Villa Torrione Rosso

Nestled in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, this 19th-century villa boasts an imposing tower, a sprawling garden with a swimming pool, and a lush olive grove spanning 2.5 hectares.

As you journey southward up the Arno Valley, you’re embraced by the cool woods that encircle Florence. A quaint road winds its way up the hills, flanked by the verdant olive trees and prestigious properties that define this region. Florence, with its grand palaces, world-renowned museums, vibrant art scene, and bustling shops, is a mere 20-minute drive away. The villa’s splendid location guarantees tranquility, silence, and privacy.

Dating back to the 1800s, Villa Torrione Rosso features an imposing tower added in 1900. Upon entering, you’re greeted by a corridor leading to a sun-drenched living room, complete with an elegant stone fireplace and a dining room. The adjacent kitchen, equipped with an ancient wood-fired oven and a fireplace, is framed by a magnificent hood. A stone archway leads to the tower, which houses a guest bedroom with an ensuite bathroom.

The first floor of the main building is home to the sleeping quarters, featuring three double bedrooms, two full bathrooms with separate bathtub and shower, and a charming study/library room. The tower’s first and second floors host two additional rooms, currently used as studies. Ascending to the tower’s top floor reveals a covered terrace, offering breathtaking views of the valley and the rolling hills beyond.

The garden unfolds over three levels: a terraced area accessible from the living room and kitchen, featuring a charming gazebo and a wooden sauna; a lawn area leading to the ancient cellars, now repurposed as a gym, and an outbuilding with a bedroom, bathroom, and a combined living room/kitchen; and a lower level graced with a stunning infinity pool. The property is rounded off with two and a half hectares of olive grove.

Villa Torrione Rosso is bathed in natural light, with each room showcasing refined details such as stone floors, exposed wooden beams, the pietra serena of the stairs and fireplaces, and the wrought iron designs of the fixtures. Modern comforts and security are ensured by an alarm system, a private well, and solar panels. Villa Torrione Rosso also benefits from independent heating. This Tuscan gem truly marries the charm of yesteryears with today’s conveniences.
