Il Rinascimento is in a fantastic location in the serene, medieval, hilltop town of Monterchi. Monterchi is a small village of approximately 2,000 people set deep in the Tuscan countryside of the Upper Tiber Valley, not far from the border with Umbria. Monterchi is ideally located within easy driving distance of major motorways or railway stations making it an excellent base to explore central Italy and beyond. There are 2 lovely restaurants within walking distance of the property plus many more a short drive away. The property is next to the museum which is home to a famous painting, ‘Madonna del Parto’ by Piero della Francesca, making it a popular tourist destination in the area.
Il Rinascimento was formally a house and was fully renovated by the current owners in 2020 creating a rental apartment on the first floor and a bar and shop on the ground floor.
The property has approx. 60 sq m of habitable space, 10 sq m of storage plus 155 sq m of outdoor space including a large patio, covered area and flower beds. The layout is as follows:
- Ground floor: Bar area with a stone archway leading to shop/ seating area, WC
- Ground floor: spacious terrace including covered area, store room and BBQ
- First floor: Independent entrance, kitchen/living room, bedroom, bathroom
The bar and shop have been run as a business, making the most of the museum visitors and tourists that visit the area as well as locals and second homeowners. The apartment above is a perfect Airbnb rental for an additional income.
The renovation was completed with care ensuring the original features were maintained, whilst updating the heating, plumbing and electrical system. The kitchen area in the apartment is in concrete with built-in shelving and a stone work top.
High wood beamed ceilings are present throughout the home and the floors are tiled with modern terracotta tiles.
The electrical and plumbing systems are all certified and the windows are wood with single glazing and wooden shutters. The boiler is new and all utilities are linked to the mains suppliers.
Il Rinascimento could be converted back into a house, or 2 apartments or kept in its existing layout for anyone ready to run a small business – a wonderful opportunity for a great price.
