FLOOR PLANS OF THE ViLLA A garage (50 sqm - 538 sqft) with technical rooms complete the property. The villa dates back to the early 20th century but it was finely and carefully restored in 2011 by using only prestigious materials that could enrich the villa, without distorting the original idea. High-level finishes have been kept and all the elements which had been damaged by the passing of time have been replaced with new ones identical to the original. On the outside, windows boast grey-stone frames, in stark contrast with white walls. On the inside, doors, arches and windows are framed with columns, half-pilasters, molded jambs and decorated epistyles. The ample and bright entrance room boasts a polished-stone floor with at its center the Florentine Lily. The monumental staircase leading to the first floor boasts wooden steps and a beautiful black-iron railing decorated with floral motives. The first floor is fully paved in wood and here we find another Florentine Lily in the landing. All the walls have been painted with soft and warm colors, with well-visible decorations and moldings: rooms and bright and welcoming, thanks to ample windows that allow light to easily enter the building. All the systems have been replaced and updated during the renovation and are now of the highest standard. The building falls in the energy class D (83.8 kWh/m2 year).
