Asking €5,190,000 equals €2,595/m² versus the regional median of €533/m² (≈4.9×), so this is a high-end luxury price, not a bargain.

More on the house and the area
A beautifully restored Chianti borgo with classic stone façades, cypress-lined setting, olive groves, vineyard and a private pool — utterly photogenic. Interiors show original character (terracotta vaulted ceilings, wide staircase, fireplaces) and appear move-in ready, but the size and rural location mean substantial ongoing maintenance and running costs.
The listing and its photos show a house you can move into. Anything you spend beyond the price is your choice, not a repair.
- Very large historic estate — significant upkeep, maintenance and running costs
- Rural location — car needed for shops/services and access may be on country roads
- High purchase price and likely taxes/insurance for a property of this scale
