The independent annexe but connected to the main villa houses 4 rooms including 2 on the ground floor and 2 on the second floor, 2 bathrooms in addition to living room and kitchen.
Outdoor Spaces
The mansion is set in its own private park of about 2.5 hectares entirely bordered by an ancient boundary wall. Inside is the charming Italian garden embellished by the rose garden, the large swimming pool with adjacent lawn areas, the wood with tall Tuscan cypresses, holm oaks and centuries-old oaks and an ancient tabernacle. A large and convenient parking area is at the service of guests.
Condition and finishes
The property enjoys considerable value and is in excellent condition. Original and salvaged materials were used in the renovation, and valuable architectural elements were preserved, including cornices, jambs, columns, corbels and stringcourses. The stone, original floors, coffered ceilings and numerous frescoes make the property unique. The bathrooms are more modern, with resin floors and glass showers with travertine marble walls. The former chapel and sacristy have been converted into dining rooms, while retaining all the original features. Of particular importance is the tower, currently used as a suite and consisting of a bedroom, bathroom and relaxation room with a small pool with whirlpool and a unique 360-degree view of the towers of San Gimignano, the countryside and the small villages in the surrounding area.
Potential uses
Thanks to its panoramic position, convenient and barycentric with respect to Florence and Siena, and its architectural features, the mansion is definitely a tourist-oriented property. However, it is possible, after applying for the appropriate town planning permissions, to transform the structure back into a highly representative private residence.
Location
Strategic hillside location with panoramic views of the rolling Tuscan hills and the famous town of San Gimignano, just 2 km away and one of the most famous and characteristic villages of Tuscany.
