Charming hotel in historic villa for sale in the hills of Pisa

This charming tourist residence for sale in the Pisan hills has its origins in a farm villa from the late 1700s, whose two large towers, once used as cellars, divided by a wonderful terrace, make it resemble a castle in the distance.
The hotel for sale in Tuscany is immersed in the gentle Tuscan countryside and is bordered by ancient walls. Its architectural features and elegant atmosphere make it an ideal choice for special events and luxury stays.
Access to the property, which rises majestically on a hillock, is provided by two driveway gates that lead us through part of the estate's olive grove to two large car parks; one near the entrance to the historic villa, the other on a lower terrace where the majestic dining room is located.
The residence comprises three main buildings: the historic villa, two buildings perpendicular to the villa, where the ancient towers are located, all united by a magnificent terrace on the ground floor and skilfully connected to the basement, all surrounded by a large park with pleasant walkways and relaxation areas of about 5 hectares. In addition to this land there are another 18 hectares of land where there are 3 hectares of vineyard in production and an olive grove with about 1000 olive trees also in production. On the land there is the possibility of building a swimming pool, making this property even more exclusive.
The villa was expertly renovated in the years 1990-2000 and converted into a relais and event space.

The latter consists of a fascinating space that combines medieval architectural elements with contemporary touches, including a vaulted brick ceiling, old wine barrels, old stone vats turned into charming fountains, and an imposing stone fireplace with a noble coat of arms. This space is very versatile and can be used for elegant ceremonies and other special events. To complete this level, there are toilets for guests, two of which are reserved for the handicapped, and a large storeroom.The wonderful park can also be reached from the restaurant, as it has its own entrance. On the floor below, with independent access, there is a further area currently used for storage with round and round arches. This area would be perfect for a luxury spa. On the upper floors of the villa, there are nine cosy rooms with bathrooms for the distinguished clientele.
In the two tower buildings, on the ground floor there are two large reception rooms with kitchen and guest toilets, and on the first floor six two-room apartments consisting of bedroom, kitchen and bathroom.
