Castle Sale In Castelfiorentino (Fi)

Description

Located in the enchanting Tuscan countryside, just a few kilometers from Florence, this extraordinary castle is available for purchase. It is a historic residence built in the 15th century by an aristocratic family. Considered one of the most fascinating castles in the area, it has hosted important personalities over time, including popes and kings, who have often chosen it as the venue for significant events. An inscription in the main hall attests to Pope Paul III Farnese's stay in 1541.^^The castle's six hundred years of history still live on today in its grandeur: from the frescoed halls to the loggia and the outer courtyard, from the magnificent garden to the large hall that can accommodate up to one hundred and eighty guests for memorable events. The vast Renaissance-style inner courtyard provides a perfect setting for outdoor receptions or dinners under the stars.^^Perched on top of a hill and defended by moats, imposing walls, and towers, this prestigious residence offers a unique charm experience, nestled among olive groves and vineyards. The castle's agricultural estate is still active today, producing extra virgin olive oil and high-quality wines, processed in the historic cellars.^^The castle's architecture is rich in noteworthy details: from the Guelph battlements to the four corner towers, from the clock tower to the courtyard with graffiti decorations. The four-arched loggia and the private chapel for religious ceremonies further enrich the charm of the place. Inside the loggia, there is an ancient well, originally a secret escape passage. A walkway runs along the perimeter of the high walls, offering a breathtaking view of the surrounding valley.^^The property, which extends for approximately 1,200 hectares, includes vineyards, olive groves, a village with an eighteenth-century villa, and 25 farmhouses, all part of the complex for sale. A unique opportunity for those seeking history, elegance, and a productive estate immersed in the Tuscan greenery.,
