Located along one of the main thoroughfares in the historic center of San Gimignano, this prestigious historic palace is available for sale. Requiring renovation, the property offers a total area of approximately 1,000 square meters arranged over four floors.
Originally built as a convent and later transformed into an elegant noble residence, the building features three free sides and three independent entrances. Entering through the main entrance on Via San Giovanni, a large doorway opens onto a spacious hallway leading to the picturesque internal courtyard, enhanced by high vaulted ceilings, as well as to the historic staircase providing access to the upper floors.
The property’s considerable investment potential is further highlighted by its existing internal layout, which already comprises ten apartments distributed from the first to the fourth level. The first floor houses the original master residence, distinguished by large windows overlooking the main street and enriched by a private chapel that is still consecrated today. As one moves towards the upper floors, the interiors benefit from excellent natural light thanks to terraces and balconies, offering highly evocative panoramic views over the rooftops of the town.
The street level includes a craft workshop with a separate entrance and direct access to a magnificent private and exclusive courtyard of approximately 100 square meters. This outdoor area, easily accessible and fully owned by the property, is a true rarity in the town’s historic center, offering a wide range of potential uses and development opportunities. The building’s ancient foundations also accommodate cellars and storage rooms, preserving the property’s authentic historic character. Generous spaces, architectural prestige, multiple residential units and the presence of the rare private courtyard make this palace a truly unique real estate opportunity in San Gimignano. STATE OF REPAIR The property requires complete renovation.
