In the heart of the historic center of Sarteano, amid the landscapes of the Val d’Orcia and the hills of the Valdichiana, stands this prestigious fourteenth-century palazzo for sale, the birthplace of Pope Pius III. Located just a few steps from the main square, the building retains a high degree of privacy and is entered through a splendid carved travertine portal, decorated with floral motifs and the coats of arms of the Todeschini-Piccolomini family.

Completely and meticulously renovated in 2021, the palazzo extends from ground to roof over four levels for a total area of approximately 387 sqm. At street level there is an elegant reception area, while the interiors are characterized by a refined balance between history and contemporary design, with antique furnishings, collections of books, works of art and sophisticated details.

Particularly evocative is the level of the ancient cellars, transformed into a welcoming living and relaxation area. Here, an original glass floor makes it possible to admire an underground cave that, according to the property’s tradition, once formed an ancient passageway to the village castle, adding further charm to the history of the building.

The two upper floors are dedicated to hospitality and include three spacious suites, soundproofed and air-conditioned. The rooms are enhanced by fireplaces and balconies, while the en suite bathrooms are designed as true private wellness areas, with freestanding bathtubs and shower circuits equipped with chromotherapy.

The location in the heart of Sarteano makes it possible to fully experience the authentic atmosphere of the medieval village and represents a privileged base for discovering the Val d’Orcia, the Valdichiana and some of the most renowned destinations in southern Tuscany, while at the same time keeping all services just a few steps from the property.

Currently operated as a luxury boutique hotel, the palazzo offers significant potential both for continuing a high-end hospitality business focused on exclusive and personalized stays, and for being transformed into a prestigious private residence suitable for entertaining, thanks to the quality of the restoration, its historical value and its location in the heart of one of Tuscany’s most charming villages.
