OMG, the coolest, awesome, magnificent, probably haunted, home converted from a 1522 convent in Pitigliano, Italy, in Tuscany, has the witchiest fireplace just in time for Halloween. 10bds, 8ba, $5,177,453.

How many skeletons are down in this rusty old well?

The entrance hall. Look at the ancient walls, now whitewashed.

Is this not the consummate witches fireplace? The living room is gorgeous with its tile floor and curved wall.

Amazing. The kitchen looks like ancient catacombs. Look at the old vats that they must've stomped on grapes in and the old wine barrels on display. How cool is that? The nuns must've had purple feet for sure.

A cozy sitting area with fireplace outside the kitchen. This home is gorgeous - the ancient walls!

This looks like a pantry.

Lovely reading room. Look at the niche in the wall. You can't see much of the ceiling, but it looks brick and vaulted.

Great bath with the antique tub resting on stones.

Elegant bedroom. Look at the flower pattern in the floor tile and the way they made the closet in the corner.

This large bedroom has a heat hearth.

This bath looks like an elegant French style.

Beautiful smaller bedroom. Notice the ancient doors.

Cheery yellow-striped bedroom.

This long hallway has a brick heat stove.

Like a fairy tale.

The lush green grounds are stunning.

I wonder what behind the gate. Maybe a chapel or wine cellar?

This place is so dreamy.

Ancient walls. This area looks like the perfect spot for a garden.

But, that's not all. Look at this beautiful pool.

Stunning property on a 26 acre lot.

To his wife Clarice at Florence Milan, 22 July 1469

I have arrived here safely and am well. I am sure this will please you more than any other news save that of my return, judging by my own feelings of longing for you and for home. Make much of Piero, Mona Contessina, and Mona Lucrezia. I shall hasten to finish here and return to you, for it seems to me a thousand years since I saw you. Pray to God for me, and if you want anything from here let me know, so long as I have not already left. -From Milan, July 22, 1469

If you are in need of a larger home, this villa, that from the 15th to the 19th century, was added onto by the Acciaioli family, has 58 bedrooms, and 87 baths! Now, that can accommodate the whole gang, and then some. It's in Cerbaia, Florence, Tuscany Italy. The price is available upon application to buy. And, it has some great murals.

You get gorgeous Baroque sculpture and a painting just like the Sistine Chapel.

What a lovely, sunny room that opens to a terrace.

Didn't I tell you that it had great murals? Look at the gaiety of this one with minstrels, clowns, etc.

Beautiful dining room. This place isn't creepy, it gets lots of natural light.

Every day dining room steps up to a nice family room.

It has 5 reception rooms. I like this casual one with the fireplace and loft.

This is a more formal one. It's big, light and bright with a beautifully painted ceiling.

Like how the rooms have different looks. This is a more rustic Tuscany style.

With 58 bedrooms it needs a dining space to accommodate a crowd. Wish they showed a photo of the fireplace- it looks fabulous.

Look at the mural in this bedroom, plus the ceiling over the bed. Gorgeous sitting area with a sleep alcove.

The bedrooms are very large. They do use a lot of beige in here, though.

Which to choose? Different styles of bedrooms.

Of course it has its own chapel.

Has some cool courtyards and balconies and things.

Got to have a tower, too.

I wonder if they have cell phone service b/c no one would ever find you in this home.

And, a beautiful pool.

Amazing grounds.

Anybody handy with a hedge trimmer?

No matter where you look, there's a beautiful view of Tuscany.

This is gorgeous.

View of some of the rooftops.

And, one of several terraces. There's 27.18 acres of property.

There is virtue to just getting through turbulent times.
