The ancient abbey ruins were then transformed into a delightful residence, enhanced by a charming private chapel. In the 18th century, the illustrious Bacci family of Arezzo took ownership of the property, completing its definitive architectural transformation. Through meticulous restoration work and the creation of spectacular enclosed gardens, the property established itself as an exceptional stately home, gradually becoming a favourite retreat for eminent figures in international history.Ref.0614
