Full Description
Tucked in the heart of Tuscany, the home of Michelangelo and Leonardo, lies Casa dell'Artista. Set in the serene Ambra Valley, just above a small village, this timeless property gazes out across rolling hills, offering an inspiring blend of history, creativity, and natural beauty.
Once the cherished home, studio, and workshop of an artist, the house radiates warmth and character. Every room tells a story, with the spirit of artistic expression infused into its very walls. Casa dell'Artista is not just a dwelling; it's a soulful retreat, a haven for the senses, and a place where life and art live side by side.
The original structure began as a tower, distinguished by its striking buttress—a “sperone”—still proudly visible on the façade. Over the centuries, the building evolved into the spacious and character-filled residence it is today.
Spread across multiple levels, the home offers a harmonious layout. On the lower level, a cool cellar and a spacious garage provide both practical storage and direct access to the main living spaces above. The ground floor has been lovingly transformed into an exhibition gallery, where finished artworks are displayed and stored—a place where creativity continues to breathe.
A central internal staircase leads up to the first floor, where an entrance hall opens onto a cozy fireplace room, a living room, and a kitchen. From the entrance hall, a few steps descend to the artist’s personal sanctuary: a quiet wing with three rooms and a bathroom, ideal for a studio, guest space, or private retreat.
The second floor houses a hallway, three bedrooms, a generous bathroom and a storage room. Above it all, a wooden staircase ascends to the tower room.
Outside, a covered loggia and sun-drenched terrace open onto a gently sloping garden shaded by majestic umbrella pines, offering the perfect setting for alfresco dining, meditation, or simply soaking in the Tuscan light.
