The Fattoria di Castiglionchio farm is really an old fortified settlement, dating back to the 12th century, halfway up the hill in the small valley of the "Mulino delle Rivolte" stream, 15 km from Florence. It boasts a historic past and many famous owners, "... the house is towered and has several annexes, the ancestral property of the noble family, Ricasoli Zanchini, formerly known as "Da Castiglionchio" of Florence..." the family name of the famous jurist, Lapo da Castiglionchio, originates from this little castle. The tower and the palace, both still standing, still have the two original castle doors. This is the very tower where Messer Lapo lived and where he kept his family's contracts and manuscripts.
There are guest apartments in both the main villa and the renovated farmhouses; they are furnished with typical Tuscan taste and surrounded by the Farm's vineyards. There is a typical restaurant serving Tuscan specialities. Enthusiasm and Tradition are the keynotes of Tuscan cooking and of our Farm. The recipes strike an ideal balance between home cooking and the most famous traditional Tuscan dishes, not to mention the raw materials: the extra-virgin olive oil and Chianti wine produced by us. The atmosphere in the museum-like dining room is quiet and intimate. What is more, in fine weather you can dine out of doors, under the trees.
At the moment there are no offers avalaible.
