On the hills of Valdichiana, between Sinalunga and Lucignano, restored rural hamlet currently used as a holiday home. The property (over 1,200 sqm in total) has, ten apartments, an elegant manor house (26 bedrooms in total) and a lush garden with two swimming pools available for guests. The 18.0 hectares of land surrounding the buildings include large portions of arable land (8.4 ha) and a small olive grove with 50 trees.
The nearby village offers basic amenities (3km; 5'), and the quaint medieval town of Lucignano (recently listed among the most beautiful in Italy) is just a 10' drive from the property. The proximity to the junction of the A1 highway (13km) is a major advantage as it allows to reach the most famous cities of Tuscany and Umbria in just over an hour.


DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS
The manorial villa (282 sqm – 3,034 sqft, 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms) is an old country building laid over three floors and fully renovated. On the ground floor, the loggia gives access to an elegant and spacious central dining room. From here one passes on one side to the kitchen and service bathroom, while on the opposite side to the first bedroom with en-suite bathroom. The internal staircase leads to the first floor where one reaches an elegant central hall that leads in turn to three bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Also from the living room, a staircase leads up to the turret where a panoramic master bedroom with en-suite bathroom has been created.

HSTORY, STATE AND FINISHES
The property originally belonged to a renowned Montepulciano family and consisted of the manor house and several farm buildings (those that now make up the Agriturismo). The villa dates from 1760 and is a classic example of a Leopoldina built of local stone and brick at the time of the great land reclamation ordered by Grand Duke Leopold II of Tuscany.
The owners purchased the entire property in 2000, and the buildings were, at the time, little more than ruins, completely without roofs and with evident structural problems. In 2004, major restoration work began on the estate: over the course of five years, all the buildings were renovated and restored to their original appearance, taking great care not to distort the original charm of the structures. Stones, bricks and tiles are all salvaged elements, while terracotta tiles handcrafted by Orvieto artisans were used for the floors.


EXTERIORS
The property, in its entirety, covers about 18.0 hectares (44.5 acres) lying in the Valdichiana hills between the provinces of Arezzo and Siena.

The buildings are surrounded by a lush 10,000-sqm park bordered by hedges, stone walls and paved driveways. The hamlet has two swimming pools: the first one, 12 × 6 m is for the exclusive use of the villa, while the larger one (24 × 6 m) is shared by the Agriturismo apartments and is located in the middle of a stone-paved terrace a short distance from the building.

The remaining area is covered instead by arable land (8.4 ha), very suitable if new crops were to be planted, and woods (8.0 ha). A small olive grove (just over 6,000 sqm with 50 trees) allows the production of oil for private use.
