Descrizione

In the heart of Sarteano’s historic center, amid the landscapes of the Val d’Orcia and the hills of the Valdichiana, stands this prestigious 14th-century palace for sale, the birthplace of Pope Pius III. Located just steps from the main square, the building offers exceptional privacy and is accessed through a magnificent carved travertine portal decorated with floral motifs and the coats of arms of the Todeschini-Piccolomini family.

Completely and meticulously renovated in 2021, the four-story palace extends over approximately 387 square meters. At street level, there is an elegant reception area, while the interiors feature a refined balance between history and contemporary design, with antique furnishings, collections of books, works of art, and carefully selected details.

Particularly captivating is the level of the former cellars, which has been transformed into a welcoming living and relaxation area. Here, an original glass floor offers a view of an underground grotto that, according to the property’s tradition, once served as an ancient passage to the village castle, adding even more intrigue to the building’s history.

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

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

Currently operated as a luxury boutique hotel, the palace offers significant potential both for continuing a high-end hospitality business focused on exclusive, personalized service and for converting it into a prestigious private residence, thanks to the quality of its renovation, its historic significance, and its location in the heart of one of Tuscany’s most enchanting villages.
