This is an architectural site formed by a romanic church (mentioned since 1203 in the "lodo di Poggibonsi", which defined the territories of the Republics of Siena and Florence), a sixteen century chapel, a presbytery and a detached rural building. The overall u-shaped site embraces a large piazza of 1.100 square metres. The property includes: A large private residence on two levels Nine large double rooms and eight suites, all with private bathroom, a.c. and all modern comforts An apartment for living-in housekeepers A romanic church A 16th century frescoed chapel Medieval cellars Professional kitchen and all the storage and warehouse facilities to serve the hotel A large underground garage (9 parking places) Turkish bath Pool bathrooms and indoor storage room for pool and garden furniture A big terrace overlooking garden and pool (280 square metres) A historic terraced vegetables and flower garden, surrounded by stone walls
The church and the underground cellars offer the possibility to hold different workshops, meetings and study sessions simultaneously. The frescoed chapel is the perfect setting for breakfasts, coffee-breaks, buffets and evening dinners. The large piazza, terraces, gardens, swimming pool and woods, all surrounded by the magic of Chianti countryside, offer idyllic outdoor space for concerts, group work or moments of individual introspection and meditation. The castle has always been a spiritual centre. It is a place with a soul. In every corner one can feel the atmosphere, history and spiritual energy built up over the centuries. The position in the Chianti hills near Siena and Florence, in the heart of the Renaissance, makes it the ideal place for this initiative (8 km from Radda and Castellina, 12 km from Siena, 45 km from Florence). The property lies on 3.5 ha of land. It has two private entrances, main and secondary. The buildings cover 2.700 mq and total 9.000 cubic metres in volume. The main entrance is adorned with century old cypress trees.
