Description
In the heart of the gentle Tuscan hills, between Pisa and Florence, stands this fascinating 16th-century castle-villa, an authentic testament to elegance and history, now perfectly restored and equipped with every modern comfort.
The main residence, approximately 528 square meters, is spread over three levels and on the ground floor, it accommodates reception rooms of rare beauty: four large rooms with original wooden beams and ancient terracotta floors evoke the noble atmosphere of period residences. On the western side, the traditional kitchen with a large formal dining room opens onto the private garden through a spacious and elegant loggia, suitable for convivial moments. A suite with a bathroom completes this level.
The piano nobile, accessible by an elegant stone staircase, hosts the sleeping area consisting of five bedrooms and four bathrooms, including private suites and refined passing lounges, perfect for reading or relaxation. On the top level, the habitable attics offer additional customizable spaces such as a study, playroom, or additional bedrooms.
Restored with care in 1973, the villa presents itself in 19th-century style, enriched by romantic battlements and faux stone frames, elements that give it a unique scenic elegance.
Today, the property perfectly combines history and technology, thanks to the presence of a 19.5 kW photovoltaic system, generator, volumetric alarm system, and video surveillance with six cameras, and heat pump air conditioning to ensure comfort and safety in every season.
Within the estate, there are numerous prestigious outbuildings that together with the villa cover an area of about 1,800 square meters:
- Ancient winemaking cellar
- Garage with storage
- Private noble chapel
- Independent two-level annex with living area, two bedrooms, and bathroom
- Farm with agricultural warehouses and caretakers' apartment
- Modern underground cellar, perfect for oenological use.
Surrounded by a panoramic private park from which we can admire the enchanting views of the landscapes of San Miniato, it represents an ideal residence for those seeking a blend of art, history, and nature, or a refined investment in the heart of Tuscany.
The property is completed by approximately 20 hectares of land consisting of vineyards, olive groves, and arable land.

Location: San Miniato, Tuscany
San Miniato is a true Tuscan gem full of history, culture, and timeless landscapes. Its dominant position on a panoramic hill between Florence and Pisa allowed the village to develop and become a nerve center during the era of the Holy Roman Empire. The medieval origins and glorious past are still visible today in the perfectly preserved historic center, where alleys, noble palaces, Romanesque churches, and breathtaking views of the Tuscan countryside intertwine.
In addition to the rich artistic and historical heritage, the village is famous for its gastronomic tradition linked to the white truffle, which every autumn attracts connoisseurs from all over the world.
For outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking an authentic connection with nature, San Miniato represents a privileged stop along the historic Via Francigena, the ancient pilgrimage route that crosses Europe to Rome. A unique opportunity to explore its stretches on foot or by bike, immersed in intact and silent hilly scenarios.
Well connected, the village is about 30 minutes from the main cities of Florence, Pisa, and Lucca, less than an hour from the beaches of the Tyrrhenian coast and the international airport of Pisa. An ideal location for those wishing to invest in a property that combines historical charm, tranquility, and accessibility.
