Marinella Coppi Italian Real Estate

TUSCANY Hills of Florence in a panoramic position, villa with Renaissance style, restored around 1920.

Located a few kilometers from Florence, in a hilly and panoramic position, the Renaissance-style Villa was built around 1920 on an older building, designed by the Florentine architect Enrico Dante Fantappiè. Belonging to the family of the famous philosopher Giovanni Papini, it is easily reached by traveling about 5 km of the municipal road to Pelago. A 600-meter long cypress avenue leads to the entrance of the property.

Immersed in a romantic Italian park (2ha), the villa is surrounded by tall trees and entirely fenced, with a modern irrigation system powered by a water tank. The property extends over an estate of 23 hectares, of which 3 are cultivated with olive trees with about 300 plants, producing a fine oil, 4 hectares of arable land and the remaining land in woodland intended for the production of firewood.
Outside the fenced part there are two large parking lots.

The property is accessible through three gates: the main one, located to the east, is electric, with two pedestrian entrances; the second gate, to the north; and the third, to the south, leads to the olive groves and the countryside. In the center of the park, there is a rustic house with a wood-burning oven and a stone square, ideal for outdoor lunches and parties.
At the back of the villa, there is a paved area, perfect for outdoor breakfasts which is accessed from the service exit of the kitchen; while next to it is the above-ground swimming pool.
A small terrace, embellished with a balustrade and the statue of Diana the Huntress, offers a perfect setting for musical evenings.
