Description
HISTORICAL VILLA IN ROSANO (Florence)
In a quiet but not isolated area with panoramic views of the Florentine hills stands this elegant villa, a former hunting lodge commissioned by Cosimo I dei Medici, as evidenced by the original coat of arms on the fireplace in the dining room. This coat of arms features eight balls and is the oldest coat of arms of the Medici family and of great historical and artistic value. Subsequently it was the summer residence of important Macchiaioli painters such as Silvestro Lega and Telemaco Signorini who had their personal rooms with private bathroom. The property is free on three sides and can be accessed both from an independent entrance which leads to the front facade of the villa passing through the Italian garden, and from a secondary entrance, also independent, which reaches the rear side of the villa . The villa is on two levels. On the ground floor we find the entrance to the living room with an ancient fireplace, a dining room combined with the ancient chapel with a tabernacle and fireplace with the Medici coat of arms, the kitchen with a large fireplace and serving hatch for the "Lords' room". More modern kitchen, toilets and ancient well. From here you can access the royal cellars. The floors are in terracotta and the prestigious ceilings are wooden coffered, according to the Florentine tradition. The second floor is accessed both via a beautiful stone staircase that leads to the four bedrooms, and via another staircase that takes us to a portion of the property of approximately 70 m2 left unfinished with the possibility of creating a unit independent real estate and being able to exploit a large attic space. In the garden behind the villa there is a 70 m2 annex to be renovated, free on four sides, on two levels comprising a living room, kitchen and bedroom. Outside there is a large brazier and a further garden ideal for building a swimming pool. In the garden there are water features much appreciated by the De Medici family to play pranks on their guests.
