Apartment

Description

Immersed in the timeless quiet of a 15th-century farmhouse, along the historic Via Francigena and just a few steps from the majestic Castello della Chiocciola, stands CASA MERSE: an apartment that embodies the authentic charm of Tuscany.

Located in the municipality of Monteriggioni, only five minutes from Siena and forty from Florence, the property is the result of a refined restoration project that has brought new splendor to an ancient complex comprising eleven apartments and an evocative deconsecrated chapel, a tangible sign of its history.

Casa Merse is situated on the second floor of the villa, which is served by an elevator, and extends over approximately 100 sqm. The spacious living area with open-plan kitchen welcomes with light and warmth, while the two double bedrooms and two modern bathrooms complete a layout designed to combine comfort and functionality.

Currently, the apartment does not include a garden or private outdoor spaces, but there is the possibility to purchase them separately, adjusting size and conditions to one’s needs.

Set in a highly prestigious context, just a stone’s throw from the Castle of Monteriggioni, Casa Merse represents a safe and versatile investment, ideal both as a personal residence and for income through tourist rentals.

Monteriggioni, with its unmistakable stone crown dominating the hilltop, is one of the oldest and most iconic villages in Italy. The Castle, founded by the Republic of Siena in the early 13th century, preserves the magic of the Middle Ages intact and still tells stories of battles, journeys, and pilgrimages.

One of the most authentic ways to experience this land is to explore it slowly, on foot or by bicycle, along the trails that cross it. Among them, the Via Francigena offers one of the most memorable experiences: Stage 32, from San Gimignano to Monteriggioni, is one of the most scenic and beloved by travelers from all over the world.

Just a few steps away, the wonders of Valdelsa and Valdicecina unfold, not to mention Siena, guardian of a unique medieval architectural heritage recognized worldwide. The landscape of the Montagnola Senese accompanies each day with its woods and rolling hills, offering trekking routes, horseback rides, and cycling itineraries that follow in the footsteps of medieval pilgrims. And in no time, you can reach some of Tuscany’s most treasured gems: San Gimignano, Volterra, Montalcino, San Galgano, and Colle Val d’Elsa.
