Elegant Medicea villa in the heart of Tuscany
INFO
DESCRIPTION
Elegant Medicean villa of 1550 sq.m. total internal surface area, used for high-level receptive activity with swimming pool and 4 hectares land, immersed in the green of the typical Tuscan hills, in the municipality of Scarperia.
Description
Access to the property is through an imposing tree-lined avenue, from which one glimpses the charming loggia leading to the imposing halls connected by round arches and enriched by frescoes and coffered ceilings. The first hall is called the "Salone dei Medici" and there you can admire the imposing 14th-century pietra serena fireplace bearing the coat of arms of the well-known Florentine family. The second hall is named Michelangelo for its frescoes restored according to the traditions of the artist's school. The third and final hall bears the name of one of the most important glass artisans of the 19th century, Galileo Chini, whose work we can admire here.
As a whole, the property is divided into four internally connected units, although it presents itself as a single property. Currently used as a high-end hospitality business and location for elegant ceremonies, the villa is accessorized with a professional kitchen and various rooms ancillary to the business. The upper floor of the main body houses 8 suites of various sizes, from 35 sqm to 80 sqm, all with en-suite bathrooms with Jacuzzi tub or shower. Some of the units are now used as private residences, but can easily be used for the hospitality business, being internally connected.
Outdoor Spaces
The prestigious villa is surrounded by its beautiful private park of no less than 4 hectares on which lies the wonderful swimming pool designed by the famous architect Porcinai, with panoramic views of the surrounding hills. In the park it is possible to admire two redwood trees and a Chapel still consecrated dated 1729.
Condition and finishes
The first construction of the villa dates back to the 1400s, built on the foundations of an ancient Ubaldina tower dating back to the 11th century, which is still identifiable; it was Lorenzo and Giovanni de' Medici, sons of Pier Francesco di Lorenzo de' Medici, who commissioned the construction of the villa. In the 1700s it underwent numerous restorations, which preserved the characters of the oldest original layout, while the recent renovation was carried out by the current owners.
Potential uses
Ideal as a private and exclusive residence in the heart of Tuscany and perfect at the same time for those who wish to continue the receptive activity excellently started by the owner family.
Location
The property is located in the heart of Mugello, 7 km from the highway exit, 6 km from the Golf Club Poggio dei Medici, 14 km from the Designer Outlet, 8 km from the Autodromo and halfway between the important art cities of Siena and Florence, the renowned resorts of Chianti and the sea.
