Charming and luxury Relais in the very heart of the Tuscan countryside, realized within an ancient sighting tower. Unique property. Excellent investment.

Amidst the sweet slopes of the Tuscan countryside where majestic cypress trees parade in one of the most beautiful Tuscan areas, well known for its famous vineyards of Chianti grapes, there lies a tiny medieval hamlet, incredibly well kept. Right at the centre of this unique land, famous for its landscape, climate, art, culture and food, rises this incomparable property, a former lookout-tower dating back to the 13th century. Each wall and street of the ancient village tells something about history, peasants, squires, wars and strives between Siena and Florence; that’s why the old borough is patronized by the Ministry for Cultural heritage.

Guarnellotto Tower has been properly celebrated by the best International architecture and travel magazines. Nowadays the property is the entrance to a forgotten world, made of intense scents, of wooden vats hiding bathtubs, of ancient woods telling, at each creaking pace, a little more of their jealously guarded secrets.

Here every tiniest detail is taken care of and considered as an inseparable part of the masterpiece: at the Guarnellotto tower you can enjoy wine therapy: all-involving fragrance baths, plunged into a fascinating vat, that magically becomes a dining table; an incredibly well crafted forged iron gate divides this area from the kitchen on the ground floor, once part of the ancient cellars, whose wooden barrels have become a suggestive unique bedroom, with an all the same unique bathroom.

On the upper floors there are a large dining/living room with old fireplace, another kitchen, the terrace and 3 suites, furnished with antiques coming from the owner’s private dwellings. All the selected furniture seems to speak of the persons who the rooms are named after; Leopoldo di Toscana, Violante di Baviera and Cosimo de Medici.
All suites are individually equipped with air conditioning, satellite television, VHS and DVD, telephone with a direct line and office facilities, mini-bar and safe. The bathrooms are enormous, with antique mirrors.
All furniture is included in the price.

The property is at the moment run as a prestigious relais/boutique hotel for selected clients, with an occupation rate of 80 %. It could nevertheless become a private house, very exclusive and unique, ideal for those who can appreciate this kind of taste and historicity.
It’s included in the sale also a valuable plot of land of about 8.000 sqm in the Chianti Classico area, where it could also be possible to make a pool.
