Firenze, Florence, Tuscany, Italy

On the prestigious hills of Florence, in Via dell'Osservatorio, just a few minutes from the famous Medici Villas - UNESCO World Heritage Sites - and the magnificent Villa Petraia, we present this historic early 20th-century villa.

The property is set in a green and quiet environment, easily accessible from the center of Florence and close to major road connections, while still offering the privacy typical of the Tuscan countryside.

Once the residence of a renowned family of Florentine painters - with works displayed at the Uffizi - the villa retains its authentic charm and a deep connection to the local artistic tradition.

Surrounded by about one hectare (2.5 acres) of private land with productive century-old olive trees and fruit plants, the villa is divided into two independent living units, ideal for hosting guests or for multi-family use.

Apartment "Il Manfredi" - Ground Floor

The independent entrance opens into a bright kitchen-dining room, perfect for convivial moments and everyday living.
A cozy living room overlooking the garden creates an intimate and functional atmosphere.
The sleeping area includes a double bedroom and a windowed bathroom.
An ideal unit as a guesthouse, secondary home, or charming rental.
