Nata sulla base di una vecchia torre difensiva posta a difesa del ponte sull'Arno, fu acquistata ed ampliata da Filippo Pandolfini che volle costruire la propria residenza nel contado nelle vicinanze di Signa, di cui i Pandolfini sono originari. In questo periodo infatti, dopo un incarico presso Napoli, Filippo divenne priore nel 1381 e successivamente gonfaloniere di giustizia nel 1383.
Guardando il portone d'ingresso al cortile interno, a cui si accede attraverso un muro sormontato da una merlatura guelfa, troviamo sulla sinistra il nucleo originario della vecchia torre posta a difesa del ponte, mentre sulla destra l'ala che è probabilmente un ampliamento voluto dal Pandolfini per creare la corte interna. Sulle facciate esterne del lato più antico sono raffigurati, all'interno di piccole nicchie, gligli fiorentini.
Il figlio di Filippo, Agnolo Pandolfini, amico di Cosimo il Vecchio e fine letterato, ospitò qui Leon Battista Alberti (rettore di San Martino a Gangalandi tra il 1432 ed il 1472), Benedetto da Rovezzano, Papa Eugenio IV, Renato D'Angiò e il duca di Milano Francesco Sforza. Agnolo fu uno dei più ragguardevoli cittadini fiorentini della sua epoca: parte della Signoria nel 1397 e nel 1408, gonfaloniere nel 1414, nel 1420 e nel 1431, ambasciatore nel 1411, 1421 e 1433. Pur continuando a rivestire cariche pubbliche, negli ultimi anni di vita il Pandolfini, probabilmente a causa delle condizioni economiche non più rosee (aveva infatti dovuto dividere il patrimonio tra i due figli maschi Carlo e Giannozzo e i numerosi nipoti, vendendo anche molte proprietà) costrinsero il politico a lasciare la città per trascorrere gli ultimi anni nel contado, proprio presso la torre. Dopo la sua morte, avvenuta a Firenze nel gennaio del 1446, e i funerali, che avvennero anch'essi nella città natale, venne sepolto nella pieve di San Martino a Gangalandi.
Nella prima meta del XVI secolo la storica famiglia vendette la torre in seguito alla costruzione, proprio di fronte alla vecchia residenza, di villa Pandolfini. Nella villa è certa la presenza del re di Francia Carlo VIII a novembre del 1494, quando si apprestava ad entrare in Firenze, ospite di Battista Pandolfini.

Frequently asked questions for this offer
What happens after I make a reservation?
Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.
Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.
What is the standard furnishing of flats?
All the apartments on offer on HousingAnywhere must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.
What is a medium-term rent?
The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without HousingAnywhere is not that easy.
Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?
You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on HousingAnywhere, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on HousingAnywhere.
Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?
Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on HousingAnywhere from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
If you move in and find that the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on HousingAnywhere at the time the reservation request was sent to the landlord, you can withdraw from the lease agreement under certain circumstances explained in this article in our help center.
Also, under our "secure move-in" policy, we'll assist you with moving to an alternative accommodation if you report within a certain period of time that the rental unit doesn't match the ad and the landlord doesn't fix the problem immediately. You can read the details in our help center.
How can I pay?
On HousingAnywhere, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.
How can I cancel my reservation?
How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.
Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact HousingAnywhere customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
