Description

Nestled in one of Florence’s most exclusive and sought-after settings, on the hills of Poggio Imperiale, Villa Buontalenti represents a rare combination of historic charm, privacy, and contemporary comfort. Just minutes from the historic city centre, yet sheltered by the tranquillity of the surrounding greenery, this extraordinary residence offers a truly unique living experience.
The property, an independent portion of approximately 460 sqm within a prestigious Renaissance villa, is surrounded by a magnificent private garden of around 2,500 sqm — a peaceful oasis enhanced by scenic pathways, flowering plants, aromatic herbs, decorative statues, and a splendid original fountain attributed to Buontalenti, recently restored with exceptional care by the current owners.
The park also features an elegant swimming pool area with a relaxation zone, perfect for enjoying convivial moments during the summer months. Access to the property is through an automatic gate leading to a refined courtyard with parking spaces and electric vehicle charging stations.
Recently the subject of a sophisticated renovation, Villa Buontalenti has been transformed into a contemporary residence of exceptional charm, where the historic character of the architecture harmoniously blends with fine materials, the highest quality finishes, bespoke furnishings, and a curated selection of contemporary artworks.
The interiors retain all the allure of the historic residence, with vaulted ceilings, parquet floors, and spacious, light-filled rooms. The main floor features an elegant living area comprising an entrance hall with fireplace, a refined salon with direct access to the garden and pool, a dining room, and a fully equipped kitchen with pantry, connected to the enchanting external loggia with barbecue area and bar — ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining.
The villa’s ancient cellars, characterised by original exposed brick vaults, have been expertly restored and now house a private gym, a guest bedroom, and a bathroom.
The sleeping quarters are arranged on the upper floors and include four bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom. The master suite stands out as an exclusive retreat, featuring a spacious walk-in wardrobe, a refined en-suite bathroom, and stunning views over the garden and the Florentine hills. An elegant sitting room with fireplace connects the spaces, creating an intimate and sophisticated atmosphere.
The property is also equipped with an internal lift connecting the ground floor to the upper level.
Villa Buontalenti is a turnkey residence, ideal for those wishing to experience Florence from one of its most prestigious locations, combining the privilege of a historic home with the comfort and style of an exceptional contemporary residence.
