Immersed in the rolling Tuscan hills just a few kilometres from Florence, this property enchants with its historic charm and imposing architecture. Built around a medieval watchtower, this exclusive residence offers a perfect blend of history, elegance and modern comforts, guaranteeing extreme privacy and a wide panoramic view over the surrounding countryside.

The villa is built around a splendid inner courtyard that serves as the beating heart of the residence. On the mezzanine floor, refined reception rooms are harmoniously distributed, with majestic symmetrical stone staircases leading to the various levels. On the right, a separate flat on two levels offers privacy and independence, while on the left, the entrance hall introduces a large living room that leads to a bedroom with bathroom, a second living room, a dining room, another bedroom with bathroom and vestiaire, and an eat-in kitchen. The lower floor houses a library with vaulted ceilings, elegant lounges, a bathroom and a service area, as well as the second part of the separate flat, consisting of three rooms and two bathrooms. The mezzanine floor houses five rooms and three bathrooms on two levels, while the medieval tower contains a charming room with bathroom and a breathtaking view of the valley. A stone staircase and a second service staircase connect all floors, ensuring a fluid distribution of space.

Surrounded by 3 hectares of sloping land, much of which is given over to a fine certified organic olive grove, the property boasts a variety of valuable ancillary structures. These include a farmhouse of approx. 360 sqm, a historic chapel, a charming grotto with fountain, and a two-storey garage of 160 sqm. The large garden with panoramic terrace is embellished by tall cypress trees and offers multiple spaces for relaxing and enjoying the view of the Tuscan hills.

The villa preserves an important historical and architectural heritage, witnessed by the Ginori coats of arms on the main door, on the fireplace in the large living room and on the chapel. The charm of the Florentine historicity is combined with an impeccable renovation by architect Niccolò Rucellai, who restored the residence to its original splendour in 1973. The extreme privacy and the presence of various convertible sheds and ruins make this residence a unique opportunity for those seeking an exclusive residence in the most authentic Tuscany.

Located in the northern area of Florence, the villa enjoys a strategic position along one of the ancient Roman roads that connected the city with Prato and Pistoia. Although immersed in the quietness of the Tuscan countryside, the property is only a few minutes from the main services and prestigious locations of the region, offering the perfect balance of history, nature and modern comfort.

Calenzano is a charming Tuscan municipality located between Florence and Prato, known for its rich historical heritage and picturesque hills. Dominated by the medieval castle, the village retains the typical atmosphere of the Florentine tradition, with ancient parish churches, noble villas and a strong agricultural vocation. Thanks to its strategic position and proximity to the region's main cultural centres, Calenzano represents a perfect combination of tranquillity and convenience.
