About the Property

Prestigious castle of great historical significance, originally dating back to 1134, situated in a commanding position on the hills just 30 minutes from the historical center of Florence, Italy. This remarkable property encompasses approximately 25,000 square meters, currently divided into five independent apartments, with the potential for reconfiguration into a single residence while fully respecting its architectural characteristics and historical constraints. The castle boasts an impressive array of approximately 100 rooms, including 20 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms, characterized by spacious reception rooms adorned with vaulted ceilings, significant frescoes, and stone fireplaces. The Renaissance style is evident throughout, with decorative elements that enhance the charm of the interiors. Notable features include internal courtyards, large panoramic terraces, and two expansive loggias that further enhance the livability of the spaces. The scenic private square of over 2,000 square meters serves as both parking and a venue for exclusive events, receptions, and weddings, while the front park, cultivated with olive trees, offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding landscape and the Florence Cathedral in the distance. The castle has been a residence for notable figures, including Grand Duke Leopold II and prominent Florentine families such as the Aleotti, Rimbettini, and Lappacci. In the early 16th century, it became associated with the Salviati family, linked to Cosimo de’ Medici, marking its significance in the social rise of the era.
