Description
Chianti 13th-century former convent with Italian-style garden, turret, pool and land for sale south of Florence, in Tavernelle Val di Pesa. In the heart of Chianti, just twenty minutes south of Florence and a short drive from Siena, San Gimignano and the most famous wineries of the region, Villa il Convento is set in a remarkable dominant position on the top of a hill with a breathtaking infinity panorama over the Chianti Classic vineyards and olive groves. An elegant cypress tree-lined avenue takes to the front garden and the main entrance opens into a stunning traditional 13th-century courtyard featuring brick walls, a staircase off the first floor, and an original built-in wooden oven still used today to bake bread and pizza. Built as a convent in 1237 and transformed into a charming noble country residence over the centuries, it has been faithfully restored to form two apartments that, together with its separate two-bedroom cottage, the romantic views from the garden and the pool, form a unique dwelling full of charm and enchanting atmosphere. The interiors reflect its centuries-old history and retain a sense of the past boasting exposed wooden beams ceilings, antique terracotta floors, fireplaces, and a turret with marvelous views. The park is fully fenced and features two gates, mature trees, an ancient well, fountains and a separate two-story barn used as a deposit with excellent conversion potential. The 7.4 acres of private land include an olive grove. Villa il Convento is a exceptional property, perfect as a private residence to live in Chiantishire all year round, excellent to host travelers for their vacation in Tuscany.
