Convent Le Clarisse: Historic Residence with Garden and Olive Grove in Sarteano, Siena – Tuscany



REF: SAR135



Discover Convento Le Clarisse, an impressive 16th-century structure located in Sarteano, in the province of Siena. Built in 1498 in accordance with the principles of St. Francis, this convent hosted cloistered nuns of the Order of the Poor Clares for centuries. In the 1970s, the building underwent a major renovation, transforming it into a valuable historic residence.



The property extends over three levels for a total of 1,427 sqm (15,361.87 sq ft), with a stone façade and a T-shaped layout, characteristic of Franciscan architecture. After a conservative restoration between 1970 and 1990, the convent has preserved its unique features, such as wooden and terracotta ceilings, stone walls, and bathrooms decorated with majolica tiles.



Currently, the convent operates as an elegant hotel, offering rooms furnished with period furniture and large panoramic halls. Guests can enjoy a vast shaded garden and an olive grove, offering spectacular views over the Val di Chiana and the surrounding lakes.



The property also includes a dining area with two dining rooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and a special wine cellar featuring fine wines such as Brunello di Montalcino and Chianti Classico. An annex building, in need of renovation, offers further development opportunities. This historic residence is ideal not only for hospitality activities but also as a private residence, ensuring privacy and easy access to services
