Built at the very beginning of the 15th century by the Fortini family, the Villa lies in a pocket of Florentine countryside that historically provided wealthy families with quiet and fresh air, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. In 1420, it passed onto the Bardi family, then to Giovanni della Stufa and eventually to the renowned artist Benvenuto Cellini in 1548.

The Villa is situated at the end of an unpaved private road, cutting through olive groves and scenic Tuscan countryside.

The Villa of 620 sqm features 3 floors, a generous basement (the old Cantine) and a 40 sqm garage and it is surrounded by an Italian Garden of 800 sqm. The entire property is fenced off, enveloped by secular olive groves and with a stunning view over Fiesole.

On the ground floor, through the main entrance, we find the living area with a fireplace, as well as three rooms and a bathroom. A beautiful staircase in serene stone leads you to the first floor, to a bright room with three windows and a small wrought-iron balcony. The floor features three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Going up the second staircase, we find the second floor, that was previously used as an attic, featuring exposed wooden beams. Through a further, smaller, staircase, one can access the “Torretta”, a small tower on top of the Villa with a gorgeous view over the hills.
