Enchanting villa built in neo-medieval style with tower and panoramic terraces for sale exclusively with Apolloni & Blom in Bucine, Arezzo. Within a 127-hectare estate, in the heart of Tuscany, stands the tall tower of Villa Frisoni in Lupinari, an admirable example of rural architecture built at the beginning of the last century by the famous architect Gino Coppedè. The building is a suggestive castle located in a panoramic position, which has a compact central body and an imposing tower, both decorated with a dynamic battlement. The exposed stone wall surfaces are adorned with narrow mullioned windows in Romanesque and neo-Gothic style, inspired by the Palazzo Pubblico in Siena and Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. The external walls of the castle recall Sienese architecture, being decorated with an effective combination of light and red colors, both in the stone and brick parts. The plastered parts are frescoed with geometric motifs. The Villa is spread over five floors, all equally characterized by refined architectural details and decorations of great value. The basement contains service rooms. The mezzanine floor is accessed via an external stone staircase, through a loggia with round arches supported by sturdy pillars. Here, three French windows with decorated glass lead to a reception room with a decorated wooden ceiling and stone fireplace. A double wooden staircase with an elaborate railing leads to the upper floors, characterized by bedrooms with frescoed ceilings and heraldic coats of arms. The loggias and terraces, facing south, allow the inhabitants to enjoy the beauty of the Valdambra and the Tuscan countryside during the summer months. A park with tall trees and Mediterranean plants surrounds the villa. Annexes to be recovered and deposits are included. A very short distance away is a village with 11 apartments and a swimming pool that can be purchased together with the villa. This castle is an extraordinarily detailed architectural work, demonstrating the high level of craftsmanship and creativity of a great artist, architect and sculptor, and offers excellent potential for a private residence and luxury hospitality business.
