18th-Century Palazzo with garden, Sinalunga, Siena - Tuscany
A historic four-storey gem, partly restored, with garden and cellars, perfect for boutique hospitality or private residences for sale in Sinalunga. Set in the heart of authentic Tuscany, where rolling hills overlook the Valdichiana valley, this captivating 18th-century palazzo with private garden is a rare expression of architectural elegance and exclusive potential. Framed by a scenographic and strategic location within the historic centre of Sinalunga, the property extends over four levels and more than 700 square meters (7793 sq ft) of interior space. Currently undergoing a sophisticated restoration project launched in 2023, the palazzo is being carefully returned to its former grandeur. The work carried out thus far has focused on a meticulous structural consolidation and the revival of original period features — from exquisite majolica and marble floors to exposed wooden beams, vaulted brick ceilings, and historic cellars. The residence opens onto a beautifully secluded private garden of approximately 800 square meter, bordered by a centuries-old park and a charming piazza, offering wide and evocative views. Planning permission has already been granted for the construction of a swimming pool, a feature that would enhance the prestige and lifestyle appeal of the entire property. Internally, the rooms are flooded with natural light and enjoy sweeping vistas over the Church of Santa Croce and the surrounding Tuscan countryside. High ceilings and authentic architectural detailing preserve the historical character of the home, while the principal reception rooms, arranged across the noble floors, exude refined Renaissance charm. The uppermost level, framed by skylights and dormer windows, leads onto a private rooftop terrace with panoramic views across the rooftops of the medieval town. The ground floor features original rustic cellar rooms with direct access to the town street on one side and to the garden at the rear, offering exceptional potential for conversion into characterful living spaces, creative studios, or hobby rooms. Below, the basement reveals an ancient cave that still retains its original historical atmosphere. The restoration project offers ample scope to tailor the interiors to individual tastes and lifestyle, and is supported by fully approved plans and permits, ensuring a seamless path from vision to completion. This palazzo is ideally suited for boutique hospitality, with the potential to create up to 12 en-suite rooms, elegant and charming recreational spaces. The added value of outdoor areas, including the private garden and approved swimming pool, further enhances the guest experience. There is also the option to divide the property into four independent residences, presenting a valuable opportunity for high-end private use or as a luxury hospitality venture. Sinalunga lies in a privileged position at the crossroads of Tuscany and Umbria, just a short distance from Siena, the Chianti wine region, Cortona and Lake Trasimeno. Rich in history and local tradition, the town is also famed as the birthplace of the prized Chianina cattle — the largest breed in the world and a symbol of Tuscan excellence. This extraordinary residence is a great opportunity to invest in a timeless property that unites heritage, elegance and modern vision in one of Italy’s most treasured landscapes.
