Description
The castle is part of a large farm situated in Valdichiana, between Chianciano Terme and Montepulciano, in the province of Siena.
The castle was founded by a soldier of fortune in the second half of the 15th century and took its actual form in the 19th century. The other buildings of the farm were built around the central part of the castle, the one that is rented, in the course of the centuries.
The impressive building in red bricks and travertine, whose rooms decorated in the traditional Sienese style have retained their medieval atmosphere, and the wide park are an excellent location for celebrating weddings and special events.
Tastings of the olive oil and wine produced in the farm are organised upon request.
The complex is just 4 kilometres from Chianciano Terme thermal baths and is also an excellent departure point for visiting many important Tuscan cities of art, including Montepulciano, Pienza, Montalcino, Siena, Cortona, Anghiari and Arezzo, which are all within short driving distance. Nature lovers can visit the nearby Lake of Chiusi natural protected area. A tennis club, a riding stable and a golf club are just a few kilometres from the farm.
