Boutique Hotel Relais

This resort is a breathtaking historical dwelling dating back to the year 1000, majestically located between Siena and Monteriggioni. This prestigious property represents an invaluable resource for the territory, offering the impression of being immersed in a natural park where human architecture and nature seamlessly blend. The estate encompasses a total of 51.7 hectares, featuring roughly 2.0 hectares of fenced grounds and 49 hectares of lush woodland. Access to the property is gained via an ancient road accredited as part of the complex network of the Via Francigena.

The complex underwent a meticulous renovation between 2007 and 2013 with the goal of creating a high-quality structure that fully integrates into its unique environmental context. The heart of the residence is a stunning internal courtyard that features a perfectly functional wood-burning oven and provides access to the primary living quarters. Accommodations consist of eight elegant suites that combine historical charm with modern comfort, featuring stone and brick walls, wooden beamed ceilings, and country-chic furnishings. These include four standard suites, two luxury suites equipped with fireplaces, and two expansive prestige suites that offer two bathrooms each. Additionally, a separate autonomous villa dominates the property, offering a large living room with a fireplace on the ground floor and two bedrooms on the upper level.

The estate is fully equipped for luxury hospitality and exclusive events, boasting a panoramic 10 × 6 m swimming pool and terrace that offer breathtaking views of Siena and the surrounding hills. Culinary excellence is found at the internal restaurant which serves traditional Tuscan dishes using seasonal ingredients from the property’s own organic garden. For wellness, the SPA has been masterfully carved into the historic dungeons, providing an indoor heated pool with hydromassage, a sauna, a Turkish bath, and emotional showers. Event capabilities are anchored by the eventhall, a structure capable of hosting 120 people, with approved plans already in place to replace it with a sophisticated glass and metal structure to further enhance the landscape.

In the heart of the historic center of Umbertide, a few steps from the Tiber River course, this charming independent historic palazzo from sky to ground represents a rare find in terms of size, location, and historical-architectural value.

The property develops over five levels for a total area of 773 m², plus a large private garden of about 1,000 m² that extends to directly touch the banks of the Tiber, offering a context of absolute suggestion and uniqueness.

On the basement floor, there are very charming rooms with vaulted ceilings, in direct connection with the garden. At this level, the original foundation of the tower belonging to the historic Porta della Campana is still visible, testimony of the 14th-century defensive system of the village.

The building has benefited from important structural interventions, including the complete rebuilding of the roof and the restoration of the façade. The structure is in good preservation condition, while the interiors require renovation, thus offering great possibilities for customization based on the final use. A project for subdivision into multiple housing units is already available, making the property particularly interesting also as an investment.

Architecturally and decoratively, the palace retains high-value elements, including frescoed rooms, original terracotta and antique graniglia flooring, a scenographic central staircase protruding in serena stone with elegant Art-Nouveau wrought iron railings, as well as original fixtures and doors.

Additional external spaces of high value complete the property: two terraces on the second and third floors overlooking the garden and the riverwalk, as well as a panoramic top-level terrace with suggestive views of the village and the surrounding hills. The recently redeveloped attic hosts three rooms also overlooking a landscape context of considerable charm.

This is a prestigious solution, ideal both as a private residence of high standing and as an operation for real estate enhancement in one of the most authentic contexts of Umbria, just a few steps from the central square of Umbertide.

In the hills of Umbria, not far from Perugia and in an area of rare beauty, impressive estate with medieval abbey for sale. The numerous buildings on the estate largely need restoration work, but the property boasts incredible development potential with the possibility of creating a high-level accommodation business (over 150 potential bedrooms) combined with the agricultural activity already in place.

The heart of the property is the beautiful 10th-century Benedictine abbey (over 6,500 m²). The building rose on the remains of a pre-existing Roman temple and reached its peak around the 12th century. Over the years, various bequests and donations meant that the abbey came to exert its influence over more than thirty towns and twenty castles in the Perugia area. The cloister and church visible today were built in the 13th century, and during the same period the same buildings were embellished with fine art and furnishings. Crisis began to set in at the end of the 14th century, and the abbey slowly became depopulated, until in 1602 it became the focal point of a large farm.

A group of Cistercian monks came to the abbey in 1749 and remained there continuously until the Unification of Italy, when the property was expropriated and sold.

The interior of the abbey still features original elements of rare beauty: the chapter house houses beautiful religious-themed frescoes from the late 13th century, while the church (dating back to the 14th century) still has the original altars decorated with frescoes by Bartolomeo Caporali and Fiorenzo di Lorenzo. In the basement, however, is the crypt, which is, to date, the oldest part of the abbey.

In the grounds of the abbey there are also 50 rustic buildings including farmhouses and agricultural outbuildings (over 27,000 m²): some of these (around twenty) have been renovated over the years and are in excellent condition, while the remaining ones are in need of restoration, consolidation and renovation. At the same time, the Master Plan of the Municipality of Perugia would allow the construction of new volumes within some areas of the property (roughly equal to those already existing) intended for tourist and accommodation activities.

On the hills of Chianti, not far from Castelnuovo Berardenga and Radda, 102.1-ha wine estate with manor villa and hamlet to be restored for sale. The property, which boasts an incredible history ranging from the Middle Ages to the present day, offers great potential for receptive tourist development to go hand in hand with wine production: in fact, the farm exploits 28.5 ha of vineyards to produce about 130,000 bottles of wine per year.

The renovation of the various buildings (over 4,500 m² in total) would pave the way for the creation of a luxury boutique hotel in a very renowned area of Tuscany, less than an hour from Florence and Siena: the convenient location and beautiful spaces (both indoor and outdoor) would also allow the property to be exploited not only for seasonal rentals but also as a location for events, ceremonies, conferences and corporate conventions.

Basic services are available in the nearby medieval village (1km; 2’) while for everything else you just need to reach Siena, less than half an hour's drive away. Tuscany’s best-known art cities (Monteriggioni, San Gimignano, Pienza, Montepulciano...) can all be reached in just an hour by car.

Set at the foot of the majestic Mount Etna, in one of the most evocative landscapes of Sicily, this 11.3-ha country estate captures the authentic soul of the island while potentially offering an elegant and comfortable lifestyle. Surrounded by rolling vineyards and open countryside, the property enjoys a privileged position with sweeping views that stretch across the fertile slopes of the volcano and, in the distance, toward the shimmering waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

The heart of the estate is a beautiful historic country home where traditional Sicilian character meets tasteful contemporary elements. Carefully preserved architectural elements, mostly dating back to the Hispanic domination of Sicily, evoke the charm of the past, while modern comforts ensure a living experience defined by both sophistication and tranquility. The atmosphere is one of timeless elegance, where every space has been thoughtfully designed to enhance the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Some parts of the property require extensive restoration work, particularly in the areas that were once used as cellars: these feature beautiful rustic rooms with very high ceilings and traditional elements (including a perfectly preserved palmento) and could easily be brought back to a usable condition. The large basement space below has been renovated and converted into a beautiful event space, which can also be used as a wine cellar as needed.

Complementing the main residence is a charming bed & breakfast (7 apartments for a total of 18 beds), perfectly integrated into the estate. This welcoming accommodation provides an ideal opportunity to host guests seeking the authentic experience of Etna’s countryside, while at the same time creating a natural source of supplementary income. The atmosphere is intimate and warm, combining rustic authenticity with the comforts expected by modern travelers. On the roof of the building, you’ll find a beautiful panoramic terrace (over 350 m²) with a view of the sea on one side and Mount Etna on the other.

Extending around the residence are approximately 8.1 hectares of prestigious Etna DOC vineyards (Alicante and Syrah), a remarkable feature that places the estate within one of Italy’s most celebrated wine territories. The vineyard not only enhances the visual appeal of the property but also represents a valuable agricultural asset, offering the possibility of producing wines that reflect the distinctive volcanic terroir of the Etna region. The remaining surface of the estate (roughly 4,0 ha) is cultivated with cherries and olive grove (Nocellara dell’Etna and San Benedettese cultivars).

An approved project for the construction of a swimming pool further enriches the estate, promising the creation of a secluded outdoor retreat immersed in greenery. Once completed, this space will ensure the perfect setting for relaxation, where one can enjoy the Sicilian sun while overlooking the surrounding vineyards and countryside.

Thanks to its unique setting, its historic charm and the presence of a productive vineyard together with accommodation facilities, this property represents not only a remarkable private residence but also an outstanding lifestyle investment. Here, at the foot of Mount Etna, one can fully embrace the beauty, culture, and traditions that make Sicily one of the most captivating destinations in the Mediterranean.

In the hills of Tuscany, just outside a village less than half an hour from Florence, historical villa converted into a boutique hotel with swimming pool and wellness center. The building (2,230 m², renovated in 2015) now offers 22 guest bedrooms, a restaurant with outdoor space and beautifully decorated halls for events and ceremonies. The 3.8 hectares of land include an elegant Italian garden, swimming pool area with solarium and a large olive grove.

All services are available in the nearby village (1 km; 2') and the historical center of Florence is about 25' drive away.

On the edge of a well-known village on the shores of Lake Trasimeno, in Umbria but not far from Tuscany, boutique hotel for sale. The property has been tastefully renovated by the current pro-owners and is in full operation with 11 guest bedrooms, a gourmet restaurant and wellness center. The 18,000-m² park surrounding the villa includes an elegant Italian garden, a small vineyard and several olive trees.

The hotel is fully functional, with a loyal clientele that guarantees excellent results, thanks in particular to a well-equipped wellness center and a restaurant with high quality products of local and non-local origin.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS

The villa (894 m² – 9,619 ft², 11 bedrooms and 15 bathrooms) is a large late 19th-century Art Nouveau building, originally the private residence of a local noblewoman and later converted into a boutique hotel. All floors are connected by a convenient lift in addition to the central staircase.

The ground floor of the building is destined for the common areas for guests: here we find a small shop for the property's products, restaurant with a professional kitchen and equipped veranda, reception for the hotel, service bathrooms, the wellness center (with sauna, changing room, whirlpool area and bath) and relaxation area with an indoor pool and solar greenhouse. In a corner of the ground floor, with independent access from outside, is the first bedroom with private bathroom.

The first floor is divided into two wings: on the left are two guest suites, each consisting of a living area, bedroom and bathroom; on the right is a large apartment (which could be rented but also used by the owners) consisting of a large living area with dining area, kitchen, private office space and two bedrooms with private bathrooms.

Going further up, one arrives at the second floor: on the left there are again two guest suites, each consisting of a private living room, bedroom and bathroom; on the right are two bedrooms with private bathrooms, also intended for the guests.

The top floor, on the other hand, houses a bedroom with private bathroom and terrace and a large suite with sitting area, private terrace, bedroom with en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe.

The building is in excellent structural and aesthetic condition and was carefully renovated in 2004 by the current owners to maintain its charm. The structure features finishes in an Art Nouveau style that could be defined as “moderate” without the excesses that typically characterize these buildings. The work has made it possible to maintain the original finishes wherever possible: thus we find antique terracotta floors, wooden beams with terracotta tiles, plastered walls with colored bands, large windows that ensure bright rooms, and on the lower floors even the vaulted ceilings typical of countryside buildings.

In the park, about 40 m from the villa, is a cozy wooden cottage (20 m² – 215 ft², 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom) that is rented out to guests seeking privacy and tranquility. The building consists of a double room with an outdoor veranda and private bathroom.

A storage room (22 m² – 237 ft²) is located a short distance from the villa and provides shelter for garden equipment and tools.

Not far from Assisi, the city of Saint Francis, and in the heart of the Umbrian countryside with an incredible panoramic view, 5.7-hectare estate with resort. The buildings (almost 1,500 m² in total) have been carefully restored and now house a total of 19 guest bedrooms, an elegant wellness center and a restaurant. The 11,000-m² garden houses the 12 × 6 m swimming pool.

The resort (725 m² – 7,801 ft², 11 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms) is the heart of the property, housed in a finely renovated rustic farmhouse with modern amenities. From the central hall, the building then branches into two wings. One side leads to a hallway that in turn leads to five bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. On the other side is the wellness center with relaxation area, sauna, massage cabin, changing rooms and service bathroom.

Going up to the upper floor, the building is still divided into two wings that house six more bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and a shared living room that gives access to the main wing.

The Foresteria (745 m² – 8,016 ft², 8 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms) is instead divided into two distinct sections. The basement, with direct access from the outside, contains six bedrooms with private bathroom, the property’s laundry, a service staff quarters with two bedrooms and bathroom, various storage rooms and the facility’s technical rooms. The upper floor, on the other hand, is used entirely for the restaurant, consisting of two large halls, a professional kitchen and a bar.

The buildings have been entirely restored preserving the original charm of the structures, which stand above what was once a Franciscan refuge dating back to the 13th century. Externally, the structure retains its rustic appearance, with stone and brick walls, while internally, several rooms have been created that are characterized by two very different styles: where possible, the rustic aspect has been maintained, with exposed walls and wooden beams, while in other areas a more modern approach has been preferred, with a more sober and contemporary style that nevertheless blends well into the context.

On the hills surrounding Sansepolcro, in a very panoramic position, hamlet for sale. The property has been entirely renovated and has a hotel license: the structure has 14 guest bedrooms, distributed in the various buildings, and large rooms for events and conferences.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS

The manor house (1,060 m² – 11,405 ft², 10 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms) is a large historic stately building, dating back to the 18th century and originally intended as a noble country residence. In the mid-19th century the structure became a farm/ranch and as such remained until the 1990s when it was purchased by the current owners who oversaw its renovation.

In addition to the gardens (4,000 sqm located next to the buildings), the farm includes about 400 olive trees and 1.0 hectare of forest. On the other hand, the rest of the land is devoted to arable land, which is very suitable for planting vineyards.
