Villa Aurora, a historic listed residence nestled in the green Florentine hills Just a few kilometers from Florence's historic center, immersed in a park of approximately 4 hectares, Villa Aurora is a charming residence, protected for its historical and artistic value and nestled in one of the most evocative settings of the Florentine hills. The villa, renovated in the 1990s, retains the authentic atmosphere of a historic stately home. The large loggia overlooking the garden, the monumental rooms, the Renaissance fireplaces, the antique furnishings, and the precious library contribute to creating a rare, elegant atmosphere deeply rooted in the city's history. The property was also mentioned by Antonio Paolucci in a monograph on Florentine historic gardens. The park boasts centuries-old trees and captivating views, in a secluded setting yet close to the heart of Florence. According to tradition, some of the trees were planted in the 15th century by Leonardo da Vinci. The property offered for sale unfolds as a spacious internal quadrilateral, with rooms arranged around a central hub. The rooms are furnished in antique style and enriched with furniture, sculptures, and paintings dating from the 14th to 17th centuries. The large halls, the dining area, the balcony library, the bedrooms, and the service areas convey a home designed to welcome, represent, and experience beauty in every detail. Particularly evocative is the Giambologna-style grotto, accessible from the dining room via a small passageway, featuring a fountain depicting Venus. Outside, the loggia opens onto the hanging garden, adorned with an ancient fountain and a scenic view of the Florentine monuments and the hill of San Miniato al Monte. The property features a private garden, access to the shared park, multiple parking spaces, two entrance gates, and an internal elevator. A unique residence, steeped in history, art, and elegance, ideal for those seeking an exclusive and unique perspective on Florence.
