Description
Majestic Medici Villa In The Florentine Hills
Many of the original details, such as frescoes, beautiful coffered ceilings and original floors, have been very carefully preserved.
The villa is divided into several levels, served by a convenient lift as well as stairs.
On the basement level we find a SPA, while in the well-kept Italian-style garden we find statues and fountains, as well as several loggias and relaxation areas.
The ground floor consists of several lounges, a convivial kitchen area, an area for service personnel, an independent guest flat, the private, frescoed chapel and a large lemon house currently used as an office, and the various panoramic loggias with breathtaking views of the whole of Florence and its sunset on the horizon.
The second floor is used as a sleeping area, with some relaxation areas, bedrooms, bathrooms, a large loggia with a view and a further independent flat with its own entrance.
The marvellous 17th century Villa, which received the Queen of Holland on a visit in the past, is decorated with various frescoes, which we find on most of the walls and which have historical value.

FAQ
How can I get a residence permit by buying property in Italy?
In Italy a residence permit is typically issued based on a minimum investment threshold. Applications are reviewed within 30–60 days in Florence; you will need a passport, proof of funds, and the ownership documents. Hatamatata helps prepare and submit the paperwork.
Is a mortgage available for non-residents in Italy?
Banks in Italy finance 50–70% of the property value for non-residents with rates of 3–5% for 20–30 years. A life insurance policy and a 30–40% down payment are usually required. Terms and programs vary by city and bank.
What taxes and fees apply when buying in Italy?
Expected expenses: transfer tax 0–15%, registration 0.5–2%, notary 0.5–1.5%, agent commission 0–3%. In total 2–20% on top of the purchase price. Exact rates depend on region, property type and programs.
How is the title checked in Italy?
A title search at the land registry of Italy takes 10–15 business days. You receive ownership, encumbrance and tax clearance certificates. Documents are translated and reviewed by a lawyer before signing.
Can I rent out property after purchase in Italy?
Yes. Rental income tax is 5–25% depending on the regime. In Florence short-term tourist rentals typically yield 5–8% per year. Municipal permission and income registration are usually required.
