Set in one of the most prestigious areas of Florence, a stone's throw from the city centre and away from the hubbub of metropolitan life, this historic villa is located on the beautiful hill of Arcetri where it boasts breathtaking panoramic views of the lush hills that surround it, between medieval walls and Renaissance fortifications.The independent historic property, is about 470 mq and has about 1 hectar of land comprising of a lovely garden and a big parking area and an annex that includes a garage and an extra room.The luxury residence, developed on three levels, is now divided into two units. The main unit has a beautiful lounge, with a typical fireplace, that has views on the covered arched veranda overlooking the lush unspoiled countryside, a big kitchen with a beautiful traditional stove and a dining area. On this level we also have a bedroom with ensuite bathroom and other service rooms. On the upper floor there are another four bedrooms (three double and a single) and a lovely lounge leading to the oustanding loggia, one of the most beautiful and characteristic facets of the villa. An ideal place for eating al fresco.The top floor houses the second unit, a self-contained flat with open-plan kitchen and lounge, a double bedroom, an extra room and a very charming little balcony again with wonderful views of the nearby historic buildings and valleys. The villa, in need of modernization, is defined by the use of traditional materials and finishes.Private but not isolated, it is by no means a one-of-a-kind rare find in the renaissance gem that is Florence.
