Beautiful castle dating back to the year 1000 and restored in 1600 by a noble family, with a magnificent tower built in the same architectural style as that of Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. The castle has recently been transformed into a cozy tourist residence run by the present owner. The castle is located in the municipal jurisdiction of Montespertoli in a vast farm estate with vineyards and olive groves. Peaceful and panoramic position. A beautiful terraced garden which is very well kept and equipped surrounds the castle and is where you will find the swimming pool (7x14) (1/4-30/10). The terracings are adorned with original Italian gardens from the 18th century. The castle is 1 km from the hamlet of Montagnana (food shop), 20 km from Florence, 65 km from Pisa (airport).
