15th Century Castle in the Tuscan Hills Near Florence
A short distance from the Renaissance capital of Florence, Italy, the Tuscan castle for sale was built on the foundations of an ancient watchtower for the Cavalcanti Family of Florence in 1427.
In the 1860s, Baron Angelo Adolfo Levi, a banker and prominent member of the Florentine Jewish elite, improved the grounds with the addition of an Italian garden and later commissioned a restoration of the castle under the Florentine Art Nouveau architect, Gino Coppedè.
With its Liberty-style influences and a distinct medieval heritage, the castle makes a striking first impression, nestled in the heart of its 55 acre Tuscan estate with vineyards.
The 26,371 square foot castle comes with frescoed ballrooms, featuring intricate detailing, vaulted ceilings, and magnificent fireplaces.
There are 17 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms, positioning this property perfectly to become a boutique hotel or a luxury rental for intimate retreats in the Tuscan countryside.
Surrounded by 19th century Italian gardens, the property has been recently upgraded with a new swimming pool, offering panoramic views over the Tuscan countryside.
Frequently used for special events and private functions, the terraced lawns are perfect for entertaining well into the late hours, illuminated by the glowing lights of the castle and under the twinkling stars of the Tuscan night sky.
