5 bedrooms detached house, 348 m²

Torrita di Siena, Siena (province)

Crying out to be brought back to its former glory, this historic palazzo was once the home of the Director of the local mines and even used during the war as an army headquarter. Built using local materials and passed through 3 generations this is a truly unique property with all of its original features. The main house has numerous reception rooms and a large kitchen with huge open fireplace on the ground floor and 5 large bedrooms on the first. With some modernisation and attention to the authentic features this could be a one-of-a kind Bed and Breakfast or family holiday home and rental.
