Medieval Monastery Property for Sale in Tuscany | Chianti Abbey

This historic monastery property for sale is located in the Chianti hills of Tuscany, close to Greve in Chianti and Figline Valdarno. The medieval abbey requires full restoration and offers significant potential for conversion into a private luxury residence, boutique hotel, event venue, or hospitality business. Its scale, architectural elements and landholdings make it an attractive option for investors seeking a large restoration project in a well-known area of Tuscany.

The abbey covers approximately 6,200 sqm (71,016 sq ft) across multiple levels and includes more than 70 rooms, over 30 bedrooms and 30 bathrooms, plus two additional farmhouses that also require renovation. Original architectural details remain throughout the complex, including stone and brick walls, vaulted ceilings, frescoes, terracotta flooring, exposed beams, fireplaces, and a historic cloister with a well. Several wings contain the former church, living quarters, stables and cellars. Many rooms retain period elements that are suitable for restoration and adaptive reuse.

The cellars with vaulted ceilings and stone columns are among the most striking areas of the abbey. At the same time, the residential wing features frescoed walls, old fireplaces, and former kitchen spaces that could be redesigned for private or commercial use. The history of the abbey dates back to before 1040, with documented expansion between the 14th and 17th centuries, and the complex still preserves the character of a medieval monastic settlement.

The two farmhouses (approx. 1,600 sqm / 17,216 sq ft) offer further development potential for guest accommodation, staff housing or independent rental units. The property covers 101.5 hectares (250.8 acres). Around the abbey, approximately 14,000 sqm can be landscaped to create gardens, outdoor event areas, or a swimming pool. The remaining estate consists mainly of woodland with some open clearings.

Access is via an unpaved road, ensuring privacy. Basic services are available in the nearest village (6 km), and Greve in Chianti and Figline Valdarno are both under 30 minutes away. Florence is less than one hour away via the A1 motorway. This Tuscan monastery offers a rare opportunity to restore a large historic estate in a highly regarded area of Chianti.
