A historic villa estate in the hills of Mugello, with views extending to Lake Bilancino. First documented in the 13th century as a pair of fortified towers, the property was reimagined in the late 19th century by Florentine painter Michele Gordigiani, who shaped the characteristic double-tower silhouette that defines the building today.
Architecture and Interiors
The villa comprises approximately 1,800 m² arranged over four levels. The piano nobile contains eight reception rooms with high ceilings, terraces, loggias, guest bathrooms and two bedrooms. The second floor has ten bedrooms, seven bathrooms and two salons. The third floor provides a further ten bedrooms with three bathrooms. Ground and semi-basement levels include two bedrooms, one bathroom, and service areas: kitchen, storerooms, wine cellars, wood storage, garage and ancillary spaces.
One of the loggias features a vaulted fresco attributed to Galileo Chini, the Mugello-born painter and ceramist known for his Art Nouveau work.
Grounds
The estate is set within an English-style park with mature trees, including rare species. The grounds include pathways, staircases, grottoes and fountains. A limonaia (lemon house) of approximately 150 m² stands separate from the main villa, showing architectural influence from the Buontalenti-Del Moro tradition.
Current Use
This Tuscany estate currently operates as an event venue. The volume, layout and infrastructure allow for continued hospitality use or conversion to private residence.
