This castello - a fortified villa built in the XV century - was built as both a fortress to protect the family wealth, and as a country house where to relax. Today the castello and grounds are rented for private functions, and the complex comprises the halls and courtyard of the castello itself, a top restaurant, specializing in traditional and innotave Tuscan cuisine, the production of several top tuscan wines, the castello's own olive oil production, and a few weekly rented apertments.

Pictures above and below show the possible arrangements in the villa. During the summenr months, we prefer to arrange evening receptions for up to 200 guests, in the spacious central courtyard. There is also plenty of internal space for parties, should the weather make this necessary.

There is also a spacious lawn outside of the castello walls, where the aperitifs may be served. One of the most charming aspects of this medieval location in the integrity of the spaces - not much has changed here over the centuries, and when the evening sun sets, and the castle walls are lit up by dozens of oil burning torches, the setting is truly evocative of the midde ages.
