On the Mugello hills, in a highly scenic and private location, 62.2-hectare estate with a medieval castle and accommodation businesses for sale. The property boasts an almost thousand-year history and is in excellent condition, with over 5,300 m² of living space and great development potential for the hospitality activity. 

The heart of the property is formed by the castle (2,587 m² – 27,836 ft²), an imposing stone building perched on the hilltop overlooking the surrounding countryside. The structure dates back to the 11th century and was most likely a fortified tower in its early phase. Over the centuries, the building was expanded and became an important control point of Mugello. In the 13th century, the fortress became part of Florence’s possessions, and a document from 1269 indicates that at that time, the castle consisted of a palazzo with a tower and thirteen houses arranged along the perimeter of the walls. By the end of the 14th century, the military function of the castle began to fade, and the fortress did not take part in significant military events from then on. A mid-17th-century census openly speaks of a villa rather than a castle, signaling the definitive conversion of the building into a countryside residence. The structure passed into the hands of various families and was renovated multiple times, without significantly altering its original appearance. Between 1915 and 1917, the castle was renovated by architect Agenore Socini, who also created the beautiful Italian-style garden (6,600 m²) that covers the south slope of the hill.
