Castello di Vincigliata : A Timeless Castle Overlooking Florence 🌿

Perched on the hills just below Fiesole and only 5 km from Florence’s Renaissance heart, Castello di Vincigliata is a romantic, fortified masterpiece with breathtaking views over the city and Tuscan countryside.

📜 Built in 1031, the castle has witnessed centuries of history. It was once owned by noble Florentine families such as the Visdomini, Buonaccorsi, and Albizi. After centuries of neglect, it was rediscovered in 1855 by Sir John Temple Leader, an English nobleman and medieval architecture enthusiast, who restored it in a Neo-Gothic style alongside architect Giuseppe Fancelli. Their work blended historical accuracy with creative vision, turning the estate into a romantic retreat frequented by figures like Queen Victoria.

✨ Today, Castello di Vincigliata is a cultural and historical gem, ready to be restored to its former glory. The estate includes:

The main keep (965 m²) with a courtyard reminiscent of the Bargello, Gothic vaulted halls, frescoes, fireplaces, and a panoramic terrace
Two farmhouses (500 m² and 375 m²)
A former foundry (240 m²), suitable for residential conversion
Two medieval towers (one over four floors, the other a 20 m² lookout)
A panoramic garden (3,000 m²) with towers, crenellations, a terracotta terrace, fountain, and wisteria-covered façade
21 hectares of land including vineyards, olive groves, and forest
🔑 A rare opportunity to bring new vision to an iconic historic property — respecting its past while shaping its future.

📍 Discover Castello di Vincigliata — where history, art, and nature come together in timeless harmony.
