Description
In the heart of the Florentine hills, about 30 km from Florence and 50 from Siena, there is this splendid Tuscan castle built in 1424 by the noble and prestigious Florentine Pucci family, undoubtedly listed among the most beautiful fortified structures in Tuscany, built on a project of attribution to the well-known architect Filippo Brunelleschi, creator of the Dome of the Cathedral of Santa Maria Del Fiore: the building is located in the center of numerous olive groves, in a dominant position well protected by moats, walls and towers.
Over the centuries, its walls have hosted illustrious figures of the caliber of Pope Leo X De 'Medici, the King of Italy Vittorio Emanuele the third as well as the great leaders and historical figures who populated the adventurous events of this legendary corner of Tuscany.
Architectural motifs of particular interest are the Guelph battlements, the four corner towers, the clock tower, the internal courtyard of the Villa with graphite plaster, the loggia with four arches and the chapel for religious functions.
The manor consists of a structure of approx. 3,000, which revolve around a large courtyard of historical charm, which overlooks an original Renaissance garden. Inside there are numerous reception rooms and a part dedicated to offices and reception, while on the upper floors there are the luxurious Suites, the heart of the tourist business that makes it a jewel of Tuscan hospitality.
In the 1,200 hectares that make up this unique estate, there are 15 other villages for a total of over 30,000 square meters, including a historic Renaissance villa, with a noble chapel and frescoed halls.
The buildings on the property are currently in need of renovation and some collaborators, except for one of these where a flourishing agritourism activity takes place.
The land is mainly woodland, some arable while others are dedicated to the cultivation of about 3,000 olive trees. Do not miss the cultivation of vineyards currently in production for about 27 hectares of Chianti Colli Fiorentini.
