Historic Villa South of Florence with Parkland and Spa - 10 acres

Villa Murtas is a historic estate set in the rolling Tuscan hills, just 20 minutes south of Florence. From the moment you arrive via the cypress-lined driveway - reminiscent of scenes from Renaissance paintings - the atmosphere is one of rare presence and depth. 

Dating back to the 13th century, the villa underwent a careful and respectful restoration in 2015. Across six levels - conveniently accessible by elevator - the architecture weaves together historical continuity with modern-day functionality. 

The main residence includes 22 guest rooms, each with en-suite bathroom, as well as three staff quarters. The former banquet hall now serves as a dining space with an adjoining panoramic terrace, accommodating up to 150 guests. A separate wing is currently being developed into a contemporary wellness complex featuring a hammam, sauna, salt cave, four treatment rooms, an indoor pool with hydromassage, and dedicated areas for changing and relaxation. 

Additional rooms for events and music are available throughout the villa. Outdoors, approximately 300 square meters of terraces are framed by two traditional limonaie, a formal Italian garden, a landscaped park and a swimming pool. The estate is surrounded by roughly 4 hectares / ten acres of land, including its own olive grove.

The renovation preserved key architectural features such as exposed wooden beams and original terracotta floors. Premium fixtures, handcrafted ceramics and discreetly integrated technology - including individually controlled heating and cooling, Wi-Fi, satellite connection and audio systems - ensure comfort without compromising the integrity of the setting. Modern utilities, a new gas infrastructure and energy-efficient thermal systems complete the technical foundation of the property.

Villa Murtas is a cultural landmark in the Tuscan countryside - an estate that retains its historic dignity while welcoming diverse uses, whether as a private retreat, a cultural venue or a refined setting for events.
