Villa for sale in Settignano, Firenze, Firenze, Toscana

Description

Heritage Villa with pool and view of Florence - Tuscany
Nineteenth-century style villa with colonnades, turret, guest houses, 17 bedrooms, pool, boasting crazy views for sale in Settignano, Florence. Settignano is located on the hills behind Florence, just 7 km from the Ponte Vecchio, at 300 meters above sea level. For centuries, it has been a summer retreat for leading Florentine families, thanks to its temperate climate and natural woods. Surrounded by a 17-acre (7-hectare) park, this villa is a magnificent example of 19th-century Florentine architecture. It has three floors above ground over an Italian-style garden and features a majestic double staircase on the façade connected to panoramic terraces on various sides of the building. On the third floor, the old loggia with colonnades has living spaces with stained glass windows. A small turret rises on the roof, culminating in a terrace from which to gaze into infinity. The reception halls, study, and dining rooms are decorated with stuccoes and frescoes, and follow one another on the various floors joined by an imposing central travertine staircase lit by large windows and bordered by a stylish wrought-iron balustrade. On the second floor are three master bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms and impressive views from all windows. The panorama in front is as far as the eye can see over the countryside and the city of Florence, magical in the evening when it lights up for the night. On the ground floor, a glazed room houses a veranda with a winter garden. All rooms feature original handmade floorings with marble, terracotta, and parquet. To the rear of the main façade, the villa opens onto the farm buildings consisting of a country house and a former barn, featuring stone façades and terracotta walls, renovated into four typical rustic Tuscan-style guest quarters. In a reserved corner of the park is a swimming pool. The land with olive groves, vineyards, and woodland, houses a natural water spring and a well. A strategic position on the outskirts of Florence, a year-round villa with unique views. Apolloni & Blom's new office is opening in the center of Florence, at Borgo San Jacopo 68R.
