Castle for Sale in Castelfiorentino, Tuscany
Set in the countryside of Castelfiorentino, in the Province of Florence, this castle estate dates back to 1210 and combines historic character with carefully updated accommodation. The property includes the original square brick watchtower, defensive walls, a consecrated chapel dedicated to Saint Bartholomew, a villa arranged over two levels, a farmhouse complex, and approximately 117 hectares of land.
The setting brings together heritage, scale and rural privacy, with a panoramic garden, swimming pool, vineyard, olive grove and far-reaching views across the surrounding hills towards San Gimignano. With its renovated interiors, guest accommodation and extensive agricultural land, it will appeal to buyers seeking a distinctive country estate with space for family living, entertaining and ceremonies.
Property Summary
This property reflects a long history that began in the early thirteenth century, when Count Alberti of Certaldo ordered the construction of Caput Aulae as the centre of his court. Remnants of the original fortified castle remain in the square brick watchtower and defensive walls beside the villa, while the consecrated chapel adds further period interest and is currently used for weddings and private ceremonies.
A major renovation in 2000 introduced modern systems, including air conditioning in all rooms, while preserving the character of the estate. The interiors are described as very bright, with terracotta floors, wooden beamed ceilings and a marble staircase linking the two levels of the building.
Accommodation Across the Villa and Farmhouse ComplexVilla
The main villa is arranged over two levels and offers a series of practical and elegant living spaces.
The farmhouse complex provides additional independent accommodation, including apartment layouts with private living areas and kitchens.
The estate opens onto a large panoramic garden with views over vineyards, rolling hills and the skyline of San Gimignano. In front of the lemon house, a dedicated lounge area offers a quiet place to sit, while a staircase leads down to the swimming pool, which is surrounded by a large lawn.
The land sold with the property extends to approximately 117 hectares and includes a range of productive and natural areas.
Located in Castelfiorentino in the Province of Florence, the estate sits within the Tuscan countryside and benefits from long views across vineyards and rolling hills. The historic setting, together with the scale of the land and the presence of agricultural areas, makes this a particularly distinctive country property in the region.
Lifestyle and Buyer Appeal
This estate will suit buyers looking for a historic Tuscan property with generous accommodation, guest apartments and extensive grounds. It is also well aligned with those who value space for private entertaining, ceremonial use, agricultural activity or a multi-building country residence.
