A few kilometers from Florence, an extraordinary sixteenth-century complex of significant historical and architectural prestige, which in the sixteenth century belonged to the powerful family of Francesco del Giocondo, husband of the Mona Lisa known as "la Gioconda". The villa then passed to the Antinori family, hence its name - Villa Antinori di Monte Aguglioni - and then again many times until the current owners. This exceptional complex, immersed in a 27-hectares ( 66,7185 acres) divided into gardens, tree-lined avenues and a large forest, consists of the main villa and numerous appurtenances such as the caretaker's house, buildings for agricultural use, the private chapel, the swimming pool and a tennis court. There are two entrances: the main and original one which leads, through an imposing iron gate, into the majestic cypress tree-lined avenue which leads to the garden with plants and ornamental tubs; the garden was designed by the well-known English architect Cecil Pinsent who gave it the characteristics of a real park, with roses, tall trees and symmetrical flowerbeds. From here, a staircase with a double opposing flight leads to the entrance of the villa, whose main body covers a total area of 2,800 sqmt ( 30.138,95 sqft), and is made up of three floors above ground and a basement. On the ground floor, from the loggia at the entrance, we find the large entrance hall, five lounges, a dining room, a corridor-hallway, kitchen, service entrance, two bathrooms, a storage room and a technical room. On the floor below there are three large halls, a large gallery opening onto the park, a kitchen, a dining room, two storage rooms, two bathrooms, three technical rooms and a cellar. On the first floor we find the sleeping area with five bedrooms, one of which has a panoramic veranda in antique iron, three wardrobe areas, five bathrooms, a splendid library, a storage room and a balcony on the main front. On the second floor there are two further bedrooms, a fitness room, a study, two bathrooms and the large terrace called dell'orologio, which offers a splendid view of the Florence plain. Finally, on the mezzanine floor there are the staff quarters, pantries, laundries, ironing rooms and further service rooms. In the same portion of the building there is a further unit for residential use and agricultural premises. The floors are connected to each other both by stairs and by an elevator. The villa has a private chapel with a polygonal plan, typical of the prestigious residences of the time and a clear example of seventeenth-century religious architecture. Among the annexes we find three structures used as an orangery, greenhouse, garage or technical rooms, as well as the caretaker's house and various buildings for agricultural use. The current appearance of this magnificent property, with the front surmounted by an elegant clock, was commissioned by Marchesa Nathalie Antinori at the beginning of the twentieth century, who made use of the work of her brother, the architect Egisto Paolo Fabbri, for the important restoration works, a well-known Cézanne collector. An unrepeatable opportunity to live in a piece of Florence's history, immersed in the Florentine countryside.

Prestigious historic residence immersed in a magnificent centuries-old park, just a short distance from the historic center of Florence. An authentic period property that combines the charm of history with the elegance of architecture in a unique setting of prestige and privacy. The villa is nestled among the hills and tells a fascinating story of history, art, and power, bearing witness to centuries of Florentine glory. Once a fortified tower and stronghold of the noble Canigiani family, the building has passed through our history, including the Battle of Montaperti in 1260, which led to the family's exile by the Ghibellines. The political downfall of the Canigiani house marked the beginning of a much more enduring legacy with the 1306 union between Diletta Canigiani and the notary Petracco, who fathered Francesco Petrarca - poet, writer, and humanist - considered one of the fathers of the Italian language and a central figure of early Humanism, celebrated alongside Dante and Boccaccio. Over the centuries, the property became home to important Florentine families, such as the Dell'Antella, treasurers to the Medici, who transformed it into an elegant country residence. Later architectural interventions left visible traces: today, the villa is a perfect balance between 14th-century simplicity and 16th-century richness, with unique features such as a barrel-vaulted loggia, a panoramic terrace, and a chapel frescoed in the style of Poccetti. After a careful restoration in the 1970s, this historic home has returned to its most authentic form, preserving the original charm intact. Surrounded by about 7 hectares of private parkland with manicured gardens, tree-lined avenues, and a vast forest, it offers a setting of complete privacy and prestige just minutes from Florence. The main villa, ideal for those seeking a residence rich in history and Tuscan charm, is laid out over several levels and stands out for its architectural grandeur, with 33 rooms, including: a grand entrance hall, three living rooms with coffered ceilings and fireplaces, a large dining room with fireplace and large windows overlooking the park, a sitting room, a second entrance with library, three en suite double bedrooms with walk-in closets, a main kitchen with service entrances, and a guest bathroom. The lower level features a large library fitted with technical shelving and a charming billiard room with direct garden access. A double bedroom with en suite bathroom is found on the mezzanine level. The first floor houses staff quarters and utility rooms. Within the villa's courtyard and loggia is the family chapel, dedicated to Saint Francis and decorated in the 1600s in the style of Poccetti, symbolizing the elegance typical of historic homes of the time. Also located here is Diletta Canigiani's historic bridal chamber, adorned with splendid period frescoes. On the loggia level are two residential units, ideal for guests or as a private study. The surrounding park features a stunning swimming pool with dining and barbecue area, a tennis court set in greenery, a guest house, and ample space that allows for the addition of a helipad for fast and exclusive connections. Completing the property are additional residences of various sizes and numerous service buildings: a garage adjacent to the villa, lemon house, storage facilities, technical rooms, cellars, pantries, laundry and ironing rooms, and several driveways ensuring privacy and independence between the different units. A timeless residence offering the privilege of living a chapter of Tuscan history, characterized by elegance, privacy, and the exclusive greenery of the Florentine hills.
