The construction of this castle is attributed to the famous architect Filippo Brunelleschi and is one of the most beautiful fortified structures in Tuscany.

Situated in the heart of the Florentine hills about 30 km from Florence and 50 from Siena, it was built in 1424 by the noble and prestigious Florentine Pucci family, and has hosted illustrious personalities, popes and kings, who have often chosen it as a location for major events: in the great hall there is still an epigraph recalling the stay of Pope Paul III Farnese in 1541.

The main body consists of a structure of approximately 3,000 square metres, which revolves around a large courtyard of historical charm, overlooking a Renaissance-era garden protected by four towers with Guelph battlements. Inside are numerous frescoed reception rooms and a part dedicated to offices and reception, while the upper floors house the suites. The castle, immersed in the magnificent Tuscan countryside, is surrounded by olive groves and vineyards that allow the modern and efficient agricultural estate to produce extra virgin olive oil and fine wines processed in the historic cellars. In the 1,200 hectares that make up this unique estate, there is a hamlet with 25 farmhouses and a historic Renaissance villa, with an aristocratic chapel and frescoed halls. The buildings on the property are currently in need of renovation, with the exception of one that is used for agritourism and has 10 flats.

The property is located in the Tuscan hills just a few kilometres from the famous Etruscan city of Volterra and the medieval town of San Gimignano, both world-famous and a destination for many tourists.

The area is very quiet and peaceful. The Castle is easily accessible from the airports of Florence (45 km) and Pisa (62 km), Florence 30 km, Volterra 35 km, San Gimignano 20 km, Siena 50 km, Castelfalfi Golf Club 19 km, Terme di Gambassi 10 km
