Eight stone buildings in Il Poderone,Tuscany, which have been converted into 30 homes with a shared swimming pool, are for sale from €162,275 to €384,545 through the Azur assistance agency.

The conversions are in sympathy with the original Tuscan buildings. The apartments are set in a landscaped garden and each of the units has a balcony or terrace. The scheme is surrounded by vineyards.

Apartment sizes range from 65sq m (699sq ft) to 110sq m (1,184sq ft).

The development is in south-west Tuscany, in the Maremma: the Brunello vineyards are nearby, and it's not far from beaches at Argentario and Capalbio, or the Elba archipelago. The countryside is suited to hiking, mountain-biking, sailing and swimming.
