Perfectly Restored Turnkey Palazzo In Sarteano

Once in a lifetime chance to own the birth place of Pope Pio III, immaculately restored, turnkey, and just a stone’s throw from the piazza with 3 large bedroom suites, kitchen, living/dining room and reception room. Palazzo Pio III has been recently restored and it is located in the heart of the historic center of Sarteano (Siena), between the World Heritage site of the Val d’Orcia and the Valdichiana.

This Palazzo was the birthplace of Pope Pius III (Francesco Todeschini Piccolomini, 1439-1503) and is located a few steps away from the town’s main square. Hidden in a small side street the entrance welcomes you with an enchanting travertine portal carved in bas-relief with floral motifs and the crests of the Piccolomini-Todeschini family. Inside there are three large suites with luxury bathrooms, reception room and a living / relaxing area created in the ancient cellars where a cave has been unearthed that seems to be an ancient secret passage that led to the castle.

The property is currently being used as a luxury bed and breakfast business but could work equally well as a private residence. Accommodation: Ground floor - Entrance hall with storage room and cloakroom. Lower ground floor: Large sitting room with dining area, kitchen with access to external courtyard, cloakroom and study/sitting area with glass floor exposing the secret passageway to the castle. First floor: Bedroom 1 with en suite bathroom with spa, Bedroom 2 with sitting area and fireplace, bathroom en suite. Second floor: Master suite with sitting area and impressive en suite bathroom.
