Unique historic villa with a 13th-century hamlet, partly restored, 35 units with 60 bedrooms plan for private or tourism use, for sale in Siena. In the heart of Tuscany, 45 minutes south of Florence and only 7 km from Siena, in a commanding position within the unspoiled centuries-old woods of the Montagnola Senese Natural Reserve, a very special place telling its long life story with Romanesque parish churches, castles, and farmhouses. The hamlet was built as a defensive fortress in the 1200s and perfectly preserves its medieval origin with its characteristic raw stone buildings and arched doorways. Over the centuries it was developed into a noble country estate by an aristocratic Sienese family upgrading the main central building into an elegant villa with plastered facades and panoramic porches, bordered by an Italian-style garden, and surrounded by a courtyard and farm buildings. A major re-qualification project has already been implemented involving the architectural renovation of all buildings, all roofs have been reconstructed while conserving the terracotta tile covers, and the high ceilings feature large exposed wooden beams. The overall plan offers 35 self-contained residences, all different in type and characteristics, designed for both private homes and tourist hospitality. The interiors can be customized and all households can benefit from new generation and energy-saving systems. Borgo De' Conti is a perfect fusion of history and nature within a Tuscan country life-style community including other private villas, a parish with an interesting medieval church with a 19th-century façade, and some very attractive nature tracks take to the ancient Via Francigena route.
