description

In the heart of the Tuscan countryside, within the ancient fortified village of Civitella in Val di Chiana, stands this charming B&B, created through the careful restoration of a historic building. The property enjoys a stunning panoramic setting, surrounded by olive groves, vineyards and oak woods, with views stretching across the Val di Chiana and, on the clearest days, as far as Lake Trasimeno.

The village, whose origins date back to around 1385, still retains its authentic medieval character, as evidenced by the imposing keep, sections of the ramparts and the compact layout of the settlement. The building has been restored with great care, preserving the identity of the original architecture whilst integrating it with a contemporary, functional design suited to the needs of a modern accommodation business.

The property is spread over three floors and comprises a total of eight bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. Among the accommodation options are a double room and a room with a splendid panoramic terrace overlooking the valley. The interiors are complemented by a breakfast room and a spacious relaxation area, designed to offer guests cosy, private and pleasant surroundings throughout their stay.

The property is well-suited to continuing as a B&B, but also offers interesting potential for development as a small relais, a residence for exclusive stays, or an investment focused on cultural and food-and-wine tourism. With just eight rooms, it allows for an intimate and personalised experience, particularly suited to an international clientele seeking the most authentic side of Tuscany.

Arezzo, Cortona, Siena, Perugia and Florence are all less than an hour’s drive away, as are famous destinations such as Pienza, Montepulciano and Montalcino. An elegant, charming accommodation that successfully combines history, beautiful scenery, contemporary comfort and a strategic location in the heart of central Italy.
