A small central-plan 16th-century church (76 sqm - 818 sqft) is also included in the property, as well as some other buildings currently being used as storage for firewood and tools, all for a total of 814 sqm (8,791 sqft). The original building dates back to the 16th century and was built on the land once belonging to a powerful Florentine Guelph family. After several years, during which the property changed owners multiple times, the villa was enlarged and modified under supervision of a Florentine architect at the beginning of the 18th century. The south-western facade of the building was preserved in its 16th century aspect, while the old farm was incorporated in the villa once and for all. The main facade, over the garden, was realized with a baroque style typical of the city of Rome and fairly uncommon in Tuscany. On the eastern side, the raised italian garden offered enough space underground for the construction of a spacious cellar. Both the facades, while asymmetrical after the enlargement of the 18th century, still boast three lines of windows: the lower one with 'inginocchiate' (literally meaning kneeled) windows, the first floor ones with stone frames and the upper ones smaller and less decorated. The property has been carefully and finely restored (starting in 2001) using only original and prestigious materials, while installing all the modern comforts such as air conditioning, alarm system, satellite TV, ADSL and Wi-Fi. The villa is in excellent conditions: floors are covered in marble and terracotta, while walls are plastered with marble powder. Ceilings are supported by wooden beams, which matches the wooden fixtures scattered all over the residence and realized in cypress wood by Tuscan artisans. Many rooms boast frescoes and decorations which have been carefully restored over the years. Finally, windows are large and grants a nice brightness to the rooms, all coupled with the presence of double glazing which offers a high degree of security. - Tennis Court - Pergolas - Rose Garden - Italian Garden - Aromatherapy Garden - Church - Irrigation System - Well - Olive Grove - Cellars
