Enter the golden age at this Art Nouveau-style villa. Dating back to the 1900s, it’s grand yet homely, filled with Italian ceramics by the renowned Chini family and shuttered windows framing picture-perfect views. Outside, a private pool sits within manicured gardens – the perfect spot for sunbathing, alfresco dining, or even hosting a small celebration or wedding. Surrounded by fields, you’ll feel a world away, yet the town of Scarperia is just 2 kilometres away and Florence only 35 kilometres. A serene retreat in the heart of the Mugello valley.
