Torrantica A Montalcino, Der Einzige Renovierte Turm, Der Zum Verkauf Steht

This medieval watchtower makes an original bijou bolthole for personal use or as a rental investment in this pretty hilltop town.

Torrantica is a 13th century watchtower within the fortified town walls of Montalcino, a delightful medieval hilltop town in Tuscany.

The only fully intact medieval tower to have been restored for residential use in the area, it is now a one-bedroom property that is spread vertically over five floors, crowned by a roof terrace with magnificent panoramic views of the town and the surrounding countryside.

While the rich architectural heritage of the building has been preserved, the new interiors are a cheerful celebration of contemporary Italian minimalism. Each floor is dedicated to one room, with the bedroom at the bottom, then the bathroom, kitchen, sitting room and, finally, the roof terrace.

A steel and glass staircase was custom made and assembled on site, rising up through the tower, linking each floor and simultaneously showcasing both form and function. Similarly, the kitchen and sitting room floors are opaque glass on a steel frame that ensure a through-flow of light, enhanced by the windows on two sides.

Torrantica is a perfect small home that’s rich with history and, as such, is an excellent holiday rental investment. It’s a heritage property, protected by the Italian Authority for Art, and all viewings are by appointment through Specialitaly.

The property offers approximately 10 sqm of living space per floor (5 floors in total), complemented by a 12 sqm terrace.
The total gross floor area is 86 sqm.
A small, detached laundry room with a surface of approximately 5 sqm, is located within the historic town walls of Montalcino.
