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 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.

Set amidst the rolling hills of Umbria, just a short 10-minute drive from the historic town of Todi, this exceptional contemporary villa represents a rare fusion of modern design and traditional craftsmanship. Built in 2016, the property enjoys a privileged panoramic position, offering sweeping views over the surrounding countryside and an atmosphere of absolute privacy and tranquility.

Perfect as a year-round residence or as a high-end rental investment, this extraordinary villa represents a unique opportunity to own a contemporary masterpiece in the heart of Umbria.

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.

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 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 a quiet location on the edge of a small village between Castiglion Fiorentino and Cortona, with a beautiful view of the Montecchio fortress, farmhouse for sale.

On the other hand, the rest of the property is covered by an olive grove (2,444 m² for about 70 plants in total), which allows the production of a small amount of oil for personal use.

The property is very suitable for those looking for a quiet and private home within a small hamlet providing all basic amenities.

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). However, the location of the estate is very convenient and allows to reach most of the art cities of Tuscany in less than an hour (Florence, Siena, Volterra, San Gimignano, Arezzo...).
