Characteristic late 18th century hamlet elegantly renovated into a hotel with 34 bedrooms, restaurant, gym for sale just 20 km south-west of Siena. Surrounded by a park and centuries-old oak woods, in the quiet hills of the Montagnola Senese and Val d’Elsa, from where Casole d’Elsa, Colle and Siena can be reached in just 20 minutes. The hamlet includes three stone former farmhouses magnificently renovated in 2010 into a charming country resort and holistic retreat boasting 30 rooms with en-suite bathrooms distributed in the various farmhouses, four self-contained flats with living areas and suites, an indoor restaurant area with a capacity of 60 seats and a large outdoor terrace with pergola housing additional 40 seats. The conservative restoration has kept the original features unaltered, with facades and courtyard in raw stone, romantic arched loggias, terracotta floors, ceilings with exposed wooden beams and terracotta vaults, large brick arches, a harmony of rooms enveloped in an elegant and relaxing atmosphere. In harmony with the architectural elements of the hamlet is the new gym with a room of over 160 square metres (1722 sq ft) and 7 metres in height, used as a yoga and meditation room with plenty of natural light, underfloor heating, air conditioning and parquet flooring. The over 12 acres of parkland consist of centuries-old trees surrounding the hamlet together with a garden with aromatic Mediterranean plants. In this splendid setting is a large swimming pool with a sundeck paved in terracotta tiles, an outdoor shower and a view of the Val d’Elsa forest. A country resort among the most important on the international holistic tourism circuit with a loyal clientele that chooses this retreat for their holidays every year. A unique turnkey property with excellent potential for further expansion and transformation also for private use.
