Settled in the Chianti hills, only a few minutes from the village of Impruneta, and 14 km from Florence, stands the thirteenth century castle and an ancient rural village surrounded by olive trees, vineyards and an age-old wood in which it is possible to admire all the species of trees and animals that are typical of the Mediterranean bush; and in which Giacomo Puccini, friend of the noble owners, dabbled himself in hunting.
Today an adjacent wing of the castle has been refurbished in the original style of the settlement and divided into apartments for vacation rental.
Swimmingpool
The four apartments (1 for 6 people, 1 for 4, 1 for 3 and 1 for 2), the double bedroom and the detached cottage retain their warmth and simplicity in the antique country elegance of the furnishings, the terracotta floors and the original wooden beams. All apartments are fully-equipped and have independent central heating, ventilation system and television.
External view
In the yard one can have barbecues and taste the excellent products of the farm: extra virgin olive oil, Chianti wine and vinegar, and honey. In the wood it is possible to go trekking.
Besides all the other external areas of the castle, our guests can wander in the classic Italian garden of the castle.
The village of Impruneta (1.5 km) is only a short walk away and Florence is 14 km away. Siena (65 km), Arezzo (78 km), Pisa (92 km) and Lucca (85 km) are reachable in approximately an hour by car. Nearby, there is also the famous 18-hole Golf Club Ugolino (6 km), a horse-riding school (3 km), a sports centre and a swimming pool (6 km).
