Borgo I campi di Lecci, Rapolano Terme, Siena - Toscana
An eighteenth-century monastery transformed into a charming conference center and the possibility to build a 38-bedroom new building for tourism-hotel use, with a vineyard, truffle, and olive grove in the suggestive area of the Crete Senesi, near Rapolano Terme, Siena. Surrounded by over 40 hectares of private land in the heart of the Crete Senesi between Asciano and Rapolano Terme with fantastic landscape scenarios that change with the seasons, this historic borgo offers privacy and quietness and can be reached by a short, perfectly maintained gravel road. Surviving nucleus of an early eighteenth-century monastery consisting of three stone buildings. It has been restored to its original charm thanks to a meticulous conservative recovery project guided by an illustrious Italian architect, transforming the estate into a small country village with a square, a street, and a courtyard underlined by the terracotta flooring arranged in a spike pattern that reproduces the one in Piazza del Campo in Siena, as well as a small outdoor amphitheater, all together creating a place rich in history and tradition. The main house is on two levels with a large conference centre on the ground floor, large windows, and a beautiful panoramic view surrounding the room, offering a 360° view of the outdoors. With independent access from an external stone staircase, on the first floor a small kitchenette with a fireplace, two meeting rooms and a bathroom. The second stone house, arranged on several levels and with access from the Borgo internal square, offers a large fully equipped 75 sq m / 807 sq ft fully fitted kitchen, a dining area, a toilette, a staff room in the basement, further toilettes, and laundry. The dining room leads to a staircase to the upper floor with three large rooms and a bathroom. The detached barn is one level with a reception area with a living room, studio, bathroom, and closet. The estate consists of approx. 23 hectares of lush forest, 8 hectares of olive groves, and 5 hectares of vineyards (with a potential of approx. 500 quintals of grapes per harvest / approx. 50,000 bottles of IGT Toscana, Chianti Superiore, Chianti Colli Senesi). The estate land also includes approx. 2 hectares of truffle grounds (a prized area for the white truffle-White Gold of the Crete Senesi), 3 hectares of orchards, and a small natural lake for garden and agricultural irrigation. Due to its exclusive position in an extraordinary scenario, whether for private use or agro-tourist accommodation, this property is the perfect home for wine and local product lovers passionate about a place with more significant contact with nature and its fruits in a fascinating historical context.
