A Period Residence in Gilded Age Style with Panoramic Views over the Valdarno Hills
Villa Donati offers a rare combination of historical charm and contemporary comfort, perched to enjoy sweeping vistas of the Valdarno hills and the horizon of Tuscan sunsets. Here, the elegance of a bygone era meets modern living, just five minutes from Loro Ciuffenna - one of Italy’s Most Beautiful Villages - and under an hour from Florence.

Description
The interiors combine Italian classicism with a contemporary edge: high ceilings, abundant natural light, and period details alongside modern functionality. The principal suites connect seamlessly with the formal living and entertainment areas, while the tower spa offers a view that calls for a toast to the setting sun. On the lower levels, the technical areas and lemon house present a blank canvas, allowing for bespoke customisation (assistance with design and specifications is available prior to completion).
Outside, the villa is embraced by a refined park, offering outdoor living, panoramic hilltop views, and privacy without isolation. The hillside olive grove preserves the ritual of harvesting, adding both charm and purpose to the estate.
Intended Uses
- Private representative residence: for those seeking space and an address with character.
- Boutique hospitality: ideal for a small luxury villa or guest house, given the combination of suites, amenities, and service areas.
