16 bedrooms villa, 854 m² San Gimignano, Siena (province)
Main Features
Description
This remarkable villa of approximately 600 sq. m. dates back to the 14th century and was originally a water mill, later transformed into a noble residence in the 17th century. Its current appearance, which preserves much of its historic character, is the result of a meticulous restoration completed in 2012 by the present owners, when the property was carefully adapted for hospitality use.
The interior spaces are arranged over four levels.
The basement houses the original historic cellars, including the former milling area, along with storage rooms.
The ground floor is dedicated to welcoming and service areas and features a reception space, a professional kitchen with pantry, a breakfast and dining room opening onto a large veranda, a guest restroom, an independent bedroom with private bathroom, staff changing rooms with dedicated facilities, and technical rooms serving the villa.
The first floor accommodates eight bedrooms, all with private bathrooms, as well as a spacious suite comprising a living room, bedroom, and bathroom.
The second floor offers five additional bedrooms with private bathrooms and a large suite with living room, bedroom, and bathroom, with direct access to the tower, adding further character and charm to the residence.
Outdoor spaces are designed for both relaxation and events. A covered canopy equipped for outdoor functions includes an oven and a former hayloft, alongside a small storage building for tools.
The villa is surrounded by a beautifully maintained garden of approximately 3,500 sq. m., enriched with flowers and ornamental shrubs. At the heart of the garden, just a few steps from the main building, lies a 14 × 7 meter swimming pool, bordered by terracotta paving and lawn areas ideal for sunbathing.
The estate is completed by around 4.7 hectares of agricultural land, largely free of trees, offering flexible use as guest parking or for cultivating vineyards or other typical local crops.
The historic nature of the property is reflected throughout the interiors, where original architectural elements and antique materials have been carefully preserved. Spaces alternate between traditional rooms featuring terracotta ceilings and exposed chestnut beams, and areas renovated in a more contemporary style, achieving a harmonious balance between authenticity and modern comfort.
The villa is equipped with all main utilities. Water is supplied by a private well, heating is powered by methane, and additional features include a solar thermal system with four panels for hot water production, air conditioning, internet connection, and an electric entrance gate.
Thanks to its current layout and facilities as a boutique hotel, the property is ideally suited to continue its hospitality activity. Its strategic location allows easy access to some of Tuscany’s most renowned destinations, including San Gimignano, Siena, Volterra, and the Chianti area, while Florence and Pisa airports are also conveniently reachable.
