Neo-Gothic Castle in Tuscany for Sale Near Florence – 35 Bedroom Castle Villa

This Neo-Gothic castle in Tuscany for sale is located on the edge of a village near the historic Vallombrosa Abbey, approximately one hour from Florence. Set within the Vallombrosa Biogenetic Nature Reserve, the property is surrounded by ancient woodlands and 19th-century arboretums. Built between 1879 and 1887 for Count Antonino Pio Resse and Elizabeth Woodbridge Phelps Pearsall, the castle was designed by Corinto Corinti, an architect who incorporated early Art Nouveau elements into its neo-Gothic structure.

The castle-style mansion villa spans approximately 3,370 sqm (36,361 sqft) across multiple levels and offers up to 35 bedrooms and 35 bathrooms. Originally a private residence, the building was later adapted for use as a hotel, with additional bathrooms installed to serve guest rooms. Although abandoned in the 1970s, major restoration work has been underway since 2003. The ground floor includes large reception rooms suitable for events or restaurant use, while the upper levels are configured for accommodation. The basement comprises original cellars, a kitchen, and storage areas.

The villa is listed as a protected property of historical and architectural importance by the Soprintendenza under a 2014 decree. Within the 3.7-hectare (9.2-acre) park, several outbuildings in ruin (approx. 750 sqm) once served as storage, laundry, and utility areas. Although the original Italian garden no longer exists, its layout remains visible in historic aerial photographs. Mature trees throughout the grounds provide privacy and shade.

Basic services are available within the village, just 800 metres away, and the A1 motorway can be reached in about 30 minutes, providing easy access to Florence and other parts of Tuscany.
