Perched more than 800 meters above sea level, where the air becomes clear and the gaze embraces the entire Reno Valley, stands the Castle of Granaglione, an ancient fortress that has dominated the woods and villages of the High Apennines for more than a thousand years.
Its origins are lost in time: from a Roman and Longobard garrison to a fief of Matilda of Canossa, the castle was long disputed between Bologna and Pistoia, destroyed and rebuilt several times, until it became the beating heart of this border territory.
Even today, among its stone walls and crenellated tower, one can perceive the intact charm of an authentic medieval residence, guardian of a thousand-year history made up of battles, alliances and rebirths.
Perfectly integrated into the surrounding landscape, the manor dominates a spectacular panorama of chestnut forests, streams and ancient paths leading to stone hamlets and Romanesque parish churches.
The silence of the mountains and the natural harmony that surrounds it make it today an ideal place for those seeking a representative residence, a soulful retreat or a charming structure capable of offering unique experiences.
Witness to centuries of history and culture, the Castle of Granaglione combines the charm of the past with the possibility of a new future: an exclusive property, where time seems to stand still.
The property is developed on three main levels, with large outdoor appurtenances and about 10 hectares of land between forest, chestnut grove and pasture, perfectly integrated into the natural landscape that surrounds it.
On the ground floor there is a large windowed garage, a covered woodshed, a basement cellar and a service room with direct access to the fenced garden of about 4.000 sq. m., where a raw pool for a swimming pool is arranged.
The second floor accommodates a spacious entrance hall, a large reception hall, a living room with fireplace, an eat-in kitchen, a bathroom/utility laundry room, a balcony and a panoramic solar slab.
The second floor houses six bedrooms and two windowed bathrooms, ideal for residential use or widespread hospitality.
Completing the property is a walkable attic equipped with 51 photovoltaic panels and an Eolo Wi-Fi antenna.
Nestled in the unspoiled greenery of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, just minutes from the thermal baths of Porretta and about 70 km from Bologna, 50 km from Pistoia and 90 km from Florence, Castello di Granaglione stands in a panoramic and sunny position, offering a rare balance of history, nature and quiet.
A historic home of rare authenticity, perfect as a private residence, charming relais or fine accommodation, in the heart of the Apennines, where history and nature meet in a timeless balance.
