Il Palazzetto is a substantial and characterful historic Tuscan farmhouse, set amidst the beautiful countryside around Siena, with an important collection of rural buildings, and magnificent views over the surrounding landscape.

Dating back to the 18th century, the property still retains the traditional layout of a large Tuscan farm estate: the main house, the U- shaped courtyard and other agricultural outbuildings form an extensive and highly versatile ensemble, creating an atmosphere of remarkable peace and tranquillity.

A cypress-lined avenue leads to the main  house and courtyard, beautifully shaded by a magnificent wisteria

THE COURTYARD AND OUTBUILDINGS
Here is where the authentic character of the property is most strongly felt: the large internal courtyard, traditionally arranged in a U-shape, forms the heart of the estate.
It includes the original bread oven and two traditional barns, while the complex is completed by an old pigsty, a large former stable and storage building, and a spacious external canopy.
The variety of buildings and their arrangement around the courtyard offer numerous possibilities for restoration, conversion and architectural reconfiguration.

MAIN HOUSE
Ground Floor:
 The old cellars offer a succession of spacious rooms, some retain beautiful arched features and openings onto the courtyard and garden, offering interesting possibilities for a future residential project.
First Floor:
 A large external staircase leads to the first floor, preceded by a delightful panoramic loggia. The living accommodation includes an impressive and light-filled double reception room, a large kitchen with a traditional Tuscan  open fireplace, five bedrooms and one bathroom.

THE LAND AND THE VIEWS
Approximately 4.5 hectares of land surround the property.
The slightly elevated position affords magnificent open views across the Sienese countryside, while the size of the land provides privacy and a strong connection with the surrounding landscape.
This is Tuscany at its most authentic: rolling hills, fields, cypress trees and wide-open horizons create the beautiful panorama surrounding the property.

AN ANCIENT HISTORY
Il Palazzetto lies within the traditional rural area of the Pieve  (Country Church) di Santa Innocenza di Piana, an area deeply connected with the history of the local territory.
The historical setting is particularly fascinating: the area was once home to a Grancia dating back to the 11th century, a Granary fortified by the Hospital of Santa Maria della Scala in Siena.
The history of the place is therefore closely intertwined with that of the Sienese territory and with the ancient agricultural organisation of the surrounding countryside.

LOCATION
The property is reached via a short dirt road from the nearby medieval village of Buonconvento, officially recognised as one of Italy’s Borghi più Belli d’Italia — Italy’s most beautiful villages.
Buonconvento provides all essential amenities, including a railway station, pharmacy, supermarkets and local food shops, post office, schools, banks, weekly market, cafés, wine bars and restaurants.
The village also offers a Cinema-Theatre, a Museum of Medieval Art and the Museum of Rural Life (Museo della Mezzadria), important cultural institutions dedicated to the history and heritage of the area. Siena is approximately 35 minutes away.
The property is also only a few minutes from ‘The Club’ at Castiglion del Bosco, the only private golf club in Italy.

IN SUMMARY
Il Palazzetto is a substantial and highly characterful property comprising approximately 600 sq m of buildings, a historic courtyard, numerous rural outbuildings and approximately 4.5 hectares of land.
Dating back to the 18th century, Il Palazzetto was renovated during the 1980s and has long been, and still is, a place where the owners’ extended family gathered together.

The property still retains the atmosphere and charm of an ancient Tuscan farm estate.
An important restoration project for those who appreciate the value of an authentic setting and wish to create a distinctive private residence, bringing new life to its architecture, while preserving and enhancing its extraordinary relationship with the surrounding landscape.

This is Tuscany, as you’ve always imagined it. And it’s here for real.
