Pistoia / Lucca (Tuscany, Italy), just 50km from Florence and a short distance from the sea, superb old monastery for sale, an Italian architectural jewel still retaining its original features; a group of medieval stone buildings the earliest of which date back to the eleventh century.
Reconstructing the history of this monastic complex involves a journey back to the everyday life of aristocratic, religious and ordinary country people who have left traces of their lives within the walls.
The innumerable changes to the buildings over the many years have been partly for architectural reasons and partly necessity. Notwithstanding all these changes over the centuries, the monastery still retains its original beauty and character.
The restoration project envisages the creation of 20 residential units, a restaurant and numerous parking places.
