Description

In the heart of the ancient city of Volterra, one of Tuscany's most charming town centres, this extraordinary 17th-century noble palace is for sale. The estate covers over 1,000 sqm and retains all the architectural prestige of the great aristocratic residences. Arranged over three main levels, the palace is embellished with an internal courtyard with a well, a planted roof garden, numerous terraces, large cellars, big vaulted warehouses and a typical restaurant, now perfectly integrated into the architectural body of the building. Each element contributes to restoring an authentic and vivid image of local history.
This prestigious 17th-century noble palace has undergone several extensions over the centuries, including the incorporation of ancient alleys and the extension towards the Castello district. The elegant and sober façade features a stone door surmounted by the family crest and stone decorations that neatly adorn the windows on the main floors, in perfect 17th-century style.
The interiors feature an extraordinary stratification of decorations spanning several eras: from the neoclassical frescoes by Niccolò Contestabili, including the famous Sala Impero and the alcove, to the 19th-century work by Lodovico Gamberucci in the green sitting room and the red bedroom, to the early 20th-century Art Nouveau decorations by Mario Caluri. The marble-effect painted terracotta floors, historic fireplaces, painted wood panelling, frescoed libraries and attention to detail tell a long story of taste and prestige.
The layout of the spaces is complex and fascinating. On the ground floor, in addition to the monumental entrance, there is a room that was once used as a granary, rooms historically used for wine production, and a typical restaurant, perfectly integrated into the complex, along with spacious, vaulted warehouses. The internal courtyard with a well is the oldest and most intimate heart of the residence. On a lower level are the historical cellars, which retain their original atmosphere and offer extraordinary potential for cultural or hospitality functions.

About Lionard Luxury Real Estate spa, Lionard Spa - Firenze

Via Tornabuoni n 1 50123 Firenze

Working within the national and international property market, Lionard Luxury Real Estate was created solely to specialise in the Italian luxury real estate segment. The company has created important partnerships, professional synergies and relationships focused on identifying Clients and Investors coming from consolidated economies and emerging markets. From this premise, the first steps towards the development of an operational model were taken which lead us to accept every year properties with specific historic and artistic characteristics, architectonic heritage or geographical significance.

The careful selection of properties carried out by professionals at Lionard Luxury Real Estate is finalised towards the most proficient placement of properties within the selected target audience. For this reason the company invests heavily in professional photo shoots, marketing campaigns and integrated communication strategies in order to optimise requests and proposals from the reference market. The decision to internalise within the company all such initiatives and professional resources usually managed by outsourcing allows us to guarantee a series of services of additional value. These include geo-marketing studies, environmental and historic research, analysis of the potential or risk related to properties, studies related to structural development of real estate and of short term profitability of investments. The practicality of Lionard Luxury Real Estate is based on unconditional principles and objectivity which offers our Clients peace of mind and absolute certainty. Professionalism and efficiency are the basis of the work ethic of both directors and staff at Lionard, developed in total transparency and integrated into Client management while guaranteeing absolute privacy and discretion.

With the aim of opening new commercial relationships and consolidating a network of relationships with clients and foreign partners, Lionard Luxury Real Estate is making a series of public engagements during which our representatives will be present in some of the main european and international financial hubs. The meetings will take place exclusively by appointment, and we invite anybody interested in participating to contact us with reasonable advance warning at our email address info@lionard.com or by calling our offices to request an appointment.

Lionard is also frequently present in some of the main european cities including Montecarlo, Zurich, Geneva, Paris and London, cities for which it is possible to request an appointment independently of our tour program.
