The property for sale is situated near central Florence, but in a countryside setting with a high level of privacy.
The Villa Campanile is a truly unique opportunity to acquire a traditional Tuscan property surrounded by olive groves within just a few minutes of the centre of Florence. Approached from the road running between Florence and Fiesole, one enters by private drive with security gates and is immediately struck by the tranquility of the setting, nestled into a sweeping hillside, with attractive views through the valley.
The Property
The exterior of the house is that of the Tuscan countryside with charming features such as the original bell tower and cloistered entrance courtyard. Originally a monastery, added to in the 18th Century and then fully restored in the 1960s by one of the leading architects of Florence, Berardi.
In total there are 1052 m² of floor area spread over three floors. The rooms on the garden floor are particularly impressive, centered around the main reception room with mezzanine level, 114 m² of floor area, high ceilings and floor to ceiling windows leading onto panoramic terraces.
The Grounds & Garden
The grounds surrounding the property for sale cover almost 2 hectares (18,000 m²) and include a tennis court, a ”limonaia“ and two small storerooms. Should one wish, there would be no problem adding a swimming pool. For outside living and dining during the summer months one can choose from the pergola leading off the kitchen, terracing leading off the principal reception rooms on the garden level and a terrace leading off the lower ground floor. There are also two parking areas suitable for several cars.
