Exclusive "piano nobile" in the heart of Siena (Off Market)

An exclusive apartment in the heart of Siena, inside a historic building that took its current shape in the 18th century built on a previous 15th century layout. An elegant, majestic apartment designed by the important Conti family who intended to use it for ceremonies, weddings and important family celebrations. Thanks to a careful and accurate restoration, this enhances the importance of the large spaces, the high ceilings, the bright rooms and the decorations of the residence. On the second floor one finds 4 bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a dining room, a kitchen, a study and a large living room in what was once the ballroom, decorated in stucco depicting eagles and deer, perhaps heraldic symbols of the counts, with a wooden balcony where the orchestra played. The living room is illuminated by three large windows with access to the balcony. At the entrance one is attracted by the carved wooden doors probably based on a design by Agostino Fantastici, then accompanied towards the common courtyard, a small external and silent corner in the heart of the city. In three living rooms and in the dining room one can admire frescoes by Cino Santi and Liborio Guerrini, famous artists of Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. On the first floor, a mezzanine descending from the kitchen leads to the area once dedicated to the staff: simpler, typical Tuscan with wooden beams on the ceiling which houses the technical rooms, a laundry room, a kitchen, a living room and a bedroom with bathroom. Today it is partly a private residence but it is also used to host ceremonies. A jewel a few steps from Piazza del Campo that offers a magical and timeless atmosphere, as a main residence or used to organize special events.
