Classical-style villa with turret, farmhouses, 19 rooms, swimming pool, crazy views as far as the eye can see for sale in Settignano, Florence. At 300 meters above sea level in the hills behind Florence, Settignano, just 7 km from the city center, is a place that for centuries hosted noble Florentine families to stay during summer periods thanks to a cooler and always breezy climate. The panorama in front is as far as the eye can see over the countryside and the city of Florence, magical in the evening when it lights up for the night. Surrounded by a 7-hectare park with olive groves and woods, this splendid villa is a magnificent example of 19th-century Florentine architecture, spread over three floors above ground on an Italianate garden and featuring a majestic double staircase on the facade that joins panoramic terraces on various sides of the building. On the third floor the old loggia with colonnades has been transformed into living spaces with stained glass windows. A small turret rises on the roof, culminating in a terrace from which to gaze at infinity. The reception halls, study and dining rooms are decorated with stucco and frescoes, and follow one another on the various floors joined by an imposing central staircase of travertine and wrought-iron balustrade lit by large windows. On the ground floor a glazed room houses a conservatory veranda. The floors offer original handmade coverings with marble, terracotta and, in some rooms, parquet. To the rear of the main facade the villa opens onto the farm buildings consisting of a farmhouse and a former barn, with rough stone facades and terracotta walls, renovated into four apartments in typical rustic Tuscan style. In a reserved corner of the park is a swimming pool. The land with olive grove, vineyard and forest has a natural water spring and a well. Strategic location at the gates of Florence, a villa to live all year round with unique views.
