The Towers of San Gimignano

Precious Villas now have pleasure in bringing to the market a lovingly restored property in classic Tuscany that is ‘Chiavi in Mano’ – translated means, furnished, landscaped and ready for occupancy or turnkey property.

The present owners have spent over six years of their retirement, in completely restoring this19th Century stone fienile (barn) that has spectacular views over the medieval Towers of Gimignano just 4km away. Ideally positioned it is just one hour from Florence Airport and less than 45 minutes from Siena with a four lane highway just over 10 minutes away.

Trinidad Passerini, Managing Director of Precious Villas say, “The current owners have afforded attentive and detailed restructuring of this traditional property and their achievements have resulted in one of the finest renovations I have ever seen in the Tuscany region. With a mixture of old and new decoration and materials that further compliment the property, it is ideally suited to those that like to cook, entertain and enjoy the peaceful surrounding countryside, yet still being close enough to good transport links, opening up the rest of the region and further”

This delightful three bedroom property still hosts many traditional features; grilled openings and cotto-paved aia (open courtyard) and double height central living accommodation with surround balconies. In addition it boasts wood beam ceilings, naturally tinted limestone plaster walls and cotto flooring. The delightful kitchen/breakfast room conjures up images of years ago, with a wood fired oven, indoor laundry and wine cellar. The outside offers 2.5 acres; with ample lawn areas, 180 olive trees, fruit/nut trees, vegetable garden and bocce court. Asides the traditional features, this impressive residence is also geared up for the 21st Century, with internet connection, satellite TV, thermal insulation in the roof and under floor heating.

Priced at £1,084,000 (1,550,000 Euros) this spacious property set in glorious grounds affording far reaching views, already with planning permission for an outside swimming pool, will offer one lucky investor the chance to live under the Tuscan sun but without all the fuss of having to renovate a property.
