Splendid large orangerie expertly transformed into an elegant villa in the beautiful Via Bolognese in Florence. Ten minutes from Piazza della Libertà, protected by a large garden of approximately 5,000 square meters ( approx. 53,82 sqft), the charming Villa Orvieto - whose first records date back to the XVth century - is reached via an imposing entrance gate and an access road that leads to the parking area. From the ancient wooden portal you enter the villa where on the right we find the kitchen and the large living room with access to the garden and the covered loggia where you can have lunch in front of the panorama of the northern hill of Florence. There is also a dining room and on the left there are two double bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. Through a staircase we reach the basement, also accessible externally and therefore perfectly independent, where we find two bedrooms, two small living rooms, two bathrooms and closets; in addition to the cellar and the technical room. The house is flooded with light on four sides and perfectly restored. Given its shape, the villa is suitable for a family that wants to leave independence to their children or in any case for large families who want to enjoy privacy and green space all year round. The villa is rented with a contract expiring in 2026, so it is also - momentarily - an excellent investment. A rare opportunity on the Florentine market.
