Classic country-style borgo with 17 bedrooms, 180 seat-restaurant, spa, pool, solar panels, vineyard, for sale in Gaiole in Chianti, Siena. Premium location in the heart of Chianti Classico surrounded by millenary castles, 30 minutes south of Florence and only 15 miles north of Siena, on the route from Radda to Gaiole in Chianti, outstanding country hotel facility featuring a centuries old former farmhouse with wellness centre, swimming pool, restaurant, guest house and staff quarters, complete with parking, garden, on 32 acres of private land boasting oak forests, olive groves and a vineyard re-planted in 2021. The Three Arches country estate was entirely renovated between 2003 and 2006, but left unused and abandoned for the past 15 years and therefore is in need of general maintenance and upgrade to bring a centuries old hamlet back to life. The beating heart of the estate consists of a 15th-century farmhouse conserving its original natural stone façades and three central arches opening onto a striking brick interior colonnade. On two floors and equipped with an internal elevator, it preserves the charm of stone walls and wood-beamed ceilings. The lobby and foyer lead to elegant reading rooms with glass walls overlooking the garden and the oak forest, and to the twelve bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms. All rooms are fitted with air conditioning and decorated in rustic-style with fireplaces, terracotta floors and wooden window frames. The outdoors have been paved in terracotta tiles, creating a belvedere and terraces connecting to the old farm annexes, converted to tourist facilities. In a private corner of the park, surrounded by oak trees, is a stone cottage with guest flats for a further three bedrooms, all combined to living areas furnished with a kitchen. Connected to the manor house by a tunnel-style subway, a building is dedicated to the banqueting and catering area with a total capacity of 180 covers. On the upper floor, two staff quarters with a total of three bedrooms and two living areas. The swimming pool and sundeck are paved and bordered in natural stone and lead to the wellness center building. With stone facades and a portico, is designed with a Jacuzzi area and Kneip path, sauna, Turkish bath, fitness room, massage cabins and changing rooms. All buildings are equipped with technical rooms for storage and plant use, as well as a separate building dedicated to central plant and laundry room. Slightly detached from the restaurant/banqueting building is an outdoor area with a photovoltaic system and solar panels. Much of the plant engineering and the swimming pool need to be checked after the long period of non-use. The Three Arches offers excellent potential both as a luxury tourism hospitality resort or as a private historical country residence in an outstanding prime location in the heart of Chianti Classico.
