Not far from the medieval town of San Gimignano, in the heart of Tuscany, former 14th-century mill converted into an elegant boutique hotel with 16 rooms for sale. The property (over 600 sqm in total) has been entirely renovated preserving its rural character, but adding modern systems and all necessary amenities. All around are 3,500 sqm of gardens with a 14 × 7 m swimming pool, as well as 4.8 hectares of farmland.
The property is reached via a short stretch of unpaved road (about 700 m) in good condition that then connects directly to the municipal road system. The town of San Gimignano, where essential services are located, can be reached in about 10’ by car. The very convenient location in the center of Tuscany allows then to reach most of the art cities of Tuscany in less than an hour and a half by car (Siena, Florence, Monteriggioni, Pisa...).


DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS, STATE AND FINISHES
The villa (630 sqm – 6,779 sqft) dates back to the 14th century and was originally a watermill, later converted into a stately home during the 17th century. The current appearance of the structure, which preserves most of its original features even after almost forty years of neglect, is the result of a careful restoration carried out by the current owners in 2012, when the property was adapted for tourist accommodation use.
- Basement floor: historic cellars (including the milling area) and storerooms;
- Ground floor: reception, professional kitchen with pantry, breakfast/restaurant room with large veranda, service bathroom for guests, independent bedroom with private bathroom, dressing room for employees with bathroom and technical rooms for the villa’s facilities;
- First floor: eight bedrooms with private bathroom and large suite (living room, bedroom and bathroom);
- Second floor: five bedrooms with private bathrooms and large suite (living room, bedroom and bathroom) with access to the turret.

All around the villa there is then a canopy for outdoor events (40 seats), accompanied by an oven with barn (11 sqm – 118 sqft), and a small storage room (11 sqm – 118 sqft) for tools.


EXTERIOR
The villa is surrounded by a well-kept garden of 3,500 sqm dotted with ornamental flowers and bushes. In the midst of the green, a few meters from the building, is the 14 × 7 m swimming pool surrounded by a terracotta and grass sunbathing area. In one corner of the garden, near the warehouse, are four solar panels for domestic hot water production.
Beyond the boundaries of the garden, the property has about 4.8 hectares (11.9 acres) of agricultural land, largely free of trees that can be exploited both as parking for guests and as an area for planting vines or other crops typical of the area.
