โ๏ธ Description from the real estate agent
In the hills of Tuscany, just outside a village and less than half an hour from Florence, stands a historical villa converted into a boutique hotel with swimming pool and wellness center. The property, fully renovated in 2015, measures 2,230 mยฒ and offers 22 elegant guest bedrooms, a restaurant with outdoor dining areas, and beautifully decorated halls for events and ceremonies. The 3.8 hectares of land feature an Italian garden, a pool with solarium, a car park, and an extensive olive grove.
Inside, the villa spans five levels connected by an elevator in period style. The ground floor houses the reception, bar, professional kitchen, three large restaurant halls (capacity 90 guests), and a multipurpose conference and ceremony hall (capacity 60 guests). The three upper floors host the 22 guest bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms, as well as three staff bedrooms. The basement includes service areas, a historic 14th-century wine cellar, storages, and a large wellness center nearing completion, with planned spa, hammam, sauna, salt grotto, hydronic treatment room, massage cabins, and indoor pool.
The villaโs rich history dates back to the Del Rosso family, later passing to the Libri family until 2012. Its 18th-century elegance has been preserved, with original terracotta floors, wooden beams, frescoes, pietra serena fireplaces, and carefully restored interiors. Modern upgrades include air-conditioning in each room, eco-friendly water-saving devices, a fire alarm system, seismic reinforcement, and a 140 kW electrical system ready for photovoltaic integration.
The exteriors are equally impressive, with landscaped gardens on two terraces featuring lawns, gravel paths, fountains, Lebanon cedars, cypresses, and a 14 ร 5 m swimming pool with stone solarium. The chapel adjacent to the complex, while not owned, can be used for private ceremonies until 2112.
This boutique hotel combines timeless Tuscan elegance with modern comforts, offering both a turnkey hospitality business and an exceptional investment in one of Italyโs most desirable regions.
