We have all the advantages of the peace and beauty of the Tuscan countryside at just a few minutes drive from the historic centre of Siena with all its attractions: restaurants and bars, fascinating medieval and Renaissance squares and streets, monuments, museums and wonderful events such as the famous Palio of Siena.
The castle is just outside Siena and despite its air of timeless tranquillity very close to main roads linking us all major Tuscan cities and offering easy access to all popular Italian destinations.As well all the attractions of Siena itself you can easily visit other famous art cities like Florence, Arezzo, Perugia or even follow the footsteps of St Francis in the ancient town of Assisi or still more easily explore any of the delightful medieval Tuscan hill towns nearby. You can even relax at one of the Thermal spa resorts only 15 km. or so away.
We are present on site as the main part of the castle is still a family home and we are always ready to assist our guests during their stay to help them get the most out of their vacation in this fascinating area of Italy.
