ITALY, TUSCANY, FLORENCE, IMPRUNETA
Superb and prestigious period villa near Impruneta, just a few kilometres from the city of Florence, a historic residence of about 1300 square metres surrounded by about 8 hectares of land in a quiet and panoramic position, enjoying a beautiful view over Florence.
Location
In a small hamlet about 3km from Impruneta. The traditions of Impruneta date back to Etruscan times, then the geographical position, the potential of the soil and the relative proximity to Florence favoured the birth of a Roman agglomeration. The Marian sanctuary located there is certainly one of the factors that made the municipality famous. Also noteworthy is Piazza Buondelmonti, whose late 16th-century loggias hosts the main town festivals. Tourism plays an important part in the town’s economy.
