Penthouse via delle Ballodole, Bolognese, Florence

Designed in the 1970s by the architect Leonardo Ricci, one of the most eclectic of his time, this house seamlessly blends living space with the surrounding environment, becoming a unique example of organic architecture.

From the main gate, you access the road that leads to the property. It is a semi-detached villa, with the penthouse in question representing the upper part, spanning the first and second floors.

The first level offers a bright double living room with a thermal fireplace and a dining room with immense windows open to the surrounding countryside. The large covered terraces on this floor add additional enjoyable spaces in every season. The eat-in kitchen, a study or fourth (single) bedroom with a bathroom, and a storage room complete this area. An internal staircase, one side of which is made of local rough stone, leads to the sleeping area consisting of three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two spacious livable terraces, one of which is a 50 sqm solarium with breathtaking views of sunsets, hills, and the city.

The apartment also has two entrances, an internal and perimeter alarm system. The property includes an exclusive courtyard with olive trees, a barbecue area, a communal garden, parking spaces, and a small cellar.
