This property is on the market for €12,000,000, listed with Italy Sotheby’s Realty.

Villa Braggiotti dates back to the 1300s, built for the Davanzati family, a noble family of successful merchants from Florence.

Nestled in the hills above Florence, the villa is one of the most spectacular Florentine mansions in the area.

In the 20th century, the villa belonged to the Braggiotis, a family of 2 opera singers with 8 children who dedicated the property to the music and arts, first as an intellectual salon hosting Futurist luminaries, and then later as a dance school, hosting classes in the incredible vaulted gallery, illuminated with a Liberty-style skylight.

With its classic proportions, the grand Tuscan villa is one of the finest examples of its style, with an abundance of grand reception rooms featuring beamed and coffered ceilings, and magnificent fireplaces.

There are 12 ensuite bedrooms, in need of restoration, and a tower-floor master suite complete with an upper terrace to enjoy views over the Tuscan hills.

Set in 2.47 acres of landscaped grounds with a large loggia, the property is beautifully positioned for boutique tourism and events near the Tuscan capital of Florence
