Hotel in Siena

Set atop a hill in the Val d’Orcia, in an incredibly panoramic location, hamlet with medieval castle for sale. The property (over 4,100 sqm) boasts numerous buildings that allow one to actually dive in what is for all intents and purposes a virtually unaltered medieval village. The buildings are in need of renovation but one could easily convert the complex into a luxury hotel with 37+ bedrooms.

HISTORY OF THE CASTLE

The castle is already documented in the 12th century as a property of the Salimbeni family, until it was bought by the Republic of Siena between 1250 and 1258. The keep became a valuable defensive position for Siena until the mid-16th century when Florence conquered the whole Tuscany and all the fortresses in the Sienese region lost their relevance. The hamlet became a farming estate, owned by the Piccolomini-Clementini family.

In Tuscany, in the province of Siena, prestigious wine estate with luxurious resort and Spa for sale. The property offers a total of 15 bedrooms for the guests, a modern wellness center with all the comforts, an ample vineyard (25.0 ha registered as Chianti DOCG, Orcia DOC and Toscana IGT) and a private truffle ground (5.0 ha).

The resort is just 5km away from a small town with all the services and a stone’s throw from the Trasimeno Lake (28km; 40’). The most beautiful historical city of Tuscany are also at hand: the Etruscan Montepulciano (21km; 35’), the papal Pienza (31km; 45’) and the medieval Montalcino (48km; 1h).

In the heart of the beautiful medieval city of Siena, at the entrance to Piazza del Campo, portion of a manorial palazzo for sale. The property (546 m²) was carefully renovated a few years ago, taking great care to keep the building's charm intact while adapting it to its new function. In fact, the property has been converted into an elegant accommodation business with 6 beautiful bedrooms and extremely refined interiors. In any case, there is nothing to prevent the property from being restored to its original purpose as a luxury private residence.

The palace is an imposing building dating back, at least of its original layout, to the 14th century, the home of an important Sienese family. Its modern appearance is the result of numerous expansions and remodels over the centuries, the last of which date back to the 19th century. Inside, the house retains most of its original finishes, with very high ceilings characterized by wooden beams, vaults and frescoes.

Access to the palace is from one of Siena’s main streets: crossing the condominium areas one arrives at the door of the dwelling. Entering one finds himself in a hallway with two technical rooms, service bathroom and storage room.

Going down a staircase, on the other hand, a corridor connects the first bedroom with bathroom, the wellness center (with sauna and Turkish bath) and leads to the reception area. From here one has access to a second bedroom with bathroom and the first suite (bedroom, bathroom and private living room). Continuing past the study you come to a small living room with an adjoining kitchen and still beyond to a further hallway that leads in turn to another suite (bedroom, bathroom and private living room), a bedroom with bathroom and a living room. From the hallway a glass staircase rises to a gallery that leads to the last bedroom with bathroom, characterized by a beautiful vaulted ceiling.
