Villa Donati is set in the hills of Valdarno, just five kilometers from Loro Ciuffenna, one of Italy’s most charming villages. The villa blends late 19th-century architectural style with modern infrastructure. Florence is 55 kilometers away, and Arezzo is 26 kilometers.
Architecture and Features
Built at the end of the 19th century, the villa follows the proportions of Gilded Age architecture: high ceilings, flowing room layouts, and a tower with an observation platform. The main floors have been fully restored, technical systems updated, and historical details preserved. The lower levels – including cellars and a lemon house – as well as the attic are unfinished, offering space for personalized design concepts.
Layout:
- 5–6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms
- Master suite with walk-in closet, west-facing terrace, and exclusive access to the tower
- Cinema room with Art Deco elements
- Victorian-style fitness room
- Spa area in the tower with panoramic views
The lower levels are suitable for a hammam, tasting rooms, garages, or technical facilities. The attic provides additional usable space.
Park and Outdoor Areas
The property includes a 7,550 m² (1.87 acres) park with a planned elevated pool area. An olive grove with 120 trees allows for small-scale olive oil production. Access is via a paved road, and the A1 highway is 10 kilometers away.
