Villa Galli

Description

Villa Galli is a splendid nineteenth-century villa situated in the town of Calenzano, near Florence.
The villa is ideally located: close to the main services of the town (within walking distance) and, at the same time, it boasts a quiet position thanks to its luxuriant garden (4000 sqm) enclosed with shrubs that guarantees an excellent privacy.
Among the outdoor spaces there is an equipped portico with a dining table for alfresco meals, and a comfortable lounge area, perfect for relaxing while sipping a glass of wine.
The property also has a delightful swimming pool (3 x 7 m) with deckchairs and sun loungers, nestled in the surrounding greenery.

PARKING
3-4 private outdoor parking spaces.

Villa Galli is located in the town of Calenzano, between Florence and the Mugello area. The car is not necessary and the main services (shops and restaurants) are within walking distance.
From the villa, you can reach Florence in 30 minutes by bus using the nearby stop (which is just a few metres from the property), or by train via the Calenzano train station, only 2.5 km away.
The Mugello area is characterized by a clever mix of nature and comfort to citizens, while ensuring easy access to the A1 Milan-Naples highway, the proximity to Florence but also to historical centers including Scarperia, one of Italy's most beautiful towns with its Palazzo dei Vicari and the parish-churches in the surrounding area dating back to periods between 1000 and 1200.
For sport lovers, we suggest a visit to the International Racing Circuit of Mugello (40 km). Within half an hour drive you can get to Lake Bilancino where you can practice several water sports, including canoeing, sailing and windsurfing.
Some tennis courts are in the nearest surrounding of the villa and 3 golf courses are located between 15 and 35 km away.
Lastly, if you love shopping, we recommend to go to the Barberino Designer Outlet (25 km) where you can find the most important brands of international fashion.
