Historical castle of great prestige located in a commanding position on the hills, just 30 minutes from the historical center of Florence. A charming cypress-lined avenue leads to the property of about 2,500 sqm, currently divided into five independent apartments, easily reconfigurable into a single residence or further subdivided, while fully respecting the architectural characteristics and historical constraints.
The mansion stands out for the spaciousness and charm of its rooms: Numerous reception rooms with vaulted ceilings, significant frescoes, columns, stone fireplaces, and decorative elements that reflect Renaissance style. The complex features approximately 100 rooms, including 20 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms, as well as internal courtyards and large panoramic terraces. On the south side, two large loggias open up, one on the ground floor and one on the upper floor, further enhancing the livability of the spaces.
Access from the main gate introduces a scenic private square of over 2,000 sqm, ideal as both parking and for exclusive events, receptions, and weddings. The front park, approximately 2 hectares cultivated with olive trees, dominates the surrounding landscape and offers a suggestive view of the village below and, in the distance, the Florence Cathedral.
The origins of the castle date back to 1134. Over the centuries, it has been inhabited and frequented by notable figures, including Grand Duke Leopold II, and prominent Florentine families such as the Aleotti, the Rimbettini, and the Lappacci. In the early 16th century, the entire complex passed to the Salviati family, a historical lineage linked to Cosimo de’ Medici and a protagonist in the social rise of the era.
The property, unique of its kind, is in excellent condition thanks to accurate and constant restoration works that have preserved its authenticity and value over time. Much of the original furniture is still present, along with valuable collectible ceramics and paintings depicting family dynasties.
An absolutely representative residence, immersed in a setting of great historical charm, suitable for multiple uses: Prestigious private residence, high-level accommodation facility, or exclusive event location.
