Fans of fine dining who are hunting for somewhere special to buy in Italy will welcome the launch of a new resort at a former 11th-Century monastery in Tuscany, which includes restaurants belonging to celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay’s portfolio of top notch eateries.

 

On offer at the converted monastery at Castel Monastero, situated 20 minutes’ drive from Siena, are luxury apartments and villas, with prices starting from €800,000. Each property retains original stone and terracotta walls but has been converted with high quality fittings and furnishings, as well as all mod cons.

Owners of the properties will have full use of the resort’s facilities, including two restaurants – La Contrada and La Cantina, both overseen by Gordon Ramsay, a bar in the medieval piazza, the stunning 1,000-square-metre spa, indoor and outdoor swimming pools and a range of on-site services, including babysitting and shoppings.
