Description
At the end of the 19th century, the villa was purchased by the Florentine painter Michele Gordigiani who transformed it into what we see today: a magnificent and imposing double-tower structure, embellished with squares, terraces and loggias, one of which was frescoed in the vault by Galileo Chini, a well-known artist, painter and ceramist from Mugello.
This splendid historic residence is immersed in the greenery of the Apennines, enjoys a breathtaking view and is equipped with a large and well-kept English park with majestic centuries-old trees, some of which are rare species. From the large Piazzale Belvedere the view stretches to the shores of the large Bilancino lake. In the historic park, shady paths and noble stairways lead to caves and fountains, following intimate and romantic paths that allow you to rediscover the charm and tranquility of a life from times gone by.
The main body of the villa, approximately 1,800m2, is currently used for high-end events and is divided into 4 levels. The main floor of the villa consists of a series of 8 large rooms and halls with high ceilings and accompanied by splendid terraces and loggias. 5 guest bathrooms and a couple of bedrooms. On the second floor we find 10 large bedrooms with 7 bathrooms and 2 living rooms. On the third floor there are 10 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms; while on the ground floor and basement there are 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and large utility rooms such as kitchen, vat room, cellars, woodshed, garage and storage rooms. The park and the splendid orangerie (whose architecture immediately reveals the influence of Buontalenti in Del Moro's art), of approximately 150m2, offer other convivial spaces.
The panoramic position and the conformation and subdivision of the rooms allow the villa to be easily transformed into a luxury boutique hotel or vice versa to become a splendid private residence for those who wish to experience the charm of a historic residence that has preserved unchanged the characteristic elements typical of the large hillside villas of Mugello.
