$20 MILLION DOLLAR TUSCAN VILLA – SEE THIS HOUSE

July 11, 2014
  • Share

Surrounded by trees and secluded from civilization is this beautiful Florence, Italy Villa in the heart of Tuscany. Although this villa is seems like a modest retreat, its 15 bedrooms, 14 baths, and 35,520 square footage proves otherwise. This $20 million dollar Tuscan villa sits on 9 acres and is the perfect location to be in the middle of it all and on the outskirts. I’m obsessed! The perfect place to get away with family and friends during the summer!

Listed by Sothebys International Realty, this real estate complex named Il Poderino dates back to the 15th century. The complex is located in the hills of Florence on Via Bolognese. Filled with stunning archways, intricate molding, and traditional flooring one would feel as if they were in their own Italian Summer rom-com.

These photos do not show any furnishings…but I think you can get the picture!

Stunning Archways

I’m a sucker for a glorious archway, and the ones in this Tuscan villa do not disappoint. Almost every exterior and interior entryway features the beautiful circular arch that is timelessly popular in Italian architecture. As I scrolled through the listing, I couldn’t help but admire the craftsmanship and attention to detail. They serve as a magnificent introduction to each room, and the entire home, creating a seamless flow and adding a touch of classic elegance to the overall ambiance of the space. The arches not only enhance the villa’s architectural charm but also evoke a sense of sophistication that is essential Tuscany. Whether stepping into the lush green outdoors of the property or exploring the intimate entryway, these archways add magic that transport you back to the 15th century.

I love the mismatched tile and green shutters that invite you into the home. But, the archways, paired with that beautiful mosaic ceiling, is alluring and whimsical. This front entryway has so much character and class that can only be credited to the historical villa itself.

The intricate tile is something that cannot be missed, and paired with the columns makes this front room true Italian grandeur. Although the room itself is gorgeous, if you glance up these archways are so eye-catching. From the curvature in the hallway to the arches off the stairs, they truly create a mesmerizing and breathtaking picture.

Elaborate Ceilings

Elaborate ceilings are a feature that never fails to captivate me, and this Tuscan villa exceeds all expectations. Each room reveals a breathtaking display of artistry, as intricate designs grace every ceiling on the property. From beautifully painted molding to meticulously carved coffered ceilings, these are true works of art that are true to the classic style of Tuscany. I can’t get enough!

One of my favorite rooms in the villa is this living area. That fireplace and the marble floors are unlike anything I have ever seen! When paired with the beautiful wood doors, this room is perfect. But the look up, and the wooden coffered ceiling takes it to the next level. Originated by 7th-century Romans, this historic Italian look transcends into this home! I obviously love it!

I had to include a close-up image of the painted molding in the parlor. The opulent golds paired with the light purple and green adds classical fun to the space. This, alongside the intricate curled details is elegant and jaw-dropping. I have never seen something this beautiful in a home. The plus side, it’s historic to the building!

Bright Master Suite

I love a good master suite. A place to relax after a day exploring the quaint areas in Florence on Via Bolognese. I imagine myself winding down here in this Tuscan villa. Obviously, the master needs a redesign but one that appeals to the classic fixtures of the building. The thought of stepping into a new beautifully designed room makes me giddy!

These windows are perfect. The amount of natural light that enters this room really brightens the overall space. My favorite part of this master suite is the wood ceiling. It’s so traditional yet exciting adding a new dynamic to the room. Also, I can’t ignore the tile floors. Talk about the perfect Italian room!

Traditional Hedge Maze

Hedge mazes scream luxury, and these are no exception. The magnificent hedge mazes on this property extend throughout the 9-acre property and lead to a beautiful stone fountain. Talk about the perfect secret garden! Obviously, I had to include these as they really elevate the exterior of this property. An Italian villa getaway is nothing without traditional Tuscan fields!

This is lush and is perfectly nestled against the trees, perfectly enveloping the fountain. These play the perfect opportunity to get lost in the beauty of the property and relax in the sun. The attention to detail is remarkable and add even more seclusion to the villa. I am in awe!

The hedge maze leads straight to this marvelous stone fountain. It’s like a little hidden gem just waiting to be discovered. The perfect spot to pause and take in the natural beauty around you. With a little TLC, this could be returned to its former glory!

Now, I have to ask: what do you think of this Tuscan villa? Is it worth the $20 million dollar price tag!

Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celeb Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celebrate...I want to help.
I want to make a meaningful impact in our greater Los Angeles community suffering from the fires. I invite you to join me in transforming birthday wishes into support for one local organization on the ground in Pasadena/Altadena.
I have made a contribution today already to the LA Fire Relief Fund created by @victorybiblechurch in Pasadena. They are actively assisting families in need in both Pasadena and Altadena who have been affected by the devastating Eaton Fire.
Although I don't have a personal connection to Pastor DeCuir or the church, I was searching for an organization that is helping in the Altadena area. A well respected civil rights attorney I follow @leemerrittesq is on the ground helping the church members and community members with legal services in the wake of the fires. I hope by contributing to their efforts, we can extend a helping hand to those facing significant challenges during this difficult time
To donate, please visit their website at https://vbcpasadena.org/ (link in bio as well). Every contribution, no matter the size, brings hope and relief to those who need it most. Tell them you heard about them from me.
Your generosity to the Los Angeles community is the best birthday gift I could ask for.

Happy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this freshHappy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this fresh chapter, I’m reminded of the beauty of starting anew and I like recommitting to goals at the top of the year. Nothing set in stone but just an overall vision of what I'd like to do and who I would hope to help along the way.
This year, my mantra is: **dream big, act boldly, treasure the small joys, continue to lead with kindness and to have as much empathy as possible for others **. Just a few things...😂
I’m also deeply committed to helping people who follow along to achieve their dreams. I'll be curating captivating interior design inspiration with COCOCOZY that will hopefully give you ideas and dreams for your own space. I will also be empowering you to realize the value of your influence with Chirpyest by earning cash back for sharing and shopping. I hope to be open about the journey of the COCOCOZY product line. I want to share real time behind the scenes how the line is being built and how we are growing Chirpyest; both examples of the not so linear journey of building businesses from the ground up. I hope these stories spark you to push your own boundaries and shake out of your comfort zones.
Lastly, in 2025, I’m committed to surrounding myself with people who have a positive vibe about them while striving to be that same light for others. Luckily, I have a great start on this with an amazing family and fantastic group of friends - a fantastic support network.
My wish for you in 2025: May this year bring you clarity, courage, and the confidence to pursue all that makes you happy.
What’s one thing you’re committing to in 2025? Let’s inspire each other in the comments! 💬❤️
Let's get to this...am ready 2025!
