Tuscany, Arezzo, Terranuova Bracciolini, Italy

Property M3622

Set in a dramatic position at the edge of a medieval hamlet once cited by Dante in the Divina Commedia, this historic villa offers striking views over the sandstone cliffs of the Valdarno and the surrounding Tuscan countryside.

Dating to the 17th century and built on the foundation walls of a 13th-century castle, the villa has been carefully restored with a focus on authenticity. Period details such as handmade terracotta floors, original fireplaces, frescoed ceilings, and exposed wooden beams have been thoughtfully preserved, reflecting the building’s long architectural history.

The villa extends across three floors. The ground level, originally the service area, features a spacious kitchen with pantry, a generous living room with fireplace, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms.
The piano nobile reached by a grand double staircase outside and a second stairway inside, offers a sequence of elegant, light-filled rooms: a frescoed salon, another living room with an original fireplace and decorated ceilings, a study, additional bedrooms and bathrooms, and a kitchen with adjoining dining area that opens directly onto a panoramic terrace—perfect for long evenings and sunset views.
The upper floor offers six bedrooms and three bathrooms, ideal for hosting family or guests.

Below the villa, a basement room hints at its medieval origins and may have once been the dungeon of the old castle. A private 17th-century chapel stands just across from the main house—an architectural detail typical of noble estates from the period.

Outside, the garden extends over 1.3 ha, with open green spaces, mature plantings, a swimming pool with sun terrace and barbecue area, and a traditional limonaia.

Located in the Valdarno region, near Terranuova Bracciolini, the property combines the beauty of a dramatic landscape with the practicality of nearby towns, local markets, and good connections to both Florence and Arezzo—offering an authentic experience of Tuscany without the crowds.
