Description
Living like in fairy tales just outside the city of Florence, immersed in nature, in a place that envelops you in 'mystical atmosphere near Vallombrosa Abbey.
We sell Villa Castello designed by the great architect Corinto Corinti for the Counts Resse in perfect neo-Gothic style. The castle is a building made of square stone blocks, surrounded by a large beautiful park with a natural spring of water. The property is to be considered a total work of art in both its structural and monumental parts.
The castle covers an area of 4,000 square meters on several levels, in a surrounding park of 4 hectares with various driveways from the surrounding roads.
No major renovation work is needed, having already been carried out by the current owner. The property could also be used as an accommodation facility - hotel. There are 15 bathrooms with corresponding rooms.
The presence on the ground floor of wonderful halls would also allow the realization of events.
There is an approved project for the implementation of a photovoltaic system. Architectural details make it a one-of-a-kind object, such as the stone capitals, designed by Corinthus Corinti himself, and the particular floors that seem to come from Belgian manufactures.
Work began in 1881 and continued at least until 1889. Vallombrosa at the time had no tourist facilities, but it was already a destination for elite and cosmopolitan tourism because of the quality of the place, its history, its waters and its spirituality. So it was that, on the edge of the state-owned area and thus as close as possible to Vallombrosa Abbey, the Counts Resse purchased land to build this splendid building.
