Villa Pinturicchio in Rapolano Terme, Siena, Tuscany – SIE207

Villa with grottesche, panoramic garden, lemon-house and oil-mill, for renovation, for sale in Rapolano Terme, Siena – Tuscany Ref. SIE207 In the fortified hamlet of Armaiolo, in the municipality of Rapolano Terme (SI), just a few minutes from the thermal baths and in a strategic position between the Crete Senesi, Valdichiana and Val d’Orcia, a compendium of impressive real estate is for sale: sixteenth-century villa with vantageous garden, limonaia and ancient oil mill. The property immediately impresses with its scenic presence. The villa, with a regular layout, is spread over three floors plus attics and has an elegant façade in good condition, with pinkish plaster and aligned windows with decorated architraves, overlooking the valley and the village. A ‘noble’ building, suitable for a prestigious residential project or a high-level receptive initiative. In the interior, identity traits emerge: in the master’s rooms are preserved painted decorations with grotesques, geometric frames and mythological themes on the walls and ceilings, which tell of the dwelling’s aristocratic origins. Rooms once used for servants complete the distribution and increase design flexibility. The structure appears solid and shows no need for major structural work; the interiors, on the other hand, are to be revamped and customised, ideal for a made-to-measure restoration that respects the historical character but is in line with contemporary standards. The access from the garden is one of the most scenic points: a double staircase with balustrades leads to the entrance, with a wrought iron gate. The perimeter incorporates local materials, with the presence of travertine, a typical stone of the area. The bright, south-facing garden is large enough to accommodate a swimming pool with solarium and spaces for relaxation and services, increasing the property’s yield in the case of a tourist-receptive project. The limonaia (approx. 70 sqm) is a tall and airy single room, with columns, barrel vaults and travertine flooring. Recently used as a bar, it mainly requires cosmetic interventions and maintains good functionality due to the large openings to the south. The frantoio (approximately 370 square metres on three levels, one basement), on the other hand, needs to be fully restored: its surface area and volumes allow it to be transformed into an annexe, second residence, wellness area, communal spaces or accommodation units, depending on the vision. A concrete solution for those who are looking for a historic property in Tuscany with significant square footage and a context that really works: an authentic village, a panorama, nearby services and favourable connections to the main routes in the province of Siena.
