Villa luminosa

Located in the immediate vicinity of a renowned historic city, this remarkable villa dating from the early 16th century was originally designed for a renowned noble family. Nestled just 6km from the historic heart of the city, it stands proudly within a spectacular 5-hectare estate, entirely enclosed by walls, offering absolute tranquility and privacy. The estate is spread over three distinct levels, each characterized by its own masterfully landscaped gardens, which have become a constant delight for the senses. This garden, listed as one of the historic gardens of Italy, is a true living work of art with its gushing fountains, contemplative statues, refreshing waterfalls, and paths lined with natural amphitheaters and lush vegetation. Adjacent to the main house are former 16th century stables, witnesses to a rich and fascinating past. These stables hold a unique history that has surprised even royalty, revealing the audacity and grandeur of the era. Today, these historic structures have been transformed into a spacious apartment on several levels, offering breathtaking views of the majestic residence, the sumptuous gardens and the adjoining swimming pool. Tenants will enjoy an authentic Tuscan living environment, with welcoming and comfortable furnishings scattered throughout various rooms and kitchens. Designed for comfort and elegance, the apartment includes modern facilities, with air conditioning in the majority of the living areas, with the exception of the rooms on the ground floor which open directly onto an enchanting private garden. This space is complemented by an attractive swimming pool and outdoor facilities designed for relaxation and al fresco dining, including a barbecue and a summer dining area. Residents and their guests can also enjoy recreational facilities such as a synthetic grass tennis court, occasionally shared with members of the owning family. In addition, the site has had the honour of hosting a renowned classical music festival, transforming summer evenings into magical and memorable moments right in the gardens facing the loggia. This historic residence is also modern in its amenities, offering WIFI internet connection to meet contemporary needs, while still bathing in the charm and history of a bygone era.
