DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDING

Conceived by artists Roberto Bernardi and Raphaella Spence, niece of the celebrated British architect Sir Basil Spence, the villa is a true architectural statement, born from a deep passion for art and design. As the first modern residence in the area, it masterfully combines local stone and wood with expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a seamless dialogue between interior and exterior spaces. The result is a luminous, elegant home, perfectly suited for entertaining and for enjoying unforgettable moments with family and friends.

The villa (442 m² – 4,756 ft², 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms) is arranged over two levels. The ground floor hosts a generous living area, ideal for relaxation, along with three spacious en-suite bedrooms, each with direct access to the porch and garden. A laundry room completes this level. The upper floor, reached via a refined wooden and iron staircase that enhances the verticality of the spaces, features a stylish lounge, dining area and open-plan kitchen. The master suite, also on this floor, boasts a private bathroom and a panoramic terrace with breathtaking views over the Umbrian landscape.

An independent studio (158 m² – 1,700 ft²) designed as an extension of the main villa and currently not connected, offers additional versatile space. A semi-basement, yet to be completed, provides further potential for accessory rooms.

The property is equipped with underfloor heating and cooling throughout, ensuring optimal comfort in every season.

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 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.

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...).

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).

The farmhouse (318 m² – 3,422 ft², 6 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms) is a typical Tuscan-style rural building dating in its original layout to the 11th century. An interesting feature is that the building has always been maintained in such a way as to preserve its salient features, which therefore remain clearly visible and intact. The ground floor, accessible through a portico and several doors on the sides of the building, houses the old agricultural premises consisting of cellars, stables and technical rooms. The stone staircase with 15 steps rises from the porch to the characteristic arched loggia that gives access to the upstairs dwelling. The door opens to a large living room with adjoining kitchen. From here there is then access to the two sleeping areas of the farmhouse: the first consisting of two bedrooms with shared bathroom, the second of four bedrooms and a bathroom. The turret houses a small sitting room with panoramic views.

Not far from the farmhouse are then a small shed (58 m² – 624 ft²) and an old barn (120 m² – 1,291 m²) that is now dilapidated but can be rebuilt to create a guest house.

The house is set in a well-kept garden of about 5,400 m², with ample space for outdoor moments and the possibility of building a swimming pool.

The rest of the land, on the other hand, is agricultural in nature and includes a 7,400-m² field that could easily accommodate a corral for horses, and some wooded areas (about 1.7 ha) that surround the property and provide privacy.

If interested, another plot of olive grove is available for sale in the vicinity (1.5 ha).

The area is rich in olive groves and very renowned for both extra virgin olive oil and Chianti wine, true excellences of this splendid territory located in the center of the geographical triangle marked by Arezzo, Siena and Florence.

The town of Pergine, where the main services are located, is less than 2 km away by car. Florence International Airport can be reached in about an hour.

Immersed in the beautiful Tuscan countryside, a short distance from Siena, Florence and Arezzo, elegant stone villa with panoramic pool, olive grove and ruin to be restored for sale. The property enjoys excellent exposure and offers absolute privacy while being just minutes from the main centers of the region. Currently the property is included in the tourist accommodation circuit but the internal layout allows use as a private residence without necessary modifications.

The villa (585 m² – 6,295 ft², 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms) is a typical Tuscan stone building, renovated, with spacious and bright interiors, equipped with all modern comforts. The house is structured on two levels:

The town of Greve is about a ten-minute drive from the property and offers all basic services (bars, restaurants, pharmacy, supermarkets, banks, post office).
