A Tuscan Farmhouse With a Medieval Tower? Add to Cart!
Just outside Florence, Italy, in Bagno a Ripoli, this rustic 14th-century farmhouse retreat comes complete with olive groves, terracotta floors, and one very confident medieval tower.
It might need a slight refresh, but trust — this is the kind of fixer-upper that comes with bragging rights.
This place is a centuries-old, stone-clad dare.
A weathered stone escape with good bones, better views, and just enough unfinished charm that’ll make you clap your hands like castanets.
This beauty is called Pietra Accogliente — “Cozy Stone”
But honestly, Future Showstopper With Olive Trees has a better ring to it.
The Kind of Stone You Brag About at Dinner Parties
Set on 1.59 acres in the rolling green hills just south of Florence, this six-bedroom, three-bath farmhouse with a 15th-century tower has all the fixings of a rustic fever dream:
exposed beams,
crumbling fireplaces, and
actual ancient stone walls that would 100% get their own dedicated Instagram account.
And while it’s still waiting for a makeover, it’s got that kind of structural charisma that only a few centuries can deliver.
The main house spans over 400 square metres (that’s about 4,300 square feet of renovation potential), with another 100 square meters tucked into a vine-draped guesthouse.
Translation: space for you, your friends, your in-laws, their dogs, and possibly a truffle pig.
Interiors with Levels
The floor plan reads like a choose-your-own-adventure novel.
On the ground level, you’ve got multiple spacious rooms ready to be turned into lounges, libraries, or maybe even that candle-lit pasta-making studio you’ve been threatening to open.
The main living space offers panoramic loggia views that stretch across the countryside like a well-aged Pecorino.
Upstairs, two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a walk-in closet make up the first floor — with one bedroom opening straight onto the garden.
Head higher and the tower reveals a sun-drenched great room, a third bedroom, another bath, and finally, a top-floor loft that practically begs to be turned into a moody, velvet-draped reading nook.
The guesthouse?
Oh, it’s just casually draped in climbing roses, with a stone fireplace, separate dining space, kitchenette, and its own upstairs suite.
Yes, it’s giving “Tuscany meets cottagecore with strong Chianti energy.”
Where the Garden Literally Steals the Show
The surrounding 6,000 square metres (approx. 64,583 square feet.) of private garden aren’t just scenic—they’re straight-up cinematic.
We’re talking:
olive trees,
cypress-lined paths, and
a pool that practically winks at you to pour a Negroni and relax.
There’s room for relaxation zones, veggie gardens, and even your long-lost dream of hosting a midsummer feast under twinkling lights and linen table runners.
A Tuscan Address with Street Cred
Located in Bagno a Ripoli on the historic Terzano path — a road that’s been around since 1066 — you’re just a 15 minute drive from central Florence.
That’s right: the Duomo is basically your neighbor.
Spend your mornings harvesting tomatoes and your afternoons browsing Renaissance masterpieces. It’s giving farm-to-table realness with a side of Botticelli.
Not Just a Fixer-Upper. A Fixer-Fabulous.
While it needs a little (okay, a lot of) love, this estate has all the bones, beams, and bragging rights to become something truly spectacular.
Whether you’re planning to restore it into a boutique retreat, a multi-generational escape, or just want to finally get around to using that limewash tutorial you saved in 2019 — the vision is yours to build.
