REF. SIE137
For sale: Castello C’era una volta, a charming castle over a thousand years old transformed into an aristocratic residence with agriturismo, swimming pool, and restaurant, located just 20 minutes from Siena. Nestled in the Tuscan countryside and overlooking the beautiful Val d’Arbia, this impressive medieval complex is a treasure trove of history and beauty.
Originally featuring four towers, the castle has been renovated into an elegant patrician palace and hunting lodge, maintained by the same aristocratic family for centuries.
Surrounded by a lush garden with cypresses and ornamental plants, the castle offers a panoramic swimming pool overlooking the Tuscan hills. Built on three floors around an inner courtyard, it features architectural elements designed by 16th-century architect Peruzzi. The interiors, characterized by wooden beams, terracotta floors, and stone fireplaces, house 17 flats intended for both agritourism and private residence.
Outdoors, a two-level farmhouse is dedicated to agritourism, with a restaurant on the ground floor and three flats on the upper floor. Additionally, a stone building near the entrance offers further opportunities for conversion.
Castello C’era una volta is the ideal choice for those seeking a historic residence with tourism potential, capable of carrying its legacy into the future.
Situated in the heart of Tuscany, this listing offers a blend of cultural richness and serene landscapes. Just 30 minutes from Siena, you are connected to historical heritage and vibrant local life. Nearby vineyards, luxurious dining, and scenic vistas are abundant. Access to Florence via train is convenient, making it ideal for those seeking tranquility with accessibility to urban hubs.
