Villa In Vendita A Dicomano, Sandetole

Dicomano, in the Contea area, for sale a former convent transformed into a hospitality facility, immersed in the greenery of the valley crossed by the Sieve river.

The convent was built by the Franciscan friars in the second decade of the eighteenth century next to the ancient parish church of San Giovanni Battista, which was renovated and modernized at that time. The Franciscan friars were the generous custodians of the entire complex and enriched both the church and the convent with works of art. In the refectory, there remains a beautiful fresco depicting the Last Supper by the painter Ferdinando Folchi, dating back to the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Here, you can still find the ancient tables and the original stalls along with the pulpit for reading sacred texts. The small cloister within the structure houses an elegant well and a stone sink.

Hospitality has always been a valued tradition over the centuries and has played an important role in this convent. In the past, shepherds stopped here during transhumance from the Apennines and Casentino towards the Maremma. From that time, the large ”Camino dei Pastori” (Shepherds’ Path) is still visible in the convent.

Around the property, there are large green areas, including an Italian garden and a grove of oak trees.
