Hospitality extends to the guesthouse, bright and divided into independent suites, and to the charming theatre, a versatile volume located in front of the villa intended for events or meditation moments, completed by additional luxury suites.
Condition and Finishes
The property has undergone a complete and flawless renovation recently with extraordinary rigor. The restoration was entirely based on the principles of bio-architecture and biocompatibility, with the skillful use of lime for the walls that has preserved and revealed the original 19th-century plasters, creating a warm and authentic atmosphere. Every detail, from noble materials of Tuscan tradition to modern photovoltaic systems, was designed to offer maximum contemporary comfort while respecting the environment and history.
External Spaces
The outdoor areas are a true tribute to the Tuscan landscape, covering approximately 11.7 hectares of land. In addition to a landscaped park with fruit trees, aromatic plants, and a splendid stone solarium pool, the estate boasts a large productive olive grove and an active natural truffle orchard producing the prized white truffle. The surrounding woods and arable land provide unparalleled privacy. There is also the possibility of acquiring additional adjoining vineyard land to expand agricultural production.
Potential Uses
The property offers extraordinary versatility. Ideal as a private residence of absolute exclusivity, the land provides concrete opportunities to expand agricultural activities.
