What better way to experience the Tuscan countryside than by staying in a historic castle? This home – the castle and its adjacent farmhouse – is set on a secluded estate surrounded by olive groves, lavender fields, and 40 acres of ancient woodlands. The best part? Despite this tranquil setting, it’s only a twenty-minute drive from Siena and an hour from Florence. Medieval charm meets modern comfort here, where you can sleep in a tower room, play pool in the grand salon, and celebrate special occasions in the high-ceilinged dining room. Outside, you’ll find a fan-shaped swimming pool, a bocce court, and table tennis. There’s also a beautiful outdoor dining area with a leafy pergola – you’ll never want to leave.
