Enchanting castle to restore

The estate is located near the Florence-Siena expressway and the old Cassia road to Siena, with stunning views of Monteriggioni, an impressive hilltop castle town.

This historic property from 1100 is a beautiful example of a fortified castle with a church, outbuildings, and agricultural land, which was owned by several important Tuscan families. Originally, it was located on the Francigena pilgrimage route.

In the 12th century, the castle served as a hospice for traveling pilgrims and the needy, and one of the owners, Lady Sapia, was depicted as a character in Dante's Divine Comedy.

This property preserves an absolutely authentic atmosphere and presents an interesting project for buyers looking for a fascinating building near Siena.

The property is ideal for the construction of a boutique hotel.

We're happy to help.

Facilities

Surrounded on all sides by land, including 4 hectares of vineyards and the rest arable land, forests, olive groves, and pastures, this property combines amazing architecture, significant history, and a strategically interesting location.

Many of the original features have been preserved, such as the vaulted ceilings, columns, open loggias on 3 floors, family crests, old brick floors, and the original wine cellar, making it a wonderful restoration opportunity.

The roof has been restored, but the building needs complete renovation.

There are 2 corner towers, a 270 sqm farmhouse, an outbuilding, and a charming barn that is located away from the main castle and can be restored.

The chapel dates back to the 16th century.
