Description

In the center of Tuscany, between Florence and Siena, Castel Pietraio with its medieval village stands out in the green frame of the Sienese Hills, a few kilometers from San Gimignano and other enchanting cities of art.

Its origins date back to the 10th century, when Ildebrando Lambardi married Countess Ava Zenovi (whose sarcophagus is still visible in Abbadia a Isola abbey) thus forming one of the most important families of the Valdelsa. The most ancient part of Castel Pietraio dates back to this period, the tower with Guelph battlements, while the remaining construction with the internal cloister dates back to the 14th century. The church dedicated to the Saints Peter and Paul dates back to 1700 as well as the buildings of the small village.

The centuries of history of the Castel Pietraio walls give deep sensations, made of ancient and charming atmospheres. In the eighteenth-century building of the village there are the cozy rooms where there are wooden beams, terracotta floors, stone walls and bathrooms in Carrara marble, as well as precious fabrics and stylish furniture. Amenities include air conditioning, a minibar, flat-screen TVs and a safe.

In the oldest part of the castle are the apartments that take their name from the architectural details that distinguish them: of different spaces and sizes, but always have in common the great charm of the historical residence.

The happy position and the great territorial tradition linked to viniculture make Castel Pietraio a company with a strong vocation for the production of quality labels. The 153 hectares of the farm, divided among vineyards, olive trees, wheat and sunflowers are flanked by the old cellars equipped with the most modern equipment, contributing to obtaining wines with an excellent profile. In addition to evocative tastings and healthy ecological walks in the farm's woods, guests can relax in the village's swimming pool, read a good book under the shade of an ancient oak tree or set off to explore the nearby cities of art.
