Residential For Sale-Tuscany-Florence-V58953-X

Built at the beginning of the 15th century by the Fortini family, this wonderful villa lies in a part of the Florentine countryside that historically provided wealthy families with quiet and fresh air, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, just 7km away.

In 1420, it passed onto the Bardi family, then to Giovanni della Stufa and eventually to the renowned artist Benvenuto Cellini in 1548.

The villa is situated at the end of an unpaved private road, cutting through olive groves and scenic Tuscan countryside.

It is on three floors plus a generous basement (the old cellars) and a 40 sqm garage and is surrounded by an Italian Garden of 800 sqm.

The entire property is fenced off, enveloped by secular olive groves and with a stunning view over Fiesole.

On the ground floor, through the main entrance, we find the living area with a fireplace, as well as three rooms and a bathroom.

A beautiful staircase in pietra serena stone leads you to the first floor, to a bright room with three windows and a small wrought-iron balcony. This floor features three bedrooms and three bathrooms.

The second floor, previously used as an attic, features exposed wooden beams.

A further, smaller, staircase goes up to the tower, which has a lovely view over the hills.
