Elegant Representative Residence in a Villa near Florence | This prestigious property is part of an ancient Renaissance-style estate, once an important farmhouse, later renovated and divided into separate units in the early 2000s. Located in an elegant and peaceful setting, yet in a strategic position to reach Florence in less than fifteen minutes by car. The portion for sale has an area of approximately 263 sqm, with a unique layout which allows for versatile use, thanks also to the presence of two independent entrances. The first entrance on the ground floor opens into a comfortable sitting room with a balcony and a beautiful bookcase, which was originally the farmhouse chapel. The stunning original frescoed beams, perfectly preserved, the antique terracotta flooring, and the pietra serena stone details in the former sacristy (now used as a storage room) all convey the historical value of this property. Comfortable stairs lead to the first floor, which can also be accessed through a second entrance opening onto the communal courtyard. This level houses the heart of the house: an elegant and bright living and dining area with a separate kitchenette, a beautiful marble fireplace, and a pleasant view over the courtyard and surrounding greenery. Also on this floor are a guest bathroom, a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a wardrobe, and a practical attic storage space. From the hallway, a staircase leads to the tower, where original wooden beams are beautifully exposed, and large windows offer stunning views of the Florentine countryside. The tower serves as a master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a mezzanine level, making full use of the impressive ceiling height. The property also includes three parking spaces, a large cellar on the ground floor accessible from the farmyard, and a separate plot of agricultural land located about 100 metres from the house and equipped with a water tank for irrigation, and features olive trees, aromatic herbs, and fruit trees. The property is in excellent condition and is ideal for those seeking a prestigious residence in a rural setting, peaceful yet not isolated thanks to its proximity to local amenities.

Casa Concetta - Custonaci Two separate holiday homes with a shared driveway and outdoor spaces, Casa Concetta is a great opportunity to run a small tourist business in Sicily or even to move here full time and welcome all the guests you like. Only twenty minutes from the world-famous beach of San Vito Lo Capo it will certainly never be a hard sell to visitors! Classic sicilian architecture in a beautiful natural setting The house is a long low building with straight lines, topped by an almost flat roof in traditional Sicilian curved tiles. Seen from any angle it fits perfectly against the tall rocky hillsides to either side of it. The rusticated plaster walls are painted a warm sandy yellow, and a subtle accent of exposed stone echoes the low walls that border the garden and pathways. Occasional majolica tiles add a decorative touch: this is a quintessentially Sicilian house, one you just couldn't find in the north of Italy. A veranda at the front of the first apartment and one at the side of the second offer shade and space to relax or eat al-fresco. There's a built-in stone oven, a storeroom and even an outdoor shower. Guests will be certainly appreciate the off-street parking for two or more vehicles. Sleeps eight in comfort The two apartments are different shapes and were built at different times, but similar in size and the distribution of spaces. The only major difference is that while the upper of the two has a double and a twin bedroom, the first flat has a double plus two singles. One of the singles, at a push, could become a twin. Each one, except the smallest room in the lower apartment, has its own air conditioning unit. Each then has a roomy living space that includes a fitted kitchenette, a dining area and space to relax with a sofa. The bathrooms both have showers and the kitchens have washing machines. The upper apartment is fitted and furnished in slightly more comfort, with modern insulating windows, a newer kitchen and more decorative touches. The lower one is, however, the bigger of the two. A perfect location for a sunny escape As we mentioned before, the Caribbean-style seafront of San Vito Lo Capo is just a few kilometres up the road, but the beach options certainly don't end there. Cornino is only ten minutes away and while popular with locals is largely overlooked by tourists, and the same could be said of Macari, fifteen minutes in the other direction. Scopello, on the other side of the headland, is a charming little fishing village, while Castellammare del Golfo is a bigger seaside town. North of Scopello is the nature reserve of Lo Zingaro, a magical wild spot that can only be explored on foot or by boat. Further south, a short ferry from the nearby city of Trapani, are the stunning Egadi islands. Nor is this only a beach location. The historic hilltop town of Erice, the salt pans of Trapani and the vineyards of Marsala are all in easy reach. For a full description of the property please visit our website Want to know more?
