+39 055 2654579On the hills of Lastra a Signa, just minutes from Florence, a historic estate of approximately 1,500 square meters with a 16th-century villa and farm. An Italian garden, park, and versatile spaces.
Tenuta dei Glicini is a sixteenth-century residence that still retains the clarity of its original layout.
The property comprises the main villa and the adjacent farmhouse , once the heart of the estate, now reinterpreted as a residential complex. The complex is structured around an Italian-style garden that defines its layout, while the park opens beyond, naturally following the landscape.
By observing the property as a whole, one grasps its structure: the villa, the farm, the central garden, the cypress-lined avenue, and the two side driveways, mirrored by the historic perimeter wall covered with centuries-old wisteria. A balanced composition, built over time, perfectly legible today.
The grand entrance to the villa , spanning approximately 900 square meters, opens directly onto the main floor, leading to a sequence of spaces designed for social life . Three living rooms flow seamlessly into one another, flanked by a dining room with a fireplace, a study, and a first bedroom, as well as an eat-in kitchen and utility rooms. The antique terracotta floors , featuring small diamond patterns in some rooms, along with the fireplaces, stone, and high, frescoed ceilings, define a coherent material language, made lighter by the quality of the light. One of the living rooms features a fresco attributed to Luca Giordano , an element that enriches the home's historical stratification. The upper floor is dedicated to the sleeping area, with bedrooms and bathrooms distributed evenly. As you descend, the home changes pace. What were once utility rooms now become the most lived-in heart, in direct dialogue with the outdoors: a large, distinctive kitchen, utility rooms, and rooms with direct access to the garden and panoramic terrace. In the basement there is a large cellar with a brick barrel vault , of over 100 m2, a large and continuous space that can be reinterpreted in different ways.
Separated from the villa by the Italian garden, the farmhouse retains a more rustic character , yet remains tidy and elegant. It is now divided into three independent apartments , with separate entrances and a predefined layout. The spaces retain a profoundly Tuscan identity, with traditional materials and a more intimate scale. Three adjoining living rooms and a square-shaped terrace create a convivial atmosphere, easily usable both in conjunction with the villa and independently.
The presence of three separate driveways allows for flexible management of the entire property, naturally expanding the possibilities for use, both for hospitality and for a complex family management.
Our gaze
Tenuta dei Glicini is a property distinguished by its balance and completeness. The villa is solid, bright, and already structured. The farmhouse introduces a freer dimension, expanding possibilities without complicating management . It is a property suited to those seeking a ready-to-live-in home, with a strong identity and spaces that allow for a varied lifestyle, balancing formal and informal living. A home that can be reinterpreted in a more modern way, where light plays a key role in the perceived atmosphere. It is not a project to be built, but a predefined structure, capable of adapting over time.
The Italian garden is the heart of the property. It's not a decorative feature, but a structure that organizes the paths and connects the villa and the farm.
The panoramic terrace opens onto the landscape and becomes a natural extension of the house. The arched openings, partially overgrown with vegetation, create a seamless transition between interior and exterior.
The historic perimeter wall, completely covered in centuries-old wisteria, defines the more intimate front of the villa, while the cypress avenue on the opposite side introduces a more open and landscaped reading.
The park extends for approximately 6–7 hectares , including a well-kept garden and an olive grove with approximately 700 trees. The construction of an infinity pool has already been approved.
The property is located in the hills of Lastra a Signa, just outside Florence, in an open and well-connected location. The setting is typical of the first Florentine hills, amidst historic villas, olive groves, and mature gardens, creating a natural continuity between architecture and landscape. Its proximity to the airport, about 15 minutes away, and to major transport links make the property easily accessible, while maintaining privacy and restraint.
