Just outside a medieval town in the province of Lucca, period villa with park, manorial chapel and swimming pool for sale. The property, dating back to the 16th century, consists of several buildings including a guesthouse and the old barn for a total of over 1,800 m². The villa is in need of some restoration work, while the guesthouse is in excellent condition and regularly rented out to tourists and holidaymakers. The property is completed by 5.8 hectares of land with park, small vineyard and 100 olive trees.

The property is in a very convenient location, less than one kilometer from basic services and less than twenty minutes’ drive from the historic center of Lucca. The location also makes it possible to reach Florence quickly (1h 15’) and from here all of Italy thanks to the extensive rail and road connections.

In the hills of Umbria, not far from Umbertide and Città di Castello, rural hamlet with boutique hotel for sale. The heart of the property is a large rustic building (877 m² – 9,436 ft², 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms), dating in its present appearance to the 18th century but built around a 16th-century fortified tower. The building was entirely renovated in the early 2000s, paying particular attention to maintaining original finishes wherever possible, and was then divided into four guest apartments:

• Apartment Perugia (251 m² – 2,701 ft²): entrance hall, double living room, dining room, kitchen and three bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms;
• Apartment Todi (223 m² – 2,399 ft²): entrance hall: living room, dining room, kitchen and two bedrooms with en-suite bathroom;
• Apartment Narni (217 m² – 2,335 ft²): entrance hall, living/dining room, kitchen, service bathroom and two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms (one with exclusive terrace);
• Apartment Spoleto (186 m² – 2,001 ft²): entrance hall, living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom with en-suite bathroom and two bedrooms with shared bathroom.

A short distance from the main body are the totally independent guesthouses (104 m² – 1,119 ft², 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms), which house two more apartments:

• Apartment Foligno (36 m² – 387 ft²): living room, dining room with open kitchen and bedroom with en-suite bathroom;
• Apartment Passignano (68 m² – 732 ft²): living room, dining room, kitchenette and bedroom with en-suite bathroom.

Also within the grounds are an aristocratic chapel (28 m² – 301 ft²), a small gym/fitness area (23 m² – 247 ft²) and a rural outbuilding (11 m² – 118 ft²) with an oven and water cistern.

Perched on a hill near Arezzo, with breathtaking views of the entire Valdichiana and Lake Trasimeno, an 11th-century medieval castle for renovation for sale. The building (3,000 m² – 32,280 ft²) is built around a charming central courtyard with a well and comprises three main levels plus the tower, which has an additional floor (for a total of 46 rooms). The building is currently only partially renovated, and a portion on the ground floor is occasionally used as living quarters. The rest of the building has undergone some consolidation and restoration works in the past years, but these have not been completed.

The castle has large halls with very high ceilings, a stately appearance and with most of the finishes still intact. The floors of some sections were entirely dismantled during the work, and the terracotta tiles are all preserved for future repositioning. The ceilings feature typical wooden beams on the upper floors and beautiful brick vaults on the lower levels.

Two ruined buildings (about 500 m² – 5,380 ft²) could be restored together with the castle to create an independent guest house or common spaces for ceremonies and events.

The property is enhanced by an elegant 8,000-m² English-style park that rests on the castle wall and offers unparalleled views of the Valdichiana. This open space is perfect for ceremonies and weddings and could easily accommodate a swimming pool. Access is via a quaint tree-lined driveway that climbs up the hill from the public road.

To the rear of the building then lies a large olive grove (about 2.3 hectares) and a large forest (11.4 ha) that could be used as a source of income by cutting wood.

In the historic center of Sansepolcro, along Via XX Settembre and a stone's throw from Piazza Torre di Berta, elegantly renovated 120-m² apartment for sale. The dwelling is located on the second and third floor of the building and is accessible via condominium staircase. 

Upon entering one finds a large open-plan living room with an open kitchen. A small hallway houses the staircase and gives access to an office space (easily convertible into a bedroom) and the bathroom. Going up the internal staircase you reach the upper floor that houses the master bedroom with private bathroom, a second room (also usable as a bedroom) and a laundry room.

In the Casentino countryside, in a hilly and panoramic position about 30 minutes from Arezzo, rural estate with farm outbuildings and olive grove for sale. The characteristics of the property make it suitable both as a country home and as a main residence, thanks to its excellent accessibility. The presence of the farmland and olive grove provides privacy and tranquility, as well as the possibility of carrying out a hobby farming activity, producing oil for family use. A renovation of the outbuildings would allow them to be enhanced according to one's needs.

The farmhouse (285 m² – 3,070 ft², 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms), renovated between 2007 and 2011, is currently used as a vacation home, rented weekly as an independent villa. The building is arranged on three levels:

• Ground floor: rooms used as wine cellar and storage, as well as a technical room/heating plant. On the side facing the swimming pool is a loggia, with a centuries-old oak tree next to it that offers shelter from the summer heat.
• First floor: also accessible via a double external stone staircase leading to a covered landing. It includes living room, kitchen with direct external access via a stone staircase, a bedroom and a bathroom. From the entrance hallway there is internal access to the ground floor via trapdoor and to the second floor.
• Second floor: living room with large windows, three bedrooms and a bathroom.

In the large lawn there is a panoramic 13 × 5 m swimming pool (built in 2011) with nearby a pool house (38 m² – 409 ft²) equipped with a Jacuzzi, fitness equipment and a bathroom. On the roof of the building, a panoramic solarium has been carved out.

Near the villa there are two outbuildings to be renovated. The main outbuilding (320 m² – 3,443 ft²) has two floors: the basement is used as a storage, while the ground floor contains a stable, barn and shed. Adjacent to the building is an old wood-burning oven. On the upstream side of the barn, on the other hand, there is a shed (88 m² – 947 ft²) that is very useful as a shelter for vehicles.

The property focuses on the production of grapes (up to 200 tons / year) which are then processed by a third party. By restoring the buildings (400 m²) one could create private wine cellar to process grapes autonomously and produce up to 170,000 bottles of wine / year (1,275 hl).

The services are all available in nearby town (1 km, also on foot) and from the property it is possible to reach the most famous art cities of Tuscany in little more than an hour (Florence, San Gimignano, Monteriggioni, Siena, Pisa, Montalcino...).

On the Chianti Classico hills, a short distance from San Casciano in Val di Pesa and Florence, an 41.9-hectare estate with vineyards (24.8 ha), olive grove (6.1 ha) and manorial villa. The property focuses on the production of grapes (with the possibility of creating a wine cellar in the buildings to be restored) and olive oil, but one could also focus on developing the estate for tourism and accommodation purposes by restoring the manorial villa and its annexes.

The services are all available in the village where the villa is located (100 m, also on foot) and from the property it is possible to reach the most famous art cities of Tuscany in little more than an hour (Florence, San Gimignano, Monteriggioni, Siena, Pisa, Montalcino...).

In the heart of the historic center of Arezzo, where Via Cavour meets Corso Italia, elegant apartment for sale inside the prestigious Palazzo dei Bacci. The building, one of the most important in the city, dates back to the 13th century and still preserves extraordinary architectural elements, including large portico arches, remains of trefoil windows, and a vaulted atrium frescoed with a Christ the Redeemer attributed to the school of Spinello Aretino (14th–15th century). The building is listed by the Soprintendenza due to its great historical and artistic value.

On the ground floor, crossing the condominium entrance hall (characterized by a beautiful vaulted ceiling with original frescoes), one arrives at a characteristic condominium courtyard which in turn gives access to two storage rooms: the smaller one (5 m² – 54 ft²) has already been renovated, while the second (24 m² – 258 ft²) needs some work.
