Nestled in the rolling Tuscan hills just a few kilometers from Florence, this property enchants with its historic charm and impressive architecture. Built around a medieval watchtower, this exclusive residence offers the perfect blend of history, elegance and modern comforts, providing extreme privacy and sweeping views of the surrounding countryside.

The villa is developed 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. To the right, a separate apartment on two levels offers privacy and independence, while to 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 sitting rooms, a bathroom and a service area, as well as the second part of the separate apartment, 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 smooth distribution of space.

Surrounded by 3 hectares of sloping land, much of which is devoted to a prized certified organic olive grove, the property boasts a variety of valuable accessory structures. These include a 360-square-meter farmhouse, a historic chapel, a charming cave with fountain, and a 160-square-meter two-story garage. The large garden with panoramic terrace is embellished with tall cypress trees and offers multiple spaces to relax and enjoy the view of the Tuscan hills.

The villa holds an important historical and architectural heritage, evidenced 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 Florentine historicity is combined with an impeccable renovation overseen by architect Niccolò Rucellai, who restored the mansion to its original splendor in 1973. The extreme privacy and the presence of several convertible sheds and ruins make this residence a unique opportunity for those seeking an exclusive home in the most authentic Tuscany.

Located in the northern area of Florence, the villa enjoys a strategic location along one of the ancient Roman roads that connected the city with Prato and Pistoia. While immersed in the quiet of the Tuscan countryside, the property is just minutes from the region’s main services and prestigious resorts, offering the perfect balance of history, nature and modern comfort.

Calenzano is a charming Tuscan town 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 location and proximity to the region’s main cultural centers, Calenzano is a perfect blend of tranquility and convenience.
