In the heart of the Maremma in Pitigliano, a former convent of San Francesco, part of a 16th century complex designed at the time by a Renaissance architect for the noble Orsini family, just a 10-minute walk from the historic center of Pitigliano, an ancient and beautiful village in Tuscany, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The original drawings are now deposited in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. The property has undergone an important conservative restoration with the addition of modern comforts, but remaining a wonderful oasis of tranquility immersed in nature and history. The arrival at the convent takes place through the fenced courtyard with the ancient Church of San Francesco on the side, a heritage of the state property. The main entrance is in the cloister area, under a wonderful ancient porch. The ground floor has several small rooms off a corridor with vaulted ceilings that leads to the main kitchen and magnificent dining room, built in the convent's winemaking area. These rooms also include a study, library, massage room and pantry. From the dining room, a characteristic staircase leads us to the basement, where we immerse ourselves in an ancient Etruscan cellar on two floors, dug into the tuff deep in the ground below, used to age the wine and preserve the cheese and oil. Most of the rooms in this beautiful property have vaulted ceilings. Through a beautiful staircase you reach the first floor with the traditional long central corridor with the monks' cells on both sides. These have been carefully renovated to offer four en suite double bedrooms and one with a large terrace. On the other wing there is a large master with a large living room and two en suite bedrooms. All the views of the rooms on the first floor offer suggestive sensations with an enchanting panoramic view. All surrounded by large colorful gardens and lavender scents with views of the surrounding hills and mountains. In complete privacy, the large 18-meter saltwater pool ideal for moments of relaxation and an area dedicated to yoga. The entire property is surrounded by land of 26 ha, of which 13 ha of forest and 13 ha of flat land, including some olive groves.

Immersed in the green hills of Tuscany, between the villages of Cetona and San Casciano dei Bagni where the Romans and Etruscans already established their settlements, we find this historic farmhouse from the 19th century which offers a corner of unique paradise. Just 2km from services, it is the ideal place for those who want a dream farmhouse in Tuscany; one can enter the property through a real oak park that leaves you breathless; from above it enjoys a panoramic view that extends from Città della Pieve to Monte Cetona, which protects the house on the north side. The last major renovation took place in the 2000s and the property is in an excellent state of conservation; at the entrance the dining room leads to the large kitchen with access to the external dining area, where under a vine leaves pergola we find the barbecue area. From the ground floor one can go down to the basement where the living room is located: a suggestive space created from the old stables where by choice the ceiling was left open up to the second floor to appreciate the entire height of the structure. Also in the basement we find a romantic lemon house which overlooks the garden and offers a comfortable place for the winter, with a bathroom and a study. On the ground floor we also find a bedroom with ensuite bathroom accessible from outside or inside via three steps. The first floor is connected both internally and externally via two stairs that reach two panoramic terraces. On this floor there is the sleeping area which is composed of a master bedroom with ensuite bathroom and balcony, a living area/library and a second bedroom with access to the terrace. The views from the windows are like natural paintings and the peace is absolute. In 2010, the annex was built which houses a small bedroom with bathroom on the first floor and a laundry area on the ground floor. In the park of over 4 hectares there is a large swimming pool and an olive grove with approx. 50 plants. A historic cellar and a small tool shed are also part of the property. Distances: 8km from San Casciano dei Bagni, 10km from central Sarteano to easily reach the motorway or highway; the house is also well connected to the Chiusi station, a stone's throw from the Val di Chiana and the Val d'Orcia; it is the ideal place to explore and experience central Italy, from Tuscany to Umbria.
