This property is on the market with Prima Real Estate. Price is disclosed upon application with the listing agency.

This renovated luxury villa offers incredible views over olive groves and the city of Florence below, set in one of the most sought-after areas south-west of the city known as the ‘Cradle of the Renaissance’.

Florence, the capital of Italy’s Tuscany region, is a world-renowned icon of beauty and art, home to many masterpieces of Renaissance art and architecture, many of which are attributed to the patronage of the Medicis, an eponymous Italian banking family and political dynasty.

This luxury villa for sale was once a part of the adjacent Villa Medicea di Marignolle, the only Medici villa located in this suburb of Florence, which also served as a temporary residence of Italian astronomer, physicist, and engineer Galileo Galilei.

Nestled in a 1.23 acre garden with a lovely internal courtyard, the property has been fully restored following an extensive restoration with modern upgrades like home automation throughout.

The main villa has been divided into 2 separate apartments which can be re-joined, offering 4 bedrooms in one apartment and another independent apartment with external access offering an additional 2 bedrooms.

A chapel on the property dating to the 1200s has also been restored into a third independent 1-bedroom apartment, decorated by Florentine interior designer Riccardo Barthel.

A fourth independent unit with 1-bedroom is located beneath the large lawn of the main villa with independent access.

The property comes with approved plans to build a swimming pool, and is sold fully furnished.

A unique property with plenty of potential for rental income generation in one of the top destinations in Italy, as well as being well positioned as an elegant second home in one of the most sought-after residential areas in Florence.
