Tuscany, Pisa, Volterra, Italy

This is an impressive villa which would provide an excellent investment opportunity, enabling one to own an historic Tuscan residence and generate income from the high quality rental apartments.

With origins dating back to the 15th century, this regal structure was a noble residence and Papal seat for centuries until the 1980s. It has now been immaculately restored to create 11 apartments, a private chapel, restaurant and recreation areas including a swimming pool. Views from the villa stretch across the hills of Tuscany with the glistening coast in the distance.

1700 sqm of floor area spread across the main villa and adjacent two storey building.

Main Villa - entry into a grand hallway with imposing wooden staircase connecting the three storeys of the property. The ground floor of the villa provides impressive reception rooms for communal use including the original chapel which remains consecrated.

The front 'saloni' give access to the grounds. On this floor there are also unrestored cellar rooms which could provide further facilities or indeed accommodation and there is a one bedroom apartment.

First floor - there are 5 individual apartments, all enjoy a spacious reception room and high quality bathrooms with marble finishings.

Second floor- a further 6 apartments, several of which have charming beamed ceilings.

Though the property has not been in use for several years little work would be required to bring the apartments back into working order to once more generate income.

Outbuildings- Adjacent to the main villa, with direct street access is a separate building which has been restored to provide restaurant and professional kitchen facilties. A further two apartments are also within this building.

Gardens & Grounds - Accompanying the villa there is just under a hectare of private grounds with swimming pool, parking area and wonderful mature trees, walkways and statues.

Location - Located within a medieval hilltop village one can simply step into the street to enjoy a coffee or aperitif at the neighbouring bar or buy basic provisions from the grocery shop. The village sits within the rolling countryside between Florence and Pisa. Under 30 minutes from Pisa Airport and the beach and under 1 hour from Florence.
