere, tailored for formal occasions, social gatherings, and everyday living. This level also includes a second, cozier kitchen, adjoining a welcoming lounge dedicated to dinners and intimate gatherings with friends.
The upper floor reveals a magnificent private living room, a space of rare charm that invites reading, contemplation, and conversation, which in turn leads to the sleeping quarters. The bedrooms, each with its own unique identity, blend harmoniously into the villa’s setting, while the meticulously detailed bathrooms are true design statements.
Vaulted ceilings, antique doorways, artisan-selected materials, and fine architectural details capture the soul of this residence, making each room distinct yet perfectly cohesive. Ample service areas ensure the property is as highly functional as it is beautiful.
The estate also includes a self-contained guest apartment, comprising a kitchen, a living room, and two bedrooms. It is ideal for hosting guests or providing complete independence for a second family.
A short distance from the main villa lies one of the property's most charming spaces: an extraordinary, fully glazed gallery overlooking an elegant portico surrounded by greenery. Formerly the studio of the owner—an artist of great sensitivity—this space now offers exceptional potential. It is perfectly suited as a creative studio, wellness area, private showroom, or spectacular reception hall where light, nature, and architecture interact in perfect harmony.
This is a truly unique property that effortlessly combines the prestige of a historic Tuscan villa with a contemporary, artistic spirit. It is a residence designed for those seeking not merely a house, but a special place to live in and pass down to future generations.
