Property description
Description
Located in exquisite scenery, walking distance to a fantastic restaurant, only 10 minutes from a Tuscan town, this fully restored, 200 sqm stone house with 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms with fenced garden and gated parking area is very impressive. This property has been set up so it could be run as a B6B but equally would make a wonderful family home.
Casa del Vescovo is so named because it was the summer residence of a Bishop (Vescovo in Italian); it was built in the XII century as a military watchtower in the shape of a Roman Tower. A small chapel in the basement although deconsecrated is a testimony of its past association with the Church; in the local lore there are rumours of a secret tunnel but it has never been found.
The property has recently been lovingly restored to a modern internal finish while retaining many of the original features. It contains seven bedrooms and five bathrooms and a further two guest toilets, over three floors. There are also 2 kitchens, one on the ground floor and one on the second floor next to the panoramic terrace.
