Il Mecenate

Tuscany – Sarteano (SI) – The property “Il Mecenate” is a charming historic residence, completely renovated, located in the heart of the historic town centre of Sarteano, just a few steps from the main square. This building, with a surface area of about 300 sqm, rises on four levels and was the birthplace of Pope Pius III, Francesco Todeschini Piccolomini (1439-1503). The suggestive travertine portal, embellished with floral reliefs and family crests, enhances its historical importance. Inside, the apartment comprises a welcoming entrance area, three large suites with luxurious en-suite bathrooms, a modern and functional kitchen, a large living area as well as a relaxation area located in the historic cellars. On the underground level, a cave has been brought to light, probably a secret access to the castle, visible through a glass floor. The interior design combines antique furniture and contemporary design pieces, creating a unique and cultural ambience, with a variety of books and works by the local sculptor Mauro Fastelli that further enrich the flair of the space. Strategically located, “Il Mecenate” offers an ideal starting point to explore the wonderful Tuscan landscapes with their historic villages, lush hills, and picturesque views. This meticulously renovated property is ideal not only as a lovely private home, but also as an opportunity for holiday rentals, making it a perfect choice for those seeking a corner of paradise in one of the most marvellous areas of Southern Tuscany.
