Historic villa immersed in the Tuscan countryside: a timeless charm between past and history
In the heart of the Tuscan countryside, where history and nature blend harmoniously, stands Villa di Groppoli, an imposing residence built in the second half of the 19th century, with probable Lombard origins. Perched on a natural terrace, the villa offers breathtaking views over the valley below and the ridges of the surrounding hills, with the picturesque village of Vinacciano serving as a scenic backdrop. The serenity of the Pistoian countryside and the 19th-century architecture of the villa create a unique atmosphere of peace and timeless beauty.
Surrounded by oak and pine woods, the villa enjoys enchanting views across the Tuscan landscape. Higher up, amid vineyards and olive groves, rises the small bell tower of San Michele, an authentic symbol of the region. Rich in both historical and natural heritage, Groppoli is considered one of the most charming locations in the Pistoia countryside.
The villa’s dual façade frames the central salon, linking the two entrances and creating a striking visual impact of elegance. The ground floor features spacious kitchens, refined sitting rooms, and formal dining areas that tell the story of a noble residence. On the upper level, six bright and airy bedrooms offer both comfort and tranquility. The semi-basement houses a variety of utility rooms, storage spaces, and cellars, allowing for versatile use.
The property also includes a farmhouse of approximately 270 sqm, divided into two residential units—one of 200 sqm and the other of 80 sqm—as well as annexes of about 120 sqm, usable as storage or outbuildings. Additionally, there is a ruin of about 200 sqm requiring restoration, accompanied by 1,300 sqm of adjoining land, offering a unique opportunity to personalize and expand this historic estate.
The villa is arranged over two above-ground floors: the ground level hosts the double entrance, kitchens, sitting areas, and service rooms, while the first floor accommodates six double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The semi-basement includes multipurpose rooms and technical areas. The farmhouse is divided into two residential units and annex spaces, while the ruin is complemented by generous grounds.
The Groppoli garden, a true oasis of tranquility, is enriched with majestic trees and verdant corners offering uniquely picturesque views—ideal for meditation and quiet retreat. At the heart of the garden lies a stone basin, adding a magical touch to the landscape. The property is surrounded by 14,000 sqm of land, providing a private haven immersed in nature.
