Sale villa style in 1930, the property is located in Tuscany in the beautiful historic town of Montevarchi between Arezzo and Florence. The hilly countryside is a succession of villages and castles, in a landscape of rare suggestion that penetrates the territory of Chianti within one of the most famous landscapes in the world, vineyards (and extraordinary wines), castles, abbeys and ancient villages. An ancient and evocative landscape between gorges, golden spiers and borri, always embellished in the backgrounds of the Leonardeschi paintings. A very special and suggestive itinerary is the one that leads along the "Setteponti Road", from Loro Ciuffenna to Castelfranco, from Pian di Scò to Reggello along the Balze, canyons and gorges carved for 40 km in the Valdarnesi and Pratomagno hills. These are geological episodes dating to millions of years ago, formed by erosion of the friable hills that border the Arno and its tributaries. The ancient villa for sale is located in the center of the beautiful town of Montevarchi in the Valdarno, is called Palazzo Galeffi, the residence of one of the most visible families of the city, owners of real estate and important companies. The Palace is characterized by the typical neo-medieval aspect, which, however, betrays many elements of the culture of the time: Liberty and Decò are not bandits, but subjected to a careful balance research by Professor Petrini and architect Zumkeller. The property appears as a compact block, almost parallelepiped because of the anterior slope which advances slightly from the facade; The villa is spread over three floors, the latter being a large attic. Particular care is given to the wall surface: the cladding is reserved for the first floor of the façade and corner pillars as well as the arches of the windows a row as a junction between all windows of the second floor; The exposed brick instead is used for the rest of the building. A sloping staircase leads both to the main entrance and to the terrace on a base: a massive doorway in castellano style welcomes the lightened visitor can by decorating the bezel above, made of enamelled tiled tiles. The decoration is made up of a compact golden background on which stands a central medallion, with a natural look, woven with ribbons from a vine plant. Other ceramic decorations are found in the lunettes of numerous external buffaloes: the recurring motif is the bushy amphora from which comes a triumph of fruit, flowers and branches twisted to ribbons and to the lateral ends support two birds. On the back, a kind of bow-window with external staircase and overhanging terrace, is a curious piece of northern European architecture, far from conceived by the medieval taste of the building. The entrance door of this secondary entrance, as well as the two three-pane windows (of which the central one with a very narrow arch), are covered with a wrought iron vest, which recalls the appearance of a Castle. This door also has ceramic decoration in the bezel; Between this and the architrave there is a glass and wrought-iron gutter, with two lateral grille dragons, and iron works that, by design and originality, must be reported. The cleavage inspires the motif of the curl, the spiral and the palmetto, and is particularly rich and well-built: it remains in the heart of the Tuscan tradition. The commission between traditional styles and modernity, and even more marked inside, ranging from the exotic taste of the living room, featuring Japanese-style tapestries, delicate bird-painted paradise painted on the ceiling and deco furniture to the rustic wooden lacunar ceilings , With rectangular and square compartments inlaid with geometric vegetal motifs. In particular, we recall the square vaulted ceiling of a staircase, in which the artist under the artist Fini painted hunting scenes and heraldic motifs, in perfect neo-medieval taste. Another square and rectangular ceiling, instead, has a mosaic-painted band, while in the corners, two lucerne emit smoke. Finally, we also have the Liberty Palace, the bow-window, characterized by the impressive glass and wrought iron lamp and the floral ceiling decorations. Particularly accurate are the furnishing details, which are scattered inside the rooms. Finally, ecclesiastics also characterize the exterior garden inspired by the Italian in the area facing the main façade, while the rest is more like the English romantic garden with tall trees, large bushes and fountains in a park of 10000 sqm Around, the beautiful oval pool equipped with solarium and changing rooms, completes the property a beautiful lemonade, and other buildings bordering the exterior garden (independent entrance outside the villa) used and reserved to the staff (dependance) with 1 room from A living room kitchen and 1 bathroom. The restaurant boasts 200 covered between winter and exterior, it was built where once was the famous magnesium effervescent Galeffi production plant. It is equipped with an outdoor garden and court accessing the museum and the villa, but well separated by a tall, evergreen hedge. The Museum is housed in a building adjacent to Villa Liberty, one of the most interesting liberty buildings in Montevarchi. It has a large collection of graphics (about 2000 drawings), plus 50 sculptures and some paintings by the artist montevarchino Ernesto Galeffi ( 1917-1986). The museum, which was opened in 1996, is due to the new layout of the collection from the family to the Municipality of Montevarchi and to the Valdarnese Academy of the Poggio.
