Castiglion Fiorentino, Tuscany, Address available on request

The property is located few kilometres from Castiglion Fiorentino, and exactly in a village called Manciano (birthplace of Roberto Benigni actor known for the film La Vita  e bella). The place is surrounded by the green fields of Valdichiana valley with vineyards, olive groves and other farmhouses.

Restoration works, started in 2006, transformed the ruins of an old building into a luxury property with three apartments. Each apartment has an independent entrance, private outside space and barbecue.

The land, totally fenced with two entrance gates, measures approx. 12,000 sq.m.   The swimming pool, fenced for security, is 11 metres long.  There are two large parking spaces within the property.  The landscaped garden is kept in perfect conditions with its impeccable lawns, cypresses, other trees, and decorative plants. It offers several spots where one can relax in privacy, switch off from the everyday, hectic life, read a book and enjoy an aperitivo.  The external illumination has been designed in order to provide welcoming atmosphere.

The old part of the building, which was transformed into two apartments, is in stone. The newly built part is plastered, but apart from this modern aspect it has all the typical details  exposed beams, terracotta floors, solid wood, double glazed windows and doors, old style sanitary ware and tiles in the bathrooms. Each apartment has its own, fully equipped and custom-made kitchen.
The old part has been divided horizontally into two units. The one on the ground floor features a sitting room with kitchenette and fireplace, two bedrooms, which share a bathroom, and another en-suite bedroom. The first floor, with access through external staircase and loggia, is divided into a sitting room with kitchenette and huge wood stove, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. These two apartments are being rented out during holiday season generating interesting income.

The newly built part is on two levels. Ground floor has a sitting room, dining room with kitchenette, bedroom, and bathroom. There are two bedrooms and a bathroom on the upper level.

The utilities include alarm system, automatic irrigation, artisan water well with 20,000 lt deposit, another one near the house, from where the water goes to the osmosis purification system and is in the end stocked in another tank with potable water.

It is a newly restored property with introduction of modern technological solutions, offering all the required comforts. The conditions are perfect and the location, with easy access, is very central. Castiglion Fiorentino with all services, including railway station, is at 6.5 km distance. Cortona  18 km, Arezzo  19.5 km, Montepulciano  31 km, Montalcino  56 km, Siena  62 km, Perugia with international airport in continuous expansion  67 km, Florence  80 km.  So most famous places in central Tuscany and Umbria can be reached in less than one hour of driving.

At about one kilometre there is a small aeroclub, where it is possible to land with smaller aircrafts, take lessons or rent a plane or helicopter. The club also has a restaurant/pizzeria and rooms for rent in case you have un-expected guests.

Most probably in the near future a new High Speed train station will be realized at a distance of about 20 km. This would mean getting to Rome in 1 hour and 15 minutes and about 03 minutes to the centre of Florence, one hour and 50 minutes to Bologna and 3.5 hours to Milan.
