Borgo in the Crete Senesi: Historic residence with pool, spa, and olive groves

In the heart of the Crete Senesi, in a panoramic and completely private location, Il Borgo is a property of extraordinary charm where history, nature, and hospitality coexist in a unique setting. About 28 minutes from Siena’s historic center and immersed in the most authentic Tuscan landscape, the property is reached via a picturesque country road leading to the heart of the complex.

Il Borgo is developed around two clusters of buildings, set within a large estate and organized into several independent residential units.

The first complex is preceded by an elegant cypress-lined avenue and includes the ancient main residence, dating back to the 18th century, once a convent and later a hotel. The building retains its historical character and today represents an important opportunity for restoration and customization. This cluster also includes several residential units, service rooms, cellars, and garages, an old private olive mill with adjoining spaces for processing and storing olives, as well as a fully renovated apartment, currently the owners’ residence.

Completing this part of the property is a charming private chapel, dating back to the 13th century, a testament to the site’s historical and architectural value.

A short distance away is the second cluster, a small rural village composed of five independent apartments, totaling about 560 sqm and 35 beds. Each unit has its own entrance and has been carefully restored, preserving traditional elements and adding fine furnishings to create elegant, welcoming spaces full of character.

Common areas further expand the property’s potential uses: the old stables now house spaces dedicated to socializing and leisure, including large lounges with fireplaces, hobby rooms, a dining room, and a billiard room.

Outside, the landscape becomes an integral part of the experience. The property features a large private pool with a whirlpool, surrounded by greenery and accessible via a characteristic stone staircase. Another unique feature is the thermal area carved into the rock, with pools and interconnected rooms. The presence of water may vary throughout the year but remains a distinctive aspect of the complex.

Outdoor amenities include a service area with changing rooms, a playground, bocce court, ping pong, and a large panoramic area dedicated to socializing, furnished with garden furniture, a barbecue, and a wood-fired oven.

The estate covers about 200 hectares, including approximately 45 hectares of organic olive groves, whose extra virgin olive oil production can be processed directly in the property’s private mill.

The complex’s unique layout allows for multiple uses: a prestigious private residence, a home for multiple families, a hospitality facility, or a project combining private living, hospitality, and events.

An additional point of interest is the option to consider acquiring the real estate together with the entire agricultural business. The two components can be purchased separately, giving the buyer the flexibility to choose the solution that best fits their project.

Location: Siena historic center 28 min; Siena train station 25 min; Monte Oliveto Maggiore Abbey 10 min; Crete Senesi 20 min; Florence Airport 80 min; Marina di Punta Ala 120 min.

Il Borgo is a rare property that combines the charm of a historic residence with the freedom of an entire estate, in the heart of one of Tuscany’s most captivating areas.
