Description

A one-of-a-kind historic residence

In the heart of the Prato hills, in one of the most private and panoramic locations in the area, stands this extraordinary home created within an ancient convent founded in the 14th century. The property represents an independent and self-contained portion of the original convent complex, fully restored to an exceptional standard. The renovation has brought the spaces back to their original splendor while incorporating every modern comfort.

The result is a rare and valuable balance: the strength and charm of medieval architecture — thick stone walls, grand volumes, and ceiling heights up to 3 meters — blend seamlessly with contemporary finishes, compliant systems, and interiors finished to the highest standard. A home ready to be lived in from day one, with no further work required.

The spaces
The property is arranged over three levels — basement, ground floor, and first floor — for a total surface area of 318 sqm, offering generous, bright spaces full of character.

On the ground floor, there is an elegant entrance and a bedroom with bathroom and laundry area, ideal for staff accommodation.

On the first floor, a spacious open-plan living area with 3-meter ceilings creates an exceptional sense of light and volume, alongside a fully equipped kitchen. This level also includes three bedrooms and three bathrooms, all renovated with great attention to detail, using carefully selected materials and high-quality finishes. A panoramic terrace overlooking the surrounding hills completes the floor, offering authentic Tuscan views.

The property also includes a garage and a large private outdoor space surrounded by greenery, ideal for relaxing or hosting guests in complete privacy.

The location
Via Giolica Alta is one of the most peaceful and sought-after areas in the Prato region, set within a landscape of olive groves, cypress trees, and typical Tuscan woodland. The location ensures maximum privacy and tranquility while remaining conveniently close to the main towns and infrastructure of the region.
