Prestigious 17th-century villa for sale in the exclusive Piazzale Michelangelo area, Florence.
The property is set within an expansive private park and is located just a few minutes’ walk from the famous "Piazzale", renowned for offering one of the most iconic panoramic views of the city. Its privileged position strikes a perfect balance between privacy, nature, and proximity to the historic city center, which can be easily reached on foot or within minutes by car.
The villa features an elegant U-shaped layout, with symmetrical wings overlooking a refined Italian-style garden, enhanced by two generous ground-floor terraces. A striking architectural highlight is the monumental semicircular double staircase leading to the main entrance, positioned at the center of the façade.
Over the years, the building has been meticulously preserved, maintaining its late-Renaissance aesthetic and the most authentic elements of Tuscan tradition, including terracotta floors, ceilings with impressive exposed wooden beams, pietra serena fireplaces, and numerous arched openings that create a harmonious flow between the spacious interiors. Some areas have undergone more recent renovations, incorporating contemporary materials such as glass and wood, achieving a refined balance between historic charm and modern design and creating an atmosphere of exceptional comfort and well-being.
The impressive double staircase leads to the furnished terraces—also accessible from two spacious internal living rooms—and to the villa’s central entrance. The ground floor comprises elegant reception rooms and sitting areas, a large kitchen, service rooms, a laundry area, and, in the west wing, a charming space with a pietra serena fireplace, historically used as a ballroom. A marble staircase leads to the first floor, dedicated to the sleeping area, which includes nine bedrooms, some featuring en-suite bathrooms and custom-made wardrobes.
The property is currently arranged into four residential units but can easily be reconfigured into a single prestigious residence or organized as a main home with a service apartment and a guesthouse.
The private park, covering over 6,000 square meters, features an elegant Italian-style garden at the front, evoking the charm of a noble past. The lateral green areas provide additional enchanting outdoor spaces, with the possibility of creating a swimming pool. A panoramic terrace offers breathtaking views over the surrounding countryside and the city of Florence, making it an ideal setting for relaxation. The property is completed by a large garage, ensuring secure and convenient parking.
This villa represents a property of outstanding prestige for those wishing to live immersed in the history and culture of Florence, in a luxury residence equipped with modern comforts, located in one of the city’s most sought-after areas and just steps from the historic center. A truly unique and unrepeatable opportunity in one of the most fascinating settings in the world. The published address is purely indicative.
