This luxurious 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom property is located in one of the most exclusive areas of Florence, in the hills between Piazzale Michelangelo and Forte Belvedere.
It feels like you’re living in the countryside (with birds singing) but is within a 5 minute walk of the bars and restaurants of San Niccolo and within a 15 minute walk of Ponte Vecchio.
The triple aspect living area has French doors that open out onto a large, elegant terrace with an al fresco dining area providing breath-taking panoramic views, encompassing the historic City Center, in particular Palazzo Vecchio and the Duomo, as well as the surrounding hills with terraced olive groves. The terrace is protected from the elements by motorized sun-shades allowing it to be used year round.
From the terrace you access the perfectly kept 500 sqm (5400 sqf) garden with fruit trees, flowers and berry bushes. From spring to autumn you can witness the plants blossoming and have the possibility of eating the organic fruits directly from the plants. Right in the middle of this paradise there is a unique salt-water pool, with sunbeds and a solar-heated shower, from which you can savour the breathtaking views!
The living room, with its 4 huge windows overlooking the most beautiful parts of Florence, gives you the feeling of being able to reach out and touch the historical monuments. Internally it is warm and cozy, exceptionally decorated with gallery pieces including the high-end designer turntable mounted on the wall and important lithographs.
