This enchanting aristocratic castle, with a spa and pool, offers an exceptional setting for gathering family or friends in the same Montalcino wine region of southern Tuscany.

Elegance, authenticity and modernity are wonderfully married at this 600-hectare top wine estate, dating back to the 1300s and found a 40 min drive south of Siena, close to Montalcino. Historic details such as painted wooden ceilings, original floor tiles and vast stone fireplaces are complemented by modern luxurious bathrooms, a deluxe spa and a unique pool overlooking rolling hills and vineyards.

The estate is surrounded by an intact landscape of rolling hills dotted with historic villas and farmhouses. The drive alone is a delight, and the excitement grows as you reach the cypress-lined drive that leads up to the castle. A double staircase takes you up to a noble entrance hall, decorated in family heirlooms and vintage paintings and a grand piano. A natural flow leads you through the ground floor rooms; a living room, a more intimate sitting room, a formal dining room with seating for 16, and a large well-equipped country kitchen. From here a door leads to the main outdoor area with comfortable garden chairs and a long dining table. The main living room and an additional study/TV room lie on the floor above.

The 12 bedrooms are spread over the castle’s upper floors, the attached tower and an attached vicar’s house. Within the main castle are five double bedrooms, three twins and one single. The two-story vicar’s house has one double and two double or twin rooms, all with ensuite bathrooms, and a living room and kitchen. Each bedroom is uniquely decorated and some have canopy, wrought-iron or carved wood bed frames. The ensuite bathrooms have all been entirely renovated and have large rain showers, stylish wash basins, attractive mirrors and other decorative features.

Guests can soak up the castle’s serene setting within its Italian-style rose garden, manicured lawns and various outdoor sitting areas or during your meals on the alfresco dining terrace. Enjoy a game of tennis on the private court or take a refreshing dip in the large pool, before relaxing on a sun bed facing the sweeping views of the rolling hills and vineyards. Further relaxation can be enjoyed in the villa’s private spa with a gym and a sauna.

The property produces really good red and rosé wines from 8 hectares of vineyards, and wonderful organic olive oil. Wine tastings and cooking demonstrations with the castle’s local cook can be arranged.

Please consider this property as an adult property. Only 12 years old and up would be preferable.
