Not far from the medieval village of San Gimignano, in the heart of Tuscany, there is an ancient 14th-century mill converted into an elegant boutique hotel with 16 rooms for sale. The property (over 600 sqm in total) has been completely renovated while preserving its rural character, adding modern facilities and all necessary comforts. Surrounding it are 3,500 sqm of gardens with a 14 x 7 m swimming pool, as well as 4.8 hectares of agricultural land.
The villa (630 sqm) dates back to the 14th century and was originally a water mill, later converted into a noble residence in the 17th century. The current appearance of the structure, which retains most of its original features even after almost forty years of abandonment, is the result of a careful restoration carried out by the current owners in 2012, when the property was adapted for tourist accommodation.
– Basement: historic cellars (including the milling area) and storage rooms;
– Ground floor: reception, professional kitchen with pantry, breakfast/restaurant room with a large veranda, guest restroom, independent room with private bathroom, employee dressing room with bathroom, and technical rooms for the villa’s systems;
– First floor: eight rooms with private bathrooms and a large suite (living room, bedroom, and bathroom);
– Second floor: five rooms with private bathrooms and a large suite (living room, bedroom, and bathroom) with access to the turret.
Surrounding the villa, there is a canopy for outdoor events (40 seats), equipped with an oven and a barn (11 sqm), and a small warehouse (11 sqm) for tools. The villa is surrounded by a well-kept garden of 3,500 sqm dotted with ornamental flowers and shrubs. In the midst of the greenery, a few meters from the building, is the 14 x 7 m swimming pool surrounded by a terracotta and grass sunbathing area. In a corner of the garden, near the warehouse, there are four solar panels for producing hot water.
