Description
Casale Il Convento nel Bosco, Sarteano, Siena – Tuscany.
In an extremely suggestive position, close to the famous Celle di San Francesco in Sarteano, for sale an ancient Franciscan convent. Like many of the Farti Cappuccini convents, this one too is located in an extremely suggestive position immersed in the woods that dominate the medieval village of Sarteano. The convent consisted of a chapel with three arches in front of the churchyard, a rectory, a cloister and cells. The surface area of the property, to be completely restored, is approximately 600 gross square meters with land and woodland of approximately 4 hectares with centuries-old chestnut trees. The boundary wall of the convent still exists which delimits the property and which makes it extremely private and welcoming. The current convent was founded, or rather renovated in the mid-1500s, on top of an existing one created by the followers of the Franciscan order to safeguard and protect that place which was so dear to the Saint, who, around 1212, stopped in the woods of Sarteano during the days linked to temptations and in which he used to retire to natural caves, creating small cells with a stone bed on which to rest for the night. The cells are still visible and can be visited in the woods around the property.
