DESCRIPTION OF BUILDINGS, CONDITION AND FINISHES The historic villa (933 sqm – 10,039 sqft, 9 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms) is a large stately building from the Renaissance period, structured on five floors: on the lower levels are the living areas with lounges, service rooms and kitchens, while the upper floors house the sleeping areas for a total of nine bedrooms and ten bathrooms. The villa was formerly the heart of an accommodation business but is currently in need of major consolidation and restoration works. The aristocratic chapel (62 sqm – 667 sqft) is located a few steps from the villa and consists of three rooms housing beautiful frescoes, the original altars and an elegant marble inlay floor. The building is in need of renovation. The wine cellar (673 sqm – 7,241 sqft) is a large underground building with a large processing area and numerous fermentation vats. The structure is developed lengthwise with rooms on the sides of a central corridor, which facilitates operations. The production capacity is around 3,000 hl of wine per year (about 400,000 bottles). The guesthouse (331 sqm – 3,561 sqft, 8 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms) is built directly above the wine cellar and is a two-story building. On the ground floor is a large warehouse for product storage, while the rest of the building is divided into two apartments: • Apt. A (74 sqm – 796 sqft): living room with dining area, kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms; • Apt. B (177 sqm – 1,904 sqft): living room with dining area and kitchenette, six bedrooms and two bathrooms. Two agricultural warehouses (total 130 sqm – 1,399 sqft) complete the property. EXTERIOR The estate covers a total area of about 7.1 hectares (17.5 acres), including a garden (8,700 sqm), arable land (3.8 hectares), an olive grove with about 200 olive trees (1.6 ha) and a Chianti DOCG vineyard (8,000 sqm). Next to the villa is a 12 × 8.5 m swimming pool, surrounded by a grass sunbathing area and tall trees that provide excellent privacy. The property also features a large paved terrace, partially covered, where one can relax and admire the view. USE AND POTENTIAL USES Due to its large size and enviable location, the property can be used as an accommodation business with 28 beds available. From 1997 to 2020, half-board group sports vacations with in-house catering (up to 35 guests) were organized in the property.
