Villa Sovicille

In the heart of the Sienese countryside, surrounded by woodland, rolling hills, and historic villages, lies this charming country estate of medieval origin. The property is set amid the beautiful countryside of Siena, approximately 15 km from the city, in one of Tuscany’s most authentic and highly regarded areas.

Its location offers peace and privacy while remaining within easy reach of some of the region’s most renowned destinations. Siena is just a short drive away, while San Gimignano, the Chianti region, Montepulciano, Florence, Pisa, and Lucca are ideal destinations for day trips dedicated to art, culture, food, and wine. This is an exceptional setting for those wishing to experience the most authentic side of Tuscany or invest in a property with excellent potential for hospitality use.

The estate extends over approximately 1,100 sqm and comprises four buildings, each with its own independent entrance. The property offers a total of 10 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. Each unit is self-contained and equipped with a kitchenette and independent heating.

The main building houses the estate’s communal areas. A spacious living room of approximately 90 sqm, located on the second floor, enjoys pleasant views over the surrounding countryside. Next to the professional kitchen are a bright indoor dining room and a covered outdoor dining area, ideal for enjoying convivial moments during the warmer months.

The interiors retain the distinctive character of traditional Tuscan residences, featuring exposed wooden beams, terracotta floors, stone walls, and three fireplaces. An authentic wine cellar further enhances the property’s historic atmosphere.

The origins of the estate date back to the 12th century. Between 2000 and 2009, the entire property underwent extensive and meticulous conservation work, including the complete restoration of all roofs.

The renovation was carried out with great respect for the original architecture, using local stone and preserving historic architectural elements and finishes dating from the 12th and 13th centuries. The restoration successfully maintained the identity and character of the buildings while integrating the systems and comforts required for contemporary living.

The property is surrounded by extensive private woodland, ensuring peace, privacy, and protection from overlooking. The garden features centuries-old olive trees, aromatic plants, and fruit trees.

A terracotta terrace of approximately 150 sqm, complete with a barbecue area, is located beside the ancient 12th-century wood-fired oven, which remains fully usable today. Illuminated patios, pathways, and traditional stone walls contribute to a beautifully maintained outdoor setting that blends seamlessly into the surrounding landscape.

The estate also includes two historic wells, three storage buildings for tools and equipment, and ample parking. The available outdoor space also offers the possibility of constructing an in-ground swimming pool.

The property is equipped with pellet heating and is connected to the municipal water supply and electricity network. Several water tanks collect rainwater for garden irrigation.

Currently operated as a high-end hospitality property, the estate could also be transformed into a prestigious private residence. Its multiple independent units make it particularly suitable for accommodating groups, as well as hosting retreats, courses, seminars, wellness activities, and private events.
