On the slopes of the Fiesole hill, along Via Benedetto da Maiano and just ten minutes from the historic centre of Florence, Villa Belvedere offers an exceptional collection of luxury residences in Fiesole, surrounded by four centuries of history.
This 17th-century noble residence is set within a protected historic park, embraced by olive groves, cypress trees and the quiet beauty of the Tuscan countryside.
The entire Villa is undergoing a complete renovation, a major restoration that will bring its character back to life and create eight luxury residences. Each has its own artistic identity, with original features alongside fine finishes and contemporary comfort. New owners will have no renovation work to think about: they will find a home ready to be lived in from day one.
Every apartment has its own private garden and is filled with beautiful natural light: a private space to enjoy the nature that surrounds you.
Villa Belvedere has already caught the attention of buyers well beyond Italy: several residences have been purchased by international clients. It confirms the value of a project for those looking for a home in Florence with a truly international outlook.
Kety Ciko, property agent, recommends this villa
What I love most about Villa Belvedere is the feeling of being immersed in the Tuscan countryside while remaining so close to Florence. As you drive up towards Fiesole, the city gradually disappears behind you, replaced by olive groves, cypress trees and a wonderful sense of peace. The light is beautiful, and the gardens create a lovely connection with nature. The completed restoration also means that new owners can simply arrive and enjoy their home. For me, this is not just about buying a property, but embracing a different way of living.
Life around Villa Belvedere
Fiesole is one of the most beloved corners of Tuscany, a hilltop town that has drawn writers, artists and travellers for centuries. Mornings might begin with a coffee in Piazza Mino, followed by a stroll up to the Monastery of San Francesco and its peaceful gardens.
In summer, the Roman Theatre comes alive with the Estate Fiesolana, a festival of music, theatre and dance performed under the stars among ancient stones. The Etruscan and Roman archaeological area, the Cathedral of San Romolo and the gardens of Villa Medici in Fiesole are all just moments away.
For families, the Villa is close to the Canadian school, making it easy to combine everyday life with the calm of the hills. For those who love the outdoors, paths across the hillside wind through olive groves and woodland, and the historic Via Vecchia Fiesolana leads down towards Florence on foot. With the city centre only ten minutes by car, the Uffizi, the boutiques of Via Tornabuoni and the restaurants of the Oltrarno are always within easy reach.
