Villa “I Cancelli”: Charming Historic Residence in the Hills of Florence
Nestled in the heart of the verdant Florentine hills, where tradition meets prestige, stands Villa “I Cancelli”—a majestic historic residence in Florence. Set within a unique landscape and ideally connected to the city’s key areas, this villa represents a rare opportunity in the luxury real estate market. It is perfect for those seeking to invest in an exclusive residential project or to develop one of Tuscany’s most captivating luxury properties.
Villa “I Cancelli” is distinguished by its understated yet noble architecture, arranged over three levels. The lower ground floor features spacious kitchens and service areas, ideal for the modern and functional management of the estate. The ground floor hosts the grand reception rooms—generous, light-filled spaces perfect for private events, exhibitions, or conversion into high-end communal areas.
The first floor and mezzanine offer versatile, reconfigurable spaces, envisioned as luxury residential units with a contemporary aesthetic while preserving the building’s historical charm. The renovation project plans for the division into five exclusive apartments: two on the ground floor, each with direct access and generous interiors, and three on the upper level, customizable in both finishes and layout.
The property is also available for purchase in its current condition, offering buyers the opportunity to tailor the restoration according to their personal vision. This option allows for a more affordable investment, ideal for those who prefer to oversee the villa’s restoration and enhancement themselves.
Original architectural features lend the property authentic charm and character: exposed wooden beams, a pavilion-style roof with traditional terracotta tiles, and robust stone and brick masonry that tell the story of centuries past. The façades, finished with traditional plaster and wooden shutters, embody the classic Tuscan style.
A particularly distinctive feature is the private chapel, located on the eastern side of the main building. This intimate and sacred space boasts a stunning frescoed dome and awaits a conservation project to restore it to its original splendor, reestablishing it as an artistic jewel within the estate.
One of the villa’s most breathtaking elements is the belvedere terrace—an elegant vantage point overlooking the lush Italian-style gardens that surround the residence. This space was designed for contemplation and relaxation, offering panoramic views of the Tuscan landscape and timeless, serene atmospheres throughout the seasons.
