Building for Sale

We propose for sale a fascinating prestigious and historical manor house that today is used as a luxury relais. This property is located on a hill overlooking the town of San Gimignano – declared UNESCO Heritage Site.
The structure is the one of a typical Tuscan country house and was built as a convent for the Capuchin friars in 1587. Then it became the summer residence of a noble family from Florence. Thanks to the renovations along the years and the use of recycled materials, it is possible to admire high value architectural elements such as columns, stone frames, jambs, as well as the medieval feature of its towers.

The property is composed by the main house, an antique chapel and a beautiful pool, surrounded by a magnificent park with a 3,5 acres Italian-style garden.
The manor house develops on 2500 square metres and includes 16 rooms with private bathroom. Every room is distinguished by a different architectural feature: from the rustic style in the dependence to the double level in the tower.
On the ground floor there is the hotel hall with reception, the common rooms, the professional kitchen and three big dining rooms, one of which overlooks the garden and maintained the original environment of the antique chapel, to now deconsecrated.
Going up on the first floor, we find the area dedicated to guests, with many reading areas and a fireplace room, enriched by frescoes that remind the style of Villas in Siena.

At the centre of the structure there is a beautiful square-plan courtyard, with a porch that surrounds the perimeter, and inside it a beautiful well.
Under the courtyard, inside an antique cistern, a unique wine cellar has been built.

The tower was built in the 19th century and distinguishes itself for the colour of its stones. Today in the two upper floors there is a beautiful suite with bathroom and on the level above the relax room has a mini pool with hot tub and a unique 360 landscape on the little towns in the valley.

The dependence is connected directly to the main building and includes four rooms with bathroom.

Thanks to its panoramic and strategic position (50 km far from Firenze and Siena), the property could be perfect for tourism purposes. It is also possible (with the required planning authorisation) to transform the structure in a private luxury residence.
