Tuscany, Siena, San Gimignano, Italy

Situated between Siena and San Gimignano, this converted Monastery sits on a hilltop position dominating the surrounding landscape. The property has become part of this timeless landscape as it has been here for over a thousand years.

The main building has been converted into 13 self-contained apartments, offering a total of 16 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms, including living rooms and kitchenettes. The property measures approx. 812m2 in total.

The church, situated in the west wing, is still used to celebrate ceremonies, and the property is often used as a location for weddings and prestigious events.

Within the grounds there is also an annex used as storage and staff quarters, measuring 89m2 and a wine cellar.

The property has been immaculately restored, retaining traditional materials where possible. The recent restoration has been carried out to a high level with great care and attention to preserve the traditional Tuscan style and abundance of original features. Original terracotta floor tiles, stones and wooden beams have been kept where possible. The style may be described as typical Tuscan rustic country house, and even though the ceilings and floors have been dismantled, refurbished and restored, the property still emits an age old ambience reflecting true Tuscan architecture.

The property is surrounded by a total of 18 hectares of land, which consists of Chianti di Colli Senesi vines, olive groves, and charming gardens with lawns, flower beds and hedged pathways leading to the pool areas.

The estate is located in the heart Tuscany, 10 minutes from Siena, 20 minutes from San Gimignano, 53 km from Florence, 79 km from the coasts, and it offers wonderful views over the unspoilt Tuscan countryside and the scenic Castel of Monteriggioni. For these reasons the Monastero Frangiceno offers a unique opportunity to ascertain a real piece of history as well a great opportunity for those looking to invest in a hospitality business of distinction.
