The estate also includes two traditional Tuscan farmhouses, offering an additional 1,200 sqm of accommodation just a short distance from the abbey, ideal for exclusive hospitality or independent private residences.
Surrounded by over 100 hectares of unspoilt countryside, the property offers complete privacy, breathtaking landscapes and exceptional tranquillity, while remaining approximately 40–45 minutes from Florence.
