Located in the picturesque hilly area of Via Chiantigiana, a short distance from Florence and with a panoramic view of the first hills south of the city, an enchanting apartment is for sale within the historic Villa Lamberti. This prestigious residence, of fifteenth-century origin and located in Poggio a Uzzano, is subject to historical-artistic protection and consists of only four residential units, representing a context of particular architectural and historical value, immersed in the typical landscape of the Florentine hills.
The apartment extends over several levels with a total cadastral area of approximately 240 sqm, characterized by spacious rooms rich in decorative elements of great charm, including well-preserved historical frescoes that testify to the artistic value of the residence. The distribution of spaces follows an articulated structure that enhances both the reception areas and those intended for daily life.
On the level with direct access to the garden, there is a large kitchen, dining room, and an additional multipurpose room currently used as a TV room or study, along with a bathroom. This floor enjoys a direct connection with the outdoor space and is particularly suited to convivial life and daily living.
Ascending to the main floor leads to a large lounge with significant architectural breath, accompanied by a service bathroom and a charming frescoed bedroom. At this level, there is also an elegant bathroom adorned with frescoes, contributing to the unique character and great historical value of the spaces.
The upper level hosts the sleeping area, consisting of a master bedroom, a bathroom, and accessory spaces currently used as storage rooms and a walk-in closet.
The property also includes a pertinent outdoor space of approximately 1,230 sqm, connected to the property and integrated into the villa’s green setting. Within the area, there is a section of about 200 sqm intended for private parking shared with the exclusive parking spaces of the other residential units, with the possibility of accommodating two cars with a covered area.
The complex of Villa Lamberti has ancient origins dating back to the Middle Ages. The first documents related to the Poggio a Uzzano property date back to the 13th century when the entire hill belonged to the Dell’Antella family, one of the oldest Florentine families. In 1415, Vieri dell'Antella gifted the villa to his maid Francesca di Martino della Casa, but the donation was subsequently revoked since the assets were already designated to the Paradiso friars, who acquired the property in 1418. Eventually, the villa was reclaimed by the Antella heirs. Over the centuries, the property passed to various important families, including the Mannelli in 1504 and the Ganucci in 1589, during which time the villa was restored and expanded, taking the name Poggio alla Mela. In 1821, it passed to the Catellini da Castiglione, and in 1853, it was purchased by Vincenzo Lamberti, from whom the current name derives. Later, the property was taken over by the Mosca Lamberti Rosselmini Gualandi family, and in 1998, it was inherited by Paola Zugaro.
Architecturally, the villa dates back to the early 1400s, when the Renaissance villa model was developing in the Florentine countryside. The panoramic position reflects Leon Battista Alberti's principles that country homes should dominate the surrounding landscape. Significant elements of the original structure still exist today, including the monumental stone portal and the benches that delineate the facade. During the 19th century, the villa underwent expansions that led to its current configuration; from this period also date the coat of arms of the Lamberti counts and other heraldic elements present in the courtyard. Additionally, there was a chapel dedicated to the Madonna of the Seven Sorrows within the complex, with still-preserved 18th-century decorations and frescoes.
From a cadastral perspective, the property is classified under category A/8.
