Dicomano, Florence (province)

Dicomano, in the Contea area, for sale a former convent transformed into a hospitality facility, immersed in the greenery of the valley crossed by the Sieve river.
The convent was built by the Franciscan friars in the second decade of the eighteenth century next to the ancient parish church of San Giovanni Battista, which was renovated and modernized on that occasion. The Franciscan friars were the generous custodians of the entire complex and enriched both the church and the convent with works of art. In the refectory there remains a beautiful fresco depicting the Last Supper by the painter Ferdinando Folchi dating back to the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Here you can still find the ancient tables and the original stalls along with the pulpit for reading sacred texts. The small cloister enclosed within the structure houses an elegant well and a stone sink. Hospitality has always been, over the centuries, a quality and has played an important role in this convent. In the past, shepherds stopped here for the transhumance from the Apennines and Casentino towards the Maremma: from that time, the large "Camino dei Pastori" (Shepherds' Path) is still visible in the convent.
Around the property there are large green areas, with an Italian garden and a grove of oak trees.
