House in Chianni
Chianni, Pisa
The square and massive structure, the turret with dovecote, the courtyard with stone annex surrounded by the Tuscan countryside with its fields and hills. These are the distinctive features of the so-called Leopoldian villas: country houses built in the 1700's by the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Pietro Leopoldo di Lorena, which have become a symbol of an elegant rural style full of charm. This model, unique in the world, inspired La Leopoldina, a country house built in 2009, reproducing the stylistic features of ancient farms of the time, but using contemporary materials and technologies. Just take the short stretch of dirt road dotted with cypresses to enter a dreamlike atmosphere: a garden with lawn of almost 5,000 sqm which frames the house, a small outbuilding with a wood-burning oven and a porch as well as a beautiful swimming pool with terracotta solarium where you can wait for the sun to disappear behind the hill, coloring the water with its flaming sunset. The large living area on the ground floor houses a living room with a monumental fireplace and an enormous chandelier that descends from the 7-meter high ceiling. Connected to the living room and overlooking the garden, there is a large dining room, perfect for gathering around ten people for lunch, which leads to the country-style built-in kitchen. On the ground floor there is also a double bedroom with French doors to the garden and private bathroom. A staircase with wrought iron handrail with minimal and elegant lines connects with the upper floor which houses the 3 bedrooms all equipped with bathroom and fireplace, perfect for creating a magical atmosphere in winter and especially during the holidays. Going up a spiral staircase you finally arrive at the windowed turret: it is the Colombaia, a sitting room at the highest point of the house where you can spend relaxing moments in total privacy. Outside, in the garden, the tool shed serves as a warehouse, while on the porch there is a barbecue with oven where you can prepare food for your guests and serve it in the shade of the patio. The garden furniture is full of elements that allow you to take advantage of the outdoors in a perfect way: tables, chairs and sofas in wrought iron under the pergola leaning against the wall create a dining and lounge corner that can be used from sunrise to sunset. The sunbeds, the deck chairs and the gazebo on the edge of the delightful infinity pool of 15 x 5 meters make the experience in this environment an all inclusive pleasure. Coordinated with everything, even a shaded car park with three parking spaces, with a wooden structure. Every finish of this villa is treated to perfection, from the oval shape of the windows on the first floor to the wrought iron details of the stairs and chandeliers, but its elegance is not without amazement: in a corner of the garden a small hill has been created with para sun, where you can enjoy a moment of "escape" surrounded by greenery, alone or in company. Scattered in strategic or panoramic points, the rural villas, designed for a more rational management of agricultural activity, are today oases of peace and beauty, where you can spend memorable summers or settle down with your family on a permanent basis. Being able to reach the city in about an hour, they allow you to experience a bucolic and an urban dimension at the same time, without losing the tranquility of one and the dynamism of the other. For this reason they are ideal for a holiday home for your family, but also to be used as accommodation business, as is currently the case for this villa and with excellent results: from here you can start to visit the cities of art during the day, to then return in the evening to your own paradise "with a view."

(2) due diligence (title, mortgages/charges, planning and cadastral conformity),
(3) preliminary contract (compromesso) with deposit (caparra),
(4) mortgage/finance (if needed) and final checks,
(5) completion at the notary signing the deed (rogito) and transferring funds,
(6) notary registers ownership with the land registry and updates cadastral records.
In Italy, verifying urban planning + cadastral conformity (often with a geometra) is a major risk-reducer, especially for older homes.

What is a “Codice Fiscale” and why do I need it to buy in Italy?
The Codice Fiscale is your Italian tax code and it’s required for key steps in a property purchase—signing contracts, opening utilities, paying taxes, and often for banking.

Your lawyer can usually guide the application process, or you can obtain it via the Italian tax office or consulate route depending on your situation.
