The bathrooms and kitchens meet modern requirements. In the apartments, there are open fireplaces. The property is equipped with all the necessary machines to produce wine and olive oil.

The fenced-in land includes a parking area with four parking spaces.
Wine, vin santo, vinegar and olive oil are currently being produced on this Tuscan estate and sold to the guests.
The property can be used in numerous ways. The future owners can live in an apartment and rent out the other two or use them to host friends and relatives. The 2nd apartment could be used for holiday rentals.
The barn and the chapel could be used as an atelier, exposition room or concert hall. Here workshops, different courses, weddings and other events could be arranged.
Since there is a great demand for vineyards and agricultural land in the Chianti Classico, there is also the possibility of selling or renting the land out to neighbouring estates.
