A farmhouse with history and panoramic views
This historic estate in Tuscany consists of a large stone farmhouse with annexes, set in an elevated position overlooking vineyards, olive groves, and the iconic cypress-lined hills. The structure, partly in need of restoration, offers wide interior spaces that can be redesigned into luxury villas, guest suites, or a boutique hotel. The surrounding land provides additional value, combining agricultural production with the possibility of experiential tourism.
Restoration and architectural design

Why invest in this Tuscan property

Pienza, UNESCO World Heritage
We are in the heart of the Val d’Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Here the landscape is protected, which means one simple thing: a traditional in-ground swimming pool is not permitted. But it’s not a limitation: with Manini you can have bio-pools or natural swimming ponds with plant-based filtration, outdoor hot tubs integrated among pergolas and local stone, and small scenic reflecting pools. Elegant, sustainable solutions in tune with the identity of the place.
Why you need a signature contractor
Renovating a farmhouse in Pienza is not just a building project: it’s market positioning. If you aim for a luxury villa in Tuscany capable of generating premium rentals and resale value, you need one lead partner that unites branding, design, and construction. That’s what our clients—Italian and international—ask from us: “one team that understands Italian taste, speaks the language of investors, and delivers results.” With Manini you have a partner that sees the home as an experiential brand: identity, story, landscape, materials, light, services. From phase zero to go-to-market. Fewer handoffs, fewer friction points, more coherence and higher returns.
Our 3-act method (clear and practical)
1) Vision & Branding
We analyse the farmhouse and its context, define the target (families, couples, retreats), and build the name, promise, visual style, moodboard, and SEO positioning for queries like “renovate a farmhouse in Tuscany,” “luxury villa in Val d’Orcia,” “farmhouse for rent in Pienza.” We set the budget and the key features the market expects.
2) Design & Smooth Construction
From concept we move to the executive design and site organisation. We define the interior layout (bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, service areas), materials and specifications; we plan structure, envelope, and systems (roof and attic insulation, high-performance windows, radiant heating with dehumidification and mechanical ventilation, and air conditioning in bedrooms). We prepare the schedule and budget with monthly cost control. We coordinate contractors and suppliers with dedicated project management and site supervision. For the client there’s a single point of contact (general contractor in Tuscany) responsible for time, quality, and outcome in the renovation of the farmhouse in Pienza.
3) Go-to-Market & Operations
Emotional photo/video, website with booking, seasonal pricing, the right channels, and professional property management. We aim for healthy occupancy, strong ADR, and 4.8+ reviews—the balance that maximises income and reputation.
Design that sells (and endures)
A Tuscan farmhouse works when it feels born there. Stone façades with soft lime mortar, reclaimed clay tiles, slim-profile wooden windows. Inside: handmade terracotta or pietra serena floors, natural oak in bedrooms, lime-plastered walls with light glazes. Warm, concealed lighting, no glare. Outdoors: low-maintenance native planting (lavender, rosemary, thyme, santolina, sage, rockrose, and ornamental grasses; no olive trees in this microclimate), chestnut pergolas, fire pits, and three-season outdoor living. If the heritage constraint rules out a “classic pool,” a bio-pool or natural pond becomes your plus: natural water, stone edges, and a lagoon effect that raises guest desirability.
Style note (opinion): the best architecture here is quiet. It frames the landscape and lets light and material tell the story of Tuscany.
Requirements for luxury farmhouses
Robust Wi-Fi; comfortable climate control (radiant heating with dehumidification, air conditioning discreetly in bedrooms), chef’s kitchen, equipped laundry, EV charging station, non-intrusive perimeter security. Discreet wellness: sunken outdoor hot tub, compact gym corner, small sauna. Digital guidebook and concierge. These are the details that turn a beautiful farmhouse into a luxury villa ready for rental.
Rental income: what to expect in Pienza
Straight talk: in Val d’Orcia, a 5–6 bedroom farmhouse with views and coherent finishes, professionally managed, can operate with high-season rates around €1,200–€1,600 per night, tapering in shoulder and quieter months. With dynamic pricing and a well-built calendar, annual gross revenue can range ~€190,000 to ~€270,000, depending on occupancy, online reputation, and amenities. The key is positioning: high-level photography, authentic storytelling, the right services, and a property manager who doesn’t undersell prime weeks. This mix pushes ADR (Average Daily Rate) and keeps RevPAR (Revenue per Available Night) high—the numbers that really matter.
Note: indicative values based on benchmarks for high-end villas between Pienza, San Quirico d’Orcia, and Monticchiello. Every property is unique; real potential is measured in the first 90 days of go-to-market.
What makes life easier for investors? (and increases ROI)
One team coordinating branding, design, and construction. A clear roadmap, from survey to turnkey handover, through to the first check-in. Monthly reports on occupancy, revenue, operating costs, and preventive maintenance. Fewer surprises, more control, more income. That’s why many international buyers choose Manini as their signature contractor in Tuscany.
