DESCRIPTION
APARTMENT IN A LIBERTY VILLA FOR SALE IN FLORENCE
These apartments in a period villa are located in the area of Pian dei Giullari, one of the most renowned and well-known areas of Florence. The two units (262 sqm and 103 sqm) are located on the ground and basement floors of the villa and house a total of 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. A reunification project for the two units has also been advanced, as there is already an internal staircase between the two floors. Outside, the villa is surrounded by a 750-sqm of private garden and has two reserved parking spaces in the parking lot below.
The location of the villa is very convenient and is not far from basic services (700 m), which can also be reached on foot. From Florence it is then easy to move throughout Tuscany and visit its most famous and well-known centers (Castellina in Chianti, San Gimignano, Monteriggioni, Siena, Volterra, Lucca, Pisa...).
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY
The property is located on the two lowest floors of a Liberty-style period villa set on the heights above Florence. Currently, the property is divided into two independent apartments, easily unified by reopening a wall that was closed in the past on the lower floor.
 FLOOR PLANS OF THE VILLA
• The main apartment (262 sqm – 2,819 sqft, 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms) is located on the raised ground floor of the villa. From the stately external staircase, one arrives at a central entrance hall, and from here one goes to the spacious living room with balconies on the left. On the right, a hallway leads to the apartment's small kitchen, the apartment's three bedrooms (all with exit to the outdoor terraces) and the bathroom. The last room provides access via a spiral staircase to a loft where there is currently a bed but which could be used as a study. From the central room, another wooden staircase ascends to a second loft consisting of a walk-in closet and private bathroom. Back at the entrance, an internal staircase descends to the basement where there is a large living room (also known as taverna in Italian) with a fireplace, ideal as a play area.
• The guest apartment (103 sqm – 1,108 sqft, 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom), on the other hand, is located in the basement, with a separate entrance from the northern side of the villa. A small entrance hall gives access to the bedroom on the right side, a bathroom right in front and the living area on the left, consisting of an eat-in kitchen and a large living room with dining corner.
There is already a plan to reunify the two apartments, which would allow for one large 365-sqm dwelling on two floors with space for guests and large living areas.
All around the villa is a private garden (about 750 sqm – 8,070 sqft) framed by hedges and placed just below the ground floor terraces. The space is more than enough if one wanted to place tables and chairs to enjoy the sunny Tuscan days of summer.
Below the villa is a large dirt parking lot (about 1,400 sqm – 0.3 ac) enclosed by a gate: here, the villa has two reserved parking spaces plus other free parking spaces that can be used if needed.
HISTORY OF THE PROPERTY
The villa is named after the Russian prince Alexander Zoubaloff, who commissioned the building in the early 20th century. The Russian nobleman, who arrived in Florence in the late 19th century, had a villa built to exhibit his impressive collection of art pieces, most of them masterful copies of historical masterworks (including a life-size reproduction of the Baptistery doors by Ghiberti). After purchasing several plots of land between 1902 and 1906, Zoubaloff initiated the construction in 1907. Only a few years later, heavily indebted and with the villa almost completed, the prince was forced to put his properties up for sale and in 1917 the entire collection was auctioned off.
Upon his death in 1919, the villa passed first to his heirs and the following year to Leonzio Sartori and Ernesto Alessandri. In 1927, the Morroni family took possession of the property and made various changes that are still visible today.
During the war, the villa, together with the nearby Torre del Gallo, was requisitioned by the Italian-German forces and converted into a prison: part of the interior partitions and the tiled floors on the ground floor date back to this period.
The building then passed to a company in the 1960s: a renovation project was initiated in 1985 and concluded in 1991 with the splitting up of the villa and the sale of the various apartments to private individuals.

The word Villa refers to an architectural typology whose meaning has evolved over the centuries. In the Roman Age, the villa was a house built for the upper classes. In the Post Roman Age, villa referred to a sort of village, similar to a fortified and self-sufficient farm whose inhabitants were called "villani" or "villici". It is with the architect and philosopher Leon Battista Alberti and his masterpieces Villa and De re edificatoria that the Villa starts to be considered as a place of pleasure and leisure. In the Renaissance villas, the first example of which is considered Villa Medici in Fiesole, the typically military and defensive features of rustic medieval castles are, for the first time, abandoned. This new conception of villa starts, therefore in Tuscany and, then, spreads to other courts of Italy and Europe. The Palladian villas, built in the sixteenth century in the area of Vicenza and along the Riviera del Brenta, represent examples that remained very influential for over four centuries. It is very interesting to note how the term "villa" is commonly used in the English language. At the beginning of the eighteenth century, in fact, even in England this new architectural style became fashion and the word "villa" was so officially adopted also by the into English language.
In the nineteenth century people began to talk about Villas simply referring to isolated buildings in the countryside, to emphasize the contrast with the houses joined together.
This is a brief history of the architectural style protagonist of this portal, the Villa, whether we are talking about a farmhouse converted into a prestigious dwelling, a modern villa, a castle, a Medicean villa or a villa abroad. |
