Historic villa dating from the 16th century, covering approximately 3178 square meters, used as a luxury relais with an ancient tower, private park of about 2.5 hectares, swimming pool, and jacuzzi in San Gimignano, in the heart of Chianti.

The prestigious property, with a total interior area of 3178 m², is an old country residence, now used as a luxury relais, comprising the main villa with the ancient medieval tower, a connected but independent annex, a wine cellar, garage, and tool shed, as well as many ancillary rooms in the basement. The relais features a charming inner cloister, bar, restaurant, and breakfast rooms with related services on the ground floor, as well as spacious and elegant common rooms with a fireplace and two bedrooms. A grand internal staircase or the lift provides access to the first floor, which has a terrace overlooking the cloister and a long corridor housing 20 bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms and wardrobes. The independent annex, connected to the main villa, contains 4 bedrooms, 2 on the ground floor and 2 on the first floor, 2 bathrooms, as well as a living room and kitchen.

Exterior Spaces

The residence is situated in its own private park of approximately 2.5 hectares, completely enclosed by an ancient wall. Inside, there is a charming Italian garden adorned with a rose garden, a large swimming pool with adjacent lawns, a wood with large Tuscan cypress trees, evergreen oaks, and centuries-old oaks, along with an ancient tabernacle. A large practical parking area is available for guests.

Condition and Finishes

The property enjoys considerable prestige and is in excellent condition. Original and reclaimed materials have been used in the renovation, and valuable architectural elements have been preserved, including cornices, jambs, columns, corbels, and strings. The stone, original floors, coffered ceilings, and numerous frescoes make the property unique. The bathrooms are more modern, featuring resin floors and glass showers with travertine marble walls. The former chapel and sacristy have been transformed into dining rooms, while retaining their original features. The tower, currently used as a suite, is particularly important. It includes a bedroom, bathroom, and relaxation room with a small hydromassage pool and a unique 360° panorama of the towers of San Gimignano, the countryside, and the surrounding small villages.

Usage Possibilities

Due to its panoramic position, practicality, and barycentric nature in relation to Florence and Siena, as well as its architectural features, the residence is certainly a property destined for tourism. However, it is possible, after requesting the appropriate urban planning permits, to transform the structure into a very representative private residence.

Location

Strategically located on a hillside with panoramic views of the Tuscan hills and the famous town of San Gimignano, situated just 2 km away, which is one of the most famous and characteristic villages in Tuscany. Only a 45-minute drive from Siena and Florence, with the airport located 64 km away.
