Luxury in the heart of Tuscany. "You are so beautiful ... to me"
.
Mr. Manager, Mr. Director of Investments,
You and I both know that the real estate market, especially in the luxury hospitality segment, isn't about buying "property"; it's about acquiring "potential." We are not talking about bricks and mortar; we are talking about cash flow, EBITDA, brand equity, and strategic positioning. What I am presenting to you today is not a simple property; it is a turn-key strategic operation in one of the world's most resilient asset classes: experiential luxury in the heart of Tuscany.
Your investment fund seeks assets that not only generate stable returns but also acquire intrinsic value over time, immune to the fluctuations of the mass market. You seek exclusivity.
To understand the real, not just accounting, value of this operation, I invite you to join me in an exercise. This isn't a balance sheet analysis; it's a sensory analysis, fundamental to understanding why the global HNW (High-Net-Worth) market pays a premium for authenticity.
Now close your eyes, hold your breath for a moment, cover your ears, and imagine yourself in an idyllic context where everything blends into the whole. Now take a deep breath through your nose and begin to imagine the enchantment of a place immersed in the natural beauty of the Tuscan and Florentine rolling countryside. The air enters your body, and the scent of the countryside immerses your senses (rosemary, sage, lavender, bay laurel, pomegranates, olives, vines, pines, oaks, and myriad flowers flood your spirit, purifying it from the harmful stress of the city and your work). Happiness invades, penetrates, and advises you to free your ears, and still with eyes closed, you hear the gentle rustle of the wind caressing the leaves of the plants, the sound of the rooster, the buzzard soaring above you. The thrilling silence of nature begins to penetrate the ancestral memories of your mind, taking you back to the beginning, where happiness was achieved simply because one existed.
This is the moment to open your eyes, and behold, the puzzle is complete. The colors embellish your eyes: the green of the meadows and leaves, the blue of the sky, the candid white of the clouds, the iridescent palette from pink to red to violet of the infinite sunsets. And you stand there, helpless, still, with wide-open eyes, admiring, smelling, and listening to everything that the peak of a Tuscan hill—and only a Florentine hill—can convey.
You see the ancient rural dwellings made of exposed brick, skillfully laid one upon the other, as only the mastery of craftsmen could achieve. The loggias, the stairs, the windowsills, the alleys, the plants, the pine forest, and over there, 360 degrees around, life, nature in all its beauty. And you, helpless, lifeless, with only one phrase in your head:
This is the poetry that will envelop anyone who crosses the gate of this magnificent estate, made of 5 independent villas and divided into 8 apartments and 3 superior villas for its clients' stays. Yes, you can see the pool and the panoramic terrace, the nearby artificial lake, the rows of olive trees. It is not a single element that will remain etched in your memory; it is "the whole," and you, there, for an instant, are part of the whole.
ou, Manager or investor, will find an agriturismo business that opened back in 1989, one of the first agricultural resorts in the modern history of Tuscany. Now it is here, for sale, just for you or your investment fund wishing to extend its holdings into the Tuscan enchantment.
The estate is located in Montaione, a municipality in the province of Florence famous worldwide for its magnificent hilly and natural territory. Montaione is unique; its tourist attraction is not its town, but its magnificent territory, a destination for international tourism. This is the ideal place for those who want to continue a business already successfully established since 1989 or for those with ultra-luxury ambitions.
What you have just imagined is the operational reality of the "Borgo di Montaione , a real estate complex located in Località Montaione , which cadastral documents confirm is a vast cluster of buildings and surrounding land.
Its composition (5 villas, 8 apartments, 3 superior villas) is supported by a diversification of housing units we analyzed:
Farmhouse Apartments: Located in the ancient farmhouse, these units (two on the ground floor and two on the first floor ) consist of 2 bedrooms, bathroom, living room, and kitchen. The restoration preserved the historic tuff walls and typical local bricks, details that define the "rustic luxury" the international client seeks.
Tuscan Apartments (2+2): We then find units in typical Tuscan houses with sloping roofs and arched French doors. These are designed for 2+2 people, with one bedroom, bathroom, living room/kitchen, and a lounge with a sofa bed. The addition of a large outdoor portico exponentially increases their livability and prestige.
Superior Units : apartment represents a higher-tier offering, featuring a living room-kitchen with a sofa on a mezzanine, a highly sought-after architectural solution.
Independent Villas : The properties also describe the conversion of old barns into prestigious private residences.
A villa for 2 people with a terrace overlooking the Evola valley, with views extending to the Apennines.
A villa for 4 people with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a large terrace overlooking the pine forest.
A small private house for 2 people (former cart shed) with a porticoed terrace and splendid views of Montaione.
A large barn (4+1 people) with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a large living room with a fireplace and arched French doors, with views extending to Ghizzano and Peccioli.
All units are fully equipped (linens, cookware, dishwasher ), ready for immediate rental income. The presence of common areas such as the pool , the communal oven , and the "resede a comune" (common courtyard) creates that "borgo" atmosphere that fosters a high-level community, distinguishing it from a cold resort.
Manager, let's analyze the location. Why Montaione and not, for example, San Gimignano or Chianti Classico?
Montaione vs. San Gimignano: San Gimignano is a global icon, but it suffers from high-density, "hit-and-run" tourism. For the luxury investor, this is a minus. Montaione, conversely, offers what San Gimignano has lost: space, tranquility, and the authenticity of the territory. Montaione's attraction is not a single congested historic center, but its sprawling countryside, dotted with luxury resorts, golf courses, and equestrian centers. The HNW target does not want crowds; they want the exclusivity of the hill.
Montaione vs. Chianti Classico (Greve, Radda): Chianti Classico has a powerful brand, but it is almost exclusively verticalized on wine. Montaione, while part of the Chianti hills, offers a superior logistical and panoramic advantage: it is the exact heart of Tuscany, equidistant from Florence, Siena, and Pisa. It is also the gateway to Volterra. Its positioning allows clients to explore all of Tuscany with short trips, making it the ideal base for long-stay visits.
Investing here means investing in a perfect climatic and historical ecosystem. The climate is temperate Mediterranean. Winters are mild, allowing for near year-round tourism operations. Summers are hot and dry, mitigated by the hilly altitude (340m a.s.l.), making the pool and terraces the centers of resort life. The shoulder seasons, spring and autumn, are long and magnificent, ideal for food and wine tourism, trekking, and cycling, attracting a luxury clientele that travels off-season.
The history of Montaione is not secondary; it is a selling point. With Etruscan and Roman origins, Montaione became a fundamental castle of the Florentine Republic in the Middle Ages, a strategic bastion contested by Volterra. This historical legacy permeates the architecture. It was also a renowned center for the art of glassmaking. To purchase this estate means to purchase a piece of Florentine history, a story your future luxury clients will pay to experience.
An investor knows that accessibility is everything. Montaione is strategically located less than an hour from the international airports of Florence (FLR) and Pisa (PSA), serving all major European, American, and Middle Eastern routes.
But the real added value, as requested, is the journey to get there. Whether coming from Florence or Pisa, once you leave the highway, the SR429 or the provincial roads that climb towards Montaione are not a mere transfer: they are an immersion. It is a panoramic and evocative journey, a "decompression" from city stress. The hills, the rows of cypresses, the vineyards, and olive groves streaming past the window are a preview of the exclusivity that awaits them. Arriving at "borgo di montaione" is not a check-in; it is a homecoming.
The Investment Proposal
You are facing two scenarios, both with extremely high potential:
Continuity (Turn-Key): Acquire a historic business, successfully operating since 1989, with a loyal international clientele and proven processes. A low-risk operation with immediate cash flow.
Re-positioning (Ultra-Luxury): Use this magnificent estate as a blank canvas for a rebranding operation in the ultra-luxury segment. The diffused hamlet structure, the location, and the authenticity of the materials lend themselves perfectly to creating a 5-star luxury "Retreat," with private chef services, dedicated concierge, and experiential wellness.
This estate is a trophy asset. It is the answer to the growing demand for sustainable, private, and experiential luxury. It is ready for your fund.

Asset Analysis: "Borgo Montaione" - A Diffused Hamlet (Borgo)

Strategic Positioning: The Montaione Competitive Advantage
Manager, let's analyze the location. Why Montaione and not, for example, San Gimignano or Chianti Classico?
Montaione vs. San Gimignano: San Gimignano is a global icon, but it suffers from high-density, "hit-and-run" tourism. For the luxury investor, this is a minus.

It is also the gateway to Volterra. Its positioning allows clients to explore all of Tuscany with short trips, making it the ideal base for long-stay visits.
The Montaione Ecosystem: History and Climate
Investing here means investing in a perfect climatic and historical ecosystem. The climate is temperate Mediterranean. Winters are mild, allowing for near year-round tourism operations. Summers are hot and dry, mitigated by the hilly altitude (340m a.s.l.), making the pool and terraces the centers of resort life.

Accessibility: The Journey as Part of the Luxury
An investor knows that accessibility is everything. Montaione is strategically located less than an hour from the international airports of Florence (FLR) and Pisa (PSA), serving all major European, American, and Middle Eastern routes.
