Considered one of the most beautiful fortified structures in Tuscany, the castello dates back to 1424, built for the Florentine Pucci family by famed Renaissance architect Filippo Brunelleschi, creator of the Duomo in Florence.

Nestled in the Florentine hills and protected by moats, medieval walls, and towers, the historic residence has hosted luminaries and important figures throughout history, including Pope Leo X De 'Medici and the King of Italy, Vittorio Emanuele.

The main castello is positioned around a central courtyard, overlooking Renaissance gardens. The 30-bedroom property is run as a boutique hotel in the Tuscan countryside, just 30 km from Florence and 50km from Siena.

The impressive estate is surrounded by olive groves with over 3000 trees, in addition to a 66 acre vineyard for Chianti Colli Fiorentini currently in production.

The entire estate spans nearly 3000 acres with 15 villages offering over 32,000 square feet of space to be restored, as well as a fine Tuscan villa featuring frescoed walls and a chapel, and a thriving agrotourism enterprise.
