Description 
The prestigious residence of 3178 square meters of total internal surfaces is an ancient country residence, now used as a luxury Relais and consists of the main villa with the ancient medieval tower, a connected but independent annex and the cellar, the garage and tool shed as well as numerous accessory rooms in the basement. The relais houses a delightful internal cloister on the ground floor, the bar, the restaurant and breakfast rooms with related services as well as the large and elegant common rooms with fireplace as well as two bedrooms. The imposing internal staircase or the elevator leads to the first floor with a terrace overlooking the cloister and a long corridor housing 20 bedrooms all with en suite bathrooms and wardrobes. The independent annex but connected to the main villa houses 4 bedrooms, 2 of which are on the ground floor and 2 on the first floor, 2 bathrooms as well as a living room and kitchen. 
Outdoor 
The house is set in its private park of about 2.5 hectares entirely bordered by an ancient boundary wall. Inside there is a fascinating Italian garden embellished by the rose garden, the large swimming pool with adjacent lawn areas, the forest with tall Tuscan cypresses, holm oaks and centuries-old oaks and an ancient tabernacle. A large and convenient car park is at the service of guests. 
State and finishes 
The structure enjoys considerable value and is in excellent condition. In the renovation, original and recycled materials were used and high-value architectural elements were preserved, including cornices, jambs, columns, shelves and string courses. The stone, the original floors, the coffered ceilings and the numerous frescoes make the property unique. Bathrooms are more modern, with resin floors and glass-enclosed showers with travertine marble walls. The former chapel and sacristy have been transformed into dining rooms, while maintaining all their original characteristics. Of particular importance is the tower, currently used as a suite and consisting of a bedroom, bathroom and relaxation room with a small swimming pool with whirlpool and a unique 360° view of the towers of San Gimignano, the countryside and the small villages in the surrounding area. 
Potential uses 
Thanks to its panoramic, convenient and central position with respect to Florence and Siena, and its architectural features, the residence is certainly a tourist property. However, it is possible, after requesting the appropriate urban planning authorizations, to transform the structure again into a private residence of great representation.
