Castiglion Fiorentino, Arezzo, Tuscany, Italy

Nestled in the peaceful Tuscan countryside, just minutes from the charming town of Castiglion Fiorentino and overlooking the medieval Castle of Montecchio Vesponi, Leopoldina Residence offers a rare blend of elegance, history, and tranquility.

This remarkable home is part of an exclusive residential complex created from the complete restoration and subdivision of an 18th-century Leopoldina-style farmhouse, originally built in 1750 and once under the ownership of the Order of Saint Stephen, linked to the Grand Duke of Tuscany. Still bearing signs of its noble past and agricultural heritage, this home was lived in by sharecroppers until the post-war period. As one of them fondly recalls: "Inside that house, we were all happy."

The Home
Access to the residence is via an electric gate leading to a covered parking area. From there, a private garden path winds past a serene lily pond, a vine-covered pergola, and a shaded patio-the ideal retreat for reading, relaxing, or entertaining guests in complete privacy.

The house is spread over two levels, connected by a stone staircase in pietra serena. The ground floor opens directly into a welcoming living area, flooded with natural light from two large French doors that open to the lush garden. An interior arched glass partition separates this space from the warm, inviting kitchen, highlighted by its original barrel-vaulted ceiling and floors in antique Tuscan terracotta, which extend throughout the home.

Upstairs, you'll find a spacious master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, and a versatile second bedroom featuring a custom-designed chestnut wood structure that creates three interconnected yet distinct areas: a study, a relaxation nook with sofa bed, and a sleeping loft with a cozy double bed. A walk-in closet is tucked behind the loft, and smart storage has also been created under the staircase.

The ceilings feature exposed chestnut beams, and all windows and frames are crafted in solid wood, enhancing the authenticity and warmth of the interiors.

Leopoldina Residence is the perfect home for those seeking a peaceful retreat in a place of soul and significance-where history, nature, and modern comfort coexist in harmony.
