Set in the green countryside of Siena and perched upon the hill of Montesiepi lies this historic 5/6 bedroom country residence. It is located between the Abbey of San Galgano and the Chapel of Montesiepi, where the legendary Sword in the Stone is kept. The property was built around the same period as the adjacent Romanesque Church of Montesiepi, and was to become a convent. Much later it came to be used for civil purposes. The owners have since restored the building, respecting the original structure.
The property fits in beautifully within the historic and artistic environment that surrounds it. The momentous doorway, gives way to a double staircase leading to the spacious terrace above, from which one can admire views in every direction - the enchanting panorama or, by night, the view of the illuminated Abbey.
