A Setting of Pure Tuscan Grandeur

Accessed via an ancient panoramic route—today part of CAI Trail No. 23—the estate is immersed in absolute privacy. Century-old forests, terraced hillsides, stone paths, and the gentle sound of the Cesto stream frame the castle’s secluded position, creating an atmosphere of serenity and timeless elegance.
This is not simply a property: it is a world apart, where the beauty of Tuscany unfolds in every direction

A Thousand-Year Story Engraved in Stone

First recorded in 1084, the Castle has borne witness to the region’s most compelling historical chapters. Originally home to the influential Filii Griffi family—rivals of the powerful Ubertini—the castle became a strategic stronghold of power, faith, and aristocratic rivalry.
Medieval charters, territorial disputes, and ecclesiastical acts paint a vivid portrait of a fortress at the heart of political and spiritual life. At its peak, the castle supported a thriving rural community, complete with noble residence, chapels, defensive circuits, and agricultural lands.
For centuries, the castle guarded the valley from above. Now, it awaits a new custodian to write its next chapter.

Architectural Majesty, Still Visible Today

Despite the passage of time, the Castle retains architectural elements of extraordinary value:
The remains of the medieval keep, standing as a silent sentinel over the valley.
Original limestone walls, crafted with remarkable precision and still proudly outlining the fortress’s form.
A magnificent full-centered arch from the 12th–13th century, once the entrance to refined interior chambers.
A bifora window and carved stone corbels, hints of the noble residence (palatium) that dominated the heart of the complex.
Sections of the circular defensive walls that once embraced the inner stronghold.
These authentic elements make the estate an unparalleled restoration opportunity—an invitation to recreate a luxurious private retreat without sacrificing its medieval soul.
