Completely renovated in 2012, the house retains its natural stone facades around a typical terracotta courtyard that leads to the main residence and 8 guest apartments.

One of the guest apartments was recovered from a former chapel with an original wooden truss and a charming open loft space with a bedroom. All bathrooms have modern features and travertine marble tiling. A building overlooking the inner courtyard is a playroom but can be converted into an additional guest residence. An in-ground outdoor swimming pool can also be added. The riding center consists of a main stable with 16 boxes and saddlery, plus outbuildings and canopies with additional stalls in the paddock areas. In the heart of Tuscany, south of Florence, near the most important Chianti Classico estates and wineries, just minutes from the historic center of Siena with its extraordinary 14th-century Gothic cathedral and the Piazza del Campo with the Torre del Mangia where, twice a year, in the summertime, the unique Palio horse race takes places.
