A renovated apartment inside a historical building, nestled in the old centre of Catania in Sicily. The city of Catania lies at the foot of Mount Etna, between the towns of Messina and Syracuse.

In the Pisan hills, a historic residence and its garden overlooking the Tuscan landscape. The village of Lari can be seen from the windows of this residence nestled in the Pisan hills. The architecture is evident in the succession of rooms with high ceilings, in the fireplaces that structure the reception areas, and in the garden that encloses the property while allowing the landscape to enter. Within walking distance of the village, the villa benefits from its proximity to village life without sacrificing its tranquillity. The materials and volumes reflect a time when buildings were constructed slowly and with attention to detail. Living here means accepting the character of the place, its generous proportions, its roots in a still unspoilt Tuscan landscape. Between family life and hospitality projects, the residence lends itself to several uses without losing its identity, in the natural continuity of what it has always been: a house built to last.

In the Tuscan Mugello region, an 11th-century Medici abbey and its estate covering over 54 hectares. A thousand years of Tuscan history lie here, in the stones of a Medici abbey that has stood in Mugello since 1084. The Quattrocento cloisters, the nave of the church, the ornate columns: everything speaks of a time when architecture served to elevate the spirit. More than 54 hectares of rolling land extend beyond the building, offering a view of the valley that the monks once contemplated. The Via degli Dei passes nearby, reminding us that this place has always welcomed travellers, offering them a place to rest and meditate. The scale of the building calls for an ambitious transformation – into a residence, cultural space or contemporary retreat – but it is precisely this scale that gives it its power. Between restoration and reinvention, between monastic memory and life project, the abbey awaits someone who can combine respect for heritage with boldness of vision. This is not a place to visit: it is a place to experience.

Historic Agricultural Estate with Pool and Stables near Urbino Dating back to at least 1813, as documented in the Papal records, this agricultural estate combines a well-established agriturismo, a substantial private residence and modern equestrian facilities within approximately 24 hectares of rolling countryside near Urbino, one of the Marche region’s most celebrated historic towns. The property extends across approximately 626 sq.m., comprising the main farmhouse and a modern timber stable, all surrounded by approximately 24 hectares of agricultural land, woodland, fenced pasture and a swimming pool. Originally restored in 2005, the estate today offers a combination of residential accommodation, guest facilities and generous outdoor spaces, providing the flexibility to continue the existing agriturismo business or develop a variety of lifestyle and agricultural projects. Main Building The main farmhouse extends across approximately 626 sq.m. and is currently divided between the agriturismo accommodation and the owners’ private residence. The hospitality section extends to approximately 380 sq.m. and comprises 4 independent guest apartments, while the private accommodation occupies approximately 246 sq.m.. Although the owners’ residence is currently arranged as 2 separate apartments, it was originally conceived as a single home and can easily be restored to its original layout. The building unfolds over 2 levels, where private and guest accommodation are carefully organised to ensure both independence and functionality. Ground Floor: On the right side of the building is the owners’ apartment. The layout comprises a kitchen and dining room with a thermo-fireplace, a living room, a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a guest WC. A technical room and laundry are accessed independently from the outside. Although currently arranged as a self-contained apartment, this level can easily be reconnected to the first floor to recreate the original two-storey residence. On the left side of the building, the hospitality accommodation comprises 2 independent guest apartments. The first apartment is arranged as a studio, with the kitchen, dining area and living room forming an open-plan space alongside a partially screened bed area. A bathroom designed for disabled accessibility completes the layout. The second apartment includes a kitchen and dining room with a traditional stove, a cosy sitting room, a living room that can easily be adapted as an additional bedroom, a principal bedroom, a bathroom and a small mezzanine that can accommodate an extra bed when required.

The Annexes Complementing the main farmhouse is a 210 sq.m. timber stable, constructed in 2010 by Rubner, a company renowned for its expertise in wooden houses . Designed to support equestrian activities, the building comprises 7 horse boxes, a hay storage area, a tack room and a changing room with bathroom and shower facilities, providing practical spaces for the day-to-day management of horses. Immediately in front of the stable lies a level area of land with existing water and electricity connections already in place. This space offers interesting potential for the creation of camper pitches or a small glamping area, subject to the necessary planning approvals, further expanding the estate’s hospitality opportunities. Technical Facilities The farmhouse underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2005, during which ventilated foundations were introduced and the roof was insulated in accordance with the construction standards of the period. The equestrian stable was added in 2010, while a 16.1 kW photovoltaic system was installed on its roof in 2011, contributing to the property’s energy efficiency. Heating is provided by a centralised gas boiler, serving the entire estate. The owners’ apartment on the ground floor benefits from underfloor heating and a thermo-fireplace, while radiators serve the remaining apartments, including the upper level of the private residence. Four fireplaces are distributed throughout the guest and private accommodation, complemented by a traditional stove in one of the guest apartments. The property is supplied by both mains water and a private well.

The result is a masterpiece carved from the warm local limestone that absorbs the golden sunlight, enhanced by three historic cisterns hewn from the rock. The experience begins along the majestic 200mq (2,153 sq. ft) private driveway, set within a park of over 10,000 sqm (2.47 acres) that guarantees complete privacy. The main building reveals a sumptuous main floor dominated by a monumental hall; from here, large windows lead to a spectacular main terrace and two intimate loggias, suspended above the landscape. But it is upon ascending to the bedroom housed within the tower that the property reveals its greatest secret: a 360° view encompassing the whole of south-eastern Sicily, stretching as far as the blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea and Portopalo di Capo Passero. The villa's welcoming atmosphere is most evident on the lower level, where the dining room and kitchen open directly onto the outdoors. Here, life moves outdoors, amongst shaded areas for summer lunches and the magnificent swimming pool, a watery oasis set within the belvedere. To ensure a perfect welcome, the old stables have been converted into a self-contained annexe, complete with a study, a kitchen featuring an antique stone oven, and three exclusive bedrooms. Set within the context of Noto - now a dynamic UNESCO cultural centre of international standing and just 8 km from the crystal-clear sea - this property represents the ideal balance between the tranquillity of a private retreat and proximity to Syracuse and Catania Airport. An unforgettable home, designed to be lived in, cherished and passed down through the generations.
