SPLENDID REAL ESTATE COMPLEX IN THE HILLS OF ROVETA

Nestled in the beautiful setting of the hills of Roveta, surrounded by greenery, just 6 km from downtown Florence, an important and historical 15th-century villa, originally belonging to the ancient Tazzi family. At the beginning of the 16th century, the residence passed into the Nelli family, and then, in the 17th and 18th centuries, the estate was owned by other noble Florentine families, such as the Mazzucconi and the Cionfogni and finally, in the 19th century by the Bertelli family, from whom it inherited the name, as it is still known.

The complex comprises the principal residence surrounded by beautiful gardens, swimming pool, tennis court, a delightful private chapel, two farmhouses each with its own private garden and 13 hectares of fenced land cultivated with olive groves and vineyards.
The main villa offers a total surface area of circa 830 sq.mt., and underwent in recent decades an important restoration, that has enhanced and embellished the original features, enriched with precious details, while preserving all the charm of the past and its history.

The heart of the villa lies in the beautiful halls in particular the reception room with majestic ceilings with original wooden beams and heights of over six metres, the large and scenic fireplace, and the imposing and suggestive doors and windows all looking onto the park. The ground floor also features a magnificent billiard room and in the mezzanine above a charming card room and a very intimate and cosy study overlooking the garden. On the same floor, connected to the main living room and the kitchen, is a delightful dining room with a large fireplace, bringing back to mind the bygone atmosphere of the ancient noble Tuscan country villas.
The large sleeping area is accessed from the entrance hall and offers a beautiful primary suite with its own private bathroom; the views are enchanting, overlooking the pool and the surrounding hills. The room also has a loft area, consisting of a delightful dovecote with a 360° view of the countryside. There are three further beautiful bedrooms with two bathrooms. From every room we admire the splendid landscape of the surrounding hills.

On the ground floor of the villa there is also an apartment of approximately 200 sq.mt, which is completely independent. The flat can also be considered part of the villa as well as having an autonomous and independent use.
The villa's cellars are also beautiful and fascinating, particularly the wine cellar.

In the large panoramic garden there is a splendid swimming pool, a tennis court and a delightful consecrated private chapel. It is surrounded by thirteen hectares of land cultivated with olive groves and vineyards, completely fenced in.
The complex also includes two large farmhouses of more than 230 sq.mt., each with its own independent entrance and private garden. Both farmhouses consist of a large living room, dining room, an ample kitchen and on the upper floor three bedrooms and three bathrooms.
The two farmhouses are in an excellent state of maintenance.

This superb and impressive real estate complex can be used either as an exclusive residence or divided into several units, with the further possibility of becoming an elegant accommodation facility.
The location is absolutely strategic only 6 km from the centre of Florence, close to the highways and the Florence airport, and represents a rare opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the Tuscan hills, without give up the comforts of the city.
