Tuscany, Siena, Sarteano, Italy

Once in a lifetime chance to own the birthplace of Pope Pio III, immaculately restored, turn key and just a stone's throw from Sarteano's piazza

Located in the heart of the historic centre of Sarteano, between the World Heritage site of the Val d'Orcia and the Valdichiana, Palazzo Pio III has been recently beautifully restored.

The property was the birthplace of Pope Pius III (Francesco Todeschini Piccolomini, 1439-1503) and is located a few steps away from the town's main square. Hidden in a small side street, the entrance welcomes you with an enchanting travertine portal carved in bas-relief with floral motifs and the crests of the Piccolomini-Todeschini family.

Inside there are three large suites with luxury bathrooms, a reception room, and a living/ relaxing area created in the ancient cellars where a cave has been unearthed, that seems to be an ancient secret passage that led to the castle.
