Set high on Florence’s most picturesque hill, just minutes from Fiesole, this castle for sale in Tuscany boasts nearly a thousand years of history and embodies an unparalleled fairy-tale charm. Its neo-Gothic architecture, framed by olive trees, vineyards and Italian gardens, with its 3,665 sqm of interior space, the property extends over a private park of 14 hectares, including 6.3 hectares of IGT vineyards – capable of producing up to 26,000 bottles per year – and a 4.2-hectare olive grove that confirms its vocation for excellence in production. Inside, the castle houses heraldic coats of arms, 14th-century frescoes from a Florentine chapel and reception rooms that have welcomed nobility and celebrities, including Queen Victoria in 1893. The castle is built around a large paved central courtyard, the architectural heart of the estate. On the ground floor, there are five halls with cross vaults, marble floors and original wooden details. The property includes a group of historic buildings of great value. Among these is a 65-sqm residential tower, spread over four floors, next to the castle stands a 315-sqm farmhouse, next is a second farmhouse of 505 sqm spread over three floors, there is a 50-sqm lemon house, and the old 250-sqm foundry.
I had to share another castello in Italy though with an undisclosed price which is not surprising given how absolutely spectacular this is. HOW IS THIS REAL?! I don’t know that I could stand living among such beauty. For sale via Lionard.
