15th-Century Villa in Florence’s Most Sought-After Enclave Asks €12.5M
In the hills of Marignolle—where the views feel more like a Renaissance fresco than real life—a 15th-century Florentine villa has quietly emerged from a meticulous, no-expense-spared restoration. It’s now being offered turnkey, fully furnished, and undeniably rare—just 20 minutes on foot from the Duomo.
Dating to 1450, the 10,225 sq ft (950 sqm) estate sits ten minutes from Florence’s historic center by car, in one of the city’s most discreet and prestigious enclaves. The restoration was so extensive, it became the subject of its own book. Think: original stonework preserved, air conditioning seamlessly integrated, and a moody indoor pool with a cinema screen carved into the lower level.
Spread across three levels, the villa includes nine bedrooms and nine bathrooms, layered with custom furnishings, antiques, curated art, and linens that feel closer to couture than homewares. French glassware. Ginori porcelain. Leather lounge chairs in the wine cellar. Nothing was done halfway—and nothing needs to be added. Every accessory, every thread, every light fixture stays.
The 1.3-acre (5,500 sqm) garden is a private park—lush but structured, with Buxus hedges, rose beds, and an outdoor swimming pool positioned for maximum privacy and valley views. A secondary kitchen and shaded dining areas make it ideal for entertaining through the Tuscan golden hour. Indoors, a vaulted tasting room and additional catering kitchen add dimension—and discretion.
And yes, there’s an indoor pool too: dark, dramatic, and equipped with a counter-current system and cinema screen, tucked into the villa’s lower level like a private spa-meets-screening room.
It’s the kind of place where no one’s watching, but everything's been considered. A trophy for those who know. A home for those who don’t need convincing.
