The property of about 1,000 sqm, with 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, dates back to the first half of the 12th century and is located in a small hamlet, part of a chain of castles defending the borders between the Republic of Siena and Florence. Theater of numerous battles, the property was expropriated many times, partly damaged, and then rebuilt, preserving signs of every historic family that lived there. The singular facade, with its arched openings, coats of arms, and high crenelated walls, represents a true symbol of power. Despite its fortified exterior, the interiors of the beautiful residence are refined and expertly furnished with remarkable pieces of art. Sumptuous frescoes and coffered ceilings adorn the reception rooms. While the bedrooms located on the upper floors have exposed beams and terracotta floors. On the ground floor, there is a reception hall, a sitting room, an eat-in kitchen, and a dining room with access to a pleasant external courtyard. The main floor features a wonderful winter garden, 2 library rooms, a living room with a working fireplace, and 2 bedrooms with a bathroom, one of which is an attic. The second floor features 4 bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, as well as access to the stupendous panoramic terrace with a 360-degree view of the surrounding hills. The property is completed by 4 suites with independent entrances, excellent for guests or tourist activities. The ancient courtyard of the castle leads to the sumptuous private park of 2 hectares. Part of the garden with lawn includes a swimming pool area with a terraced solarium, changing rooms complete with bathrooms and showers, a small gazebo, and a large veranda with a gym. Part of the property's land includes 157 olive trees, from which it is possible to extract your own oil, and an enclosed parking area for over 5 cars. The property is complete with a large garage with access from the road, as well as a kitchen, a laundry room, a large pantry and a cellar. All rooms are equipped with air conditioning. The building has been skilfully restored by the current owner, who undertook an ambitious recovery project more than 20 years ago, at the end of which the property was notified by the Fine Arts. Furthermore, to date, the castle has obtained the release of the Silver Crown for having passed 25 Quality Controls required by the Residenze d'Epoca Certification Protocol. The property includes the furnishings. REF: 7336
