48 bedrooms villa, 5800 m²

Capolona, Arezzo (province)

This extraordinary luxury estate, a former and powerful monastic centre skilfully restored into a majestic manor house, stands out for its unrivalled prestige amongst the great historic properties of Tuscany. This monumental estate covers a total floor area of 5,800 sqm, entirely protected and enclosed by its original, imposing period walls. Inside, the layout of the architectural spaces and the extraordinary range of rooms offer a magnificent capacity for hospitality, with a total of 40 independent units, comprising 48 spacious double bedrooms, each with its own elegant en-suite bathroom. Surrounded by a spectacular agricultural estate stretching across some 370 hectares of fine vineyards and centuries-old olive groves, the property exudes a refined and deeply authentic elegance. The exceptional spaciousness of its reception areas, its distinguished historical heritage and the complete privacy of its setting make it a magnificent residence of the highest stately standing.

The roots of this extraordinary historical complex date back to the end of the 10th century, preserving a millennia-old legacy of inestimable value. Originally the seat of a vast medieval landholding, the estate came under the auspices of the prestigious Lotteringhi della Stufa family, closely linked to the House of Medici, who oversaw its first monumental conversion. The ancient abbey ruins were then transformed into a delightful residence, enhanced by a charming private chapel. In the 18th century, the illustrious Bacci family of Arezzo took ownership of the property, completing its definitive architectural transformation. Through meticulous restoration work and the creation of spectacular enclosed gardens, the property established itself as an exceptional stately home, gradually becoming a favourite retreat for eminent figures in international history.
