Description
Located in a charming city of art in the district of Pistoia, this famous aristocratic residence, built around 1750, is for sale. It has remained intact in its ancient splendour and still offers the emotions of a bygone era. In the mid-1960s, the villa underwent a major conservative restoration, with total respect of its architectural and decorative values, and was then enriched with refined vintage furniture.
An impressive cypress-lined avenue, as a solemn green corridor, will lead you through an enchanting panorama to the gates of this magnificent villa, set amidst more than three hectares of rows of vineyards, olive groves and a lush forest.
This historic residence is a witness to the architecture and art of the time, where history and luxury come together in a unique and fascinating setting, with details that will enchant beauty and elegance lovers. The luxury and refinement of the details do not allow comfort and convenience to be neglected. Indeed, rooms are extremely cosy and very bright, with suggestive views of the surrounding greenery and nature.
With a surface area of 1,500 sqm for a total of 25 rooms plus services and hallways, this residence is developed on three levels, two noble floors and a mezzanine, which enclose a world of timeless elegance. The communicating halls, typical of the 18th-century style, offer a triumph of refinement: imposing chandeliers descending from the frescoed ceilings illuminate rooms that have seen the passing of eras without ever losing their magnificence. The frescoes tell sacred stories and local legends, with colours that still seem as vibrant as the day they were painted. In a private wing of the villa is a small chapel, a hidden jewel, that infuses a sense of peace and spirituality.
The basement hosts the kitchens and cellar and is characterised by its vaulted brick ceilings and ancient barrels, which tell the story of the passion for wine that has crossed generations.
Inside the prestigious property, surrounded by greenery and perfectly integrated into the landscape, is a characteristic restored farmhouse. This building, originally used for agricultural and support functions, today maintains its rustic charm, serving as a useful complementary structure to the main villa, offering additional space for guests, staff or additional activities.
