Italy, Southern Tuscany, medieval castle
Castle nestled in the marvelous landscape scenery of Southern Tuscany, with the original structure of the early Middle Ages.

The court, with a central well made of trachyte, presents beside a porch, on which there is the elegant glass window illuminating the hall with columns and arches in front of the lounge of hearings.
On the ground floor the Castle includes 14 funds, 12 of which open onto the courtyard. Among them are included: an ancient oil mill, which still has its gigantic wooden press and its huge millstone, currently used, as well as for leisure guests, as the game of chess, or reading, to serve appetizers and entrees at weddings, conferences, concerts and gala dinners; the stable; a game room; two bathrooms; one for ladies and one for gentlemen, with anteroom; a large closet adjacent to the bathrooms.
