STATE AND FINISHES
The medieval tower was finely restored, preserving its most interesting features and valorizing its details. In particular, the huge underground vaulted room (once a water cistern for the garrison) has been restored and converted into a cozy tavern. On the upper floors, one can still see the beautiful stone walls and the armored structure of the tower.
The two farmhouses have been restored as well and are therefore in excellent shape, fully respecting the Tuscan and Umbrian styles: as for the tower, they feature stone walls, vaulted ceilings, original terracotta floors, stone fireplace and wooden beams.
EXTERIOR
The estate, located along the border between Umbria and Tuscany, covers a total surface of 28.2 hectares (69.7 acres). The majority of this surface is covered in arable/grazing land (21.9 ha) and mixed woodland (4.8 ha).
The remaining part of the property is planted with an ample olive grove (roughly 9,000 m²) with 500 trees allowing for the production of excellent extra-virgin olive oil.
Right next to the tower, right on a stone terrace hugged by a hedge, there is the pool of the property, with its rounded edges and surrounded by a paved solarium.
Finally, the complex features a concrete tennis court located right along the access avenue, next to the canopies used for cars.
