Today's home is a chance to live in a piece of history. Villa Bianca is located on a hill in Fiesole, Italy with jaw-dropping views of Florence and the surrounding countryside. The home dates back from the XIV century and is spread out over three levels. The first floor has a wide loggia with columns, library, study, living room with access to the garden and more. The five-bedroom home still includes details that date back hundred of years including stone fireplaces and wood floors. It's obviously in need of restoration but the classic vault and cross vault ceilings, boiserie and graceful lines make it worth the care and effort. This slice of Tuscan romance is listed at 4.2 million euros.
