What makes it special: Emblem of Tuscan fortifications erected between the Middle Ages and Renaissance, this historic building adorned with monumental cypresses is the central body of a broader ancient hamlet, composed by evocative farmhouses. In the 1950s, the castle was home to film director Luchino Visconti and following the acquisition by Belmond Group, the already magnificent structure with internal cloister, Etruscan artifacts and infinity pool overlooking bucolic landscapes, has been enriched by a spectacular thousand rose garden and unmatched serenity. Equally pleasant is relaxing to the sounds of nature in the exquisite comforts of the spacious refined rooms, furnished with precious period furniture all contemporary amenities.
