In the picturesque hillside setting of Via Chiantigiana, a short distance from Florence and with panoramic views of the first hills south of the city, a fascinating apartment is offered for sale within the historic Villa Lamberti. This prestigious dwelling of 15th-century origin is located in Poggio a Uzzano. The villa, under historical-artistic protection and comprising only four residential units, represents a context of particular architectural and historical prestige, immersed in the typical landscape of the Florentine hills.
The apartment spans several levels with a total cadastral area of approximately 153 sqm. It is characterized by spacious rooms rich with enchanting decorative elements, including well-preserved historic frescoes that attest to the artistic value of the residence. The distribution of spaces follows a structured layout that enhances both the representation rooms and those intended for daily life.
On the level with direct garden access, there is a large eat-in kitchen and an additional multipurpose room currently used as a television room, as well as a bathroom. This floor enjoys a direct relationship with the outside space and is ideal for convivial living and daily life.
Ascending to the reception level, one accesses a spacious living room of considerable architectural scale, flanked by a service bathroom and a charming frescoed bedroom. At this level, there is also an elegant bathroom decorated with frescoes, contributing to the unique and historically valuable character of the environment.
The upper level hosts the sleeping area, consisting of a master bedroom, a bathroom, and accessory spaces currently used as storage and a walk-in closet.
The property also includes an outdoor area of about 1,000 sqm, linked to the property and set within the villa's green context. Within the area, there is a portion of about 200 sqm designated for private parking shared with the exclusive parking spaces of the other property units' owners, with the possibility of accommodating two cars.
The Villa Lamberti complex 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 donated the villa to his servant Francesca di Martino della Casa, but the donation was later revoked as the goods had already been assigned to the Paradiso friars, who came into possession of the property in 1418. Subsequently, the villa was bought back by the heirs of Antella. Over the centuries, the property passed to several important families, including the Mannelli in 1504 and the Ganucci in 1589, during which the villa was restored and expanded to become known as Poggio alla Mela. In 1821, it passed to the Catellini da Castiglione and in 1853 was purchased by Vincenzo Lamberti, from whom the current name derives. The property later passed to the Mosca Lamberti Rosselmini Gualandi family, and in 1998 it was inherited by Paola Zugaro.
Architecturally, the villa's structure dates back to the early 15th century, a period when the Renaissance villa model developed in the Florentine countryside. The panoramic position reflects the principles indicated by Leon Battista Alberti, who suggested that country homes should dominate the surrounding landscape. Significant elements of the original structure remain today, including the monumental rusticated stone portal and the benches that punctuate the facade. During the 19th century, the villa was expanded to its current configuration; this period also saw the inclusion of the Lamberti counts' coat of arms and other heraldic elements in the courtyard. Within the complex, there was also a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows, of which 18th-century decorations and frescoes are still preserved.
From a cadastral perspective, the property is registered under category A/8.
