Ref. 1620897
In the heart of the Florentine hills about 30 kilometers from Florence and 50 from Siena lies this splendid Tuscan Castle built in 1424 by the noble and prestigious Florentine Pucci family , enumerated without doubt among the most beautiful fortified structures in Tuscany, built to a design attributed to the well-known architect Filippo Brunelleschi, creator of the Dome of the Cathedral of Santa Maria Del Fiore: the building, located in the middle 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 in addition to the great condottieri 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 towers at the corners, the clock tower, the inner courtyard of the Villa with its graffiti plaster, the loggia with four arches and the chapel for religious services.
The manor house consists of a structure of about 3,000 square meters, revolving around a large courtyard of historical charm, overlooking an original Renaissance-era garden. Inside are numerous reception rooms and a part dedicated to offices and reception, while on the upper floors are the luxurious Suites , the heart of the tourist business that makes it a jewel of Tuscan receptivity.
In the 1,200 hectares that make up this unique estate, there are 15 other hamlets totaling more than 30,000 square meters , including a historic Renaissance villa with an aristocratic chapel and frescoed halls.
The buildings on the property are currently in need of renovation and some are collaborating, excluding one of them where there is a thriving agritourism business.
The land is mainly woodland,some arable while others are dedicated to the cultivation of about 3,000 olive trees.
There is no shortage of vineyards currently in production for about 27 hectares of Chianti Colli Fiorentini.
