TOWER FOR SALE IN MONTICCHIELLO VAL D'ORCIA

The first references to the fortified hamlet of Monticchiello are found in a sales act from 755 and in an inventory of fortifications from 973, but its origins probably extend to the Etruscan times.
Part of the municipality of Pienza, the village is located within the Province of Siena.
The rolling cultural landscape of Val d’Orcia has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage sites.
The region is known for its Pecorino cheese made from sheep’s milk and for its wines: the Vino Nobile of Montepulciano and the Brunello of Montalcino, both from local Sangiovese grapes, rank among Italy’s top red wines.  
Among the medieval fortifications of the area, only this tower, built in 1256-57, has survived.
In the summer of 1967, the Finnish sculptress Eila Hiltunen visited Italy to see some potential structures suggested by the Italian Castles Association and she felt in love with this little jewel.
It took the following three years to convert the Torre from ruins into a home.
The exterior, renewed in 2006,  was under strict supervision by the antiquities authorities, but the interior could be designed freely. 

PERIOD PROPERTY FOR SALE IN FLORENCE, TUSCANY

On a panoramic position among the Tuscan hills of Chianti, we find this elegant period property, built around a medieval tower. The complex has been built in the thirteenth century, when the gentlemen of the county raised its tower house as an expression of power and dominion over the territory.
In the middle of the fourteenth century the estate was bought by a wealthy Florentine family of tanners who enlarged the estate.
In the early seventeenth century the property was sold to the Benedictine monks who brought fame to the structure until XIX Century, when they left the monastery.
A careful restoration has given style and charm to this old complex, making it a luxury solution to explore the small towns of the magical hills, rich in history, like Castellina, Radda in Chianti and the beautiful Siena.
The structure consists of a main house of 670 square metres composed of seven exclusive apartments
The Resort is nestled in 10 hectares of land with one hectare of park with swimming pool and includes one hectare of olive grove and 8 hectares of forest with chestnut and oak trees.
