Boutique Hotel Relais

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.

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 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 hills on the border between Umbria and Lazio, on the banks of the Tiber River, 150.8-hectare estate with Agriturismo for sale. The property includes numerous buildings (over 2,600 m²): the restored buildings are used to accommodate guests, but there are also three large villas in need of renovation that could greatly increase the farm's profitability. At the production level, the estate counts on an olive grove (1,000 trees) and 78 ha of arable land.

Basic services are available in the nearby village (3km; 5’), just past the Tiber River, where there is also a convenient train station that makes it possible to reach Rome in about an hour. The border location is very convenient as it ensures a quick connection also to many art centers of Central Italy (Montepulciano, Amelia, Città della Pieve, Bolsena, Todi...).

In the Chianti hills, not far from Figline Valdarno and Greve, ancient medieval abbey for sale. The property needs complete renovation but lends itself very well both as a potential luxury home and as a starting point for an exclusive boutique hotel.

The abbey is spread over three levels (totaling 5,000 m² – 53,800 ft²). The property, characterized by its old and very imposing stone walls covered with climbing ivy, has several entrances, two large cloisters (one with an original well) and a large, partly covered terrace overlooking the cloister and the valley.

In the part reserved for the church are stone floors, beautiful vaults and exposed beams. In front of the apse part of the ancient altar is still visible. The rooms are spacious and fully preserve their historicity.

In the wing used as living quarters there is a fireplace and frescoed walls, two living rooms, one with exposed beams and the other with vaulted ceilings, both embellished with large ancient fireplaces; next to it is an old office space. One of the rooms features beamed ceilings and some of the decorations are still visible. The large kitchen lends itself to either becoming a private eat-in kitchen or being converted into a professional kitchen for a hospitality business.

The most striking part is the cellar, characterized by beautiful columns, vaulted ceilings and floors made of stone slabs.

In a third wing are the old stables, also with vaulted ceilings. In a fourth wing are a large office/living room with a more modern fireplace, a kitchen equipped with an ancient fireplace, a large bedroom and a library with vaulted ceilings and frescoes.

Also near the abbey are two large farmhouses (1,600 m² – 17,216 ft²), which are entirely in need of renovation but have great potential for development in the tourist sense as well.

All around the abbey and the farmhouses is a large expanse of land (about 14,000 m²) that could be transformed into a beautiful garden with an event area and pool. The remaining part of the estate (about 100.0 ha) is covered almost entirely by woods (89.1 ha) with some open glades scattered at various points of the estate (about 10.9 ha).

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.

This luxury villa is nestled on the Marche hills between the Apennines and the Adriatic Sea, in a very quiet and convenient location. The property is made up of an elegant manorial villa (8 bedrooms), a guesthouse (2 bedrooms + 2 garages) and a small private chapel, and is currently managed as a boutique hotel. Further enriching the property are a beautiful panoramic swimming pool overlooking the valley and a hobby vineyard (1.6 ha).

The manorial villa (495 m² – 5,326 ft², 8 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms) is laid over three floors and include both the restaurant and the guest bedrooms. On the ground floor, where once were the cellars of the villa, is nowadays an elegant breakfast room with professional kitchen and guest bathrooms. On the rear are a few rooms for the staff, including a dressing room and a bathroom. On the first floor, the main staircase open into a central hallway leading directly into two living rooms and the first bedroom with its own sitting room and private bathroom. The living rooms, in turn, leads into three more guest bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom. Going further up, the second floor is made up of a central sitting room opening into four more bedrooms with their own private bathroom. Right next to the villa is a small outbuilding (55 m² – 592 ft²) with oven, firewood shelter and a storage room.

The building has been recently restored trying to preserve the original charm unaltered. The restaurant has been created inside the old cellars and here one can still see the brick walls and the ceilings supported by wooden beams. On the upper floors, the villa features a more noble style with terracotta floors, elegant bathrooms and decorations typically found in manorial countryside villas. Walls are plastered and/or tiled with lightly-colored ceramic tiles: this makes the property very bright and welcoming thanks to the fact that light can easily bounce inside the rooms.

A short distance from the villa is an independent house (210 m² – 2,260 ft², 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom), used by the owners as their private home and made up of a spacious living room with fireplace, kitchen, two bedrooms and bathroom. On the ground floor are three spacious rooms used as storages, but potentially convertible into a wine cellar. Right next to the house is a small storage (15 m² – 161 ft²).

Beyond the road, not far from the villa, is a restored charming chapel (60 m² – 646 ft²) usable for private ceremonies.

Just outside Lucca, in an extremely convenient location, stately 16th-century villa for sale. The building, in excellent condition, is now used as a location for events but the generous interior dimensions and the presence of many rooms to be used as guest rooms make it very suitable as a luxury boutique hotel.

The manor house (2,275 m² – 24,479 ft², 14 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms) is an imposing Renaissance building with a square plan, datable to the years between the 15th and 16th centuries and structured on five levels:

• Basement: historic cellars, woodshed, ironing room, service kitchen and two small independent apartments suitable for staff (living area, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom);
• Ground floor: large reception room, library, beautiful frescoed loggia, kitchen, formal dining room and three bedrooms with private bathroom;
• First floor: reception hall, ballroom, four sitting rooms, three bedrooms and two bathrooms /the whole floor was frescoed in the 17th century);
• Second floor: living room, ample live-in kitchen, six bedrooms and three bathrooms;
• Third floor: partially habitable attics.

The rooms of the villa are entirely frescoed and decorated with remarkable wall paintings and still have most of the original finishes including the original marble and terracotta floors, vaulted ceilings on the lower floors and decorative relief elements.
