A magnificent ancient hamlet of approximately 5700 square meters in total, with an old abbey to restore and 54 hectares of land, located in the hills overlooking the entire Mugello valley. Description Rich in history and charm, the main body, with a total area of 3200 m², consists of the important Medici abbey of 3206 m², rich in history, art, and charm, where the old church of 571 m², the monks' quarters, as well as the rooms for practices and daily monastic life, and the remains of the ancient cloisters supported by splendid 15th-century columns and capitals can be found. There are still ancient barrels and tools used by the monks for the production and preservation of wine and oil. Next to the various outbuildings, with a total area of 2500 square meters, there is a historical and evocative underground passage that connects the abbey to one of the outbuildings. The abbey dates back to 1084 and was built by Count Ugo di Toscana, who had gotten lost in the woods and swore to erect it if he were saved. After belonging to the Medici family for many centuries and generations, the monastery was fully restored in the early 18th century by Grand Duke Cosimo III, who entrusted it to a community of Trappists. It is at Buonsollazzo or 'Buonsolatio' that the first 'Trap' in Italy was founded, leading up to modern times when the Camaldolese established a college in the abbey, where several generations of monks received their initial training. The name 'Buonsollazzo' derives from the Latin 'bonum solacium' or 'Buonsolatio', which expresses a good exposure to the sun. Outdoor spaces The complex is immersed in a private land of no less than 54 hectares of woods and arable land and enjoys a magnificent view of the Mugello valley. Condition and finishes Most of the property is built with traditional materials and finishes such as brick and stone, with generally terracotta floors and wooden installations. The monastery needs careful restoration and conservation work and the other parts require functional adaptation work and reconstruction or renovation of the buildings. Potential uses The enchanting property lends itself very well, thanks to significant and careful restoration, to both a sumptuous private residence and an imposing and suggestive luxury accommodation establishment. Considering the possibility of obtaining EU funding, the uniqueness of the whole, the pre-existence of a tourist and hunting activity, even if it is amateur, the possibility of extending this activity by merging the adjacent lands, a club-house with accommodations could be built in the church and the monastery, and in the annexes, several other accommodations, a restaurant, and a hunting lodge. The location Strategic situation along the Via degli Dei, the famous road that connects Bologna to Florence, in the heart of the Florentine countryside, just minutes from the village of Borgo San Lorenzo and a short distance from the famous cities of Florence and Siena as well as the fascinating region of Chianti Classico.
