Villa Semifonte

Nestled in the rolling hills between Florence and Siena, Villa Semifonte is a rare example of an 18th-century Tuscan Leopoldina, masterfully restored to preserve its historic soul while offering refined contemporary living. Framed by panoramic vistas of olive groves, vineyards, and the undulating countryside, this exceptional property captures the essence of authentic Tuscan elegance.

Set within 6,000 sqm of beautifully landscaped grounds, the estate comprises a main villa and a characterful barn currently in a raw, unfinished state with restoration potential. The villa’s architectural centerpiece—a traditional central turret—adds enduring charm and a strong sense of heritage.

Inside, serene interiors are thoughtfully curated with soft, neutral tones and timeless materials, offering a sense of space, calm, and sophistication. The ground floor features expansive living and dining areas with a fireplace, a country-style kitchen, one en-suite bedroom, and an additional room with its own bathroom, ideal as a study or guest suite. On the upper level, six generously proportioned bedrooms each enjoy en-suite bathrooms finished with handcrafted Tuscan tiles. A charming turret room offers additional space for a study or single bedroom. A laundry/boiler room and an additional bathroom are discreetly accessed from the garden.

Framed by panoramic vistas of olive groves, vineyards, and the undulating countryside, this exceptional property captures the essence of authentic Tuscan elegance.

The outdoor spaces are equally impressive, with a west-facing infinity pool, shaded sitting areas, a sunset verandah, and a covered dining terrace. The property includes lawns, a field, and an olive grove of approximately 80 trees. An electric gate and full security system provide privacy and peace of mind.

The adjacent barn—partially restored—offers approx. 350 sqm across two floors and can be transformed into additional guest accommodation, a wellness area, or a stylish studio space, allowing for extraordinary flexibility.

A standout feature of Villa Semifonte is its panoramic views from nearly every room, immersing you in the stunning Tuscan landscape.

Whether as a private residence, vacation home, or rental investment, this enchanting villa offers the perfect blend of authenticity, luxury, and location—just a short drive from Florence and nearby historic towns.
