Wonderful historic castle with swimming pool and vineyards for sale about 10 minutes from the historic center of Siena, with panoramic views over the city. The property of about 3,000sqm, with 9 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms, has been the scene of frequent battles since the 12th century and is today an accommodation facility and an important reality in the production of wines.

An avenue of cypresses leads to the castle surrounded by a majestic park and splendid vineyards. In the 12th century, the property was an outpost of the Sienese militias who were supposed to guarantee the defense of the city of Siena. Inside, the rooms have been restored maintaining the typical characteristics of period residences, without sacrificing comfort and elegance. A suite and two apartments have been created in the restored old farmhouses. Furthermore, in the structure, there are large common areas, reception rooms for events, a restaurant with a panoramic terrace and a view of the city of Siena and the cellar. The property is characterized by typical vaulted and beamed ceilings, ancient terracotta floors, stone walls and bathrooms with elegant marble details.

The historic estate develops around the nucleus of buildings for an area of about 44 hectares with vineyards, olive groves, woods and arable land. Large green spaces, a splendid swimming pool immersed in the olive grove, from which you can enjoy the splendid scenery of the Crete Senesi and Monte Amiata.
The vines owned include Sangiovese, Ciliegiolo and Colorino, cultivated according to the most modern technologies. Furthermore, in support of the Senarum Vinea project for the recognition and enhancement of the native wine heritage, the company is the custodian of seven varieties of vines, including five reds, Mammolo, Gorgottesco, Canina, Prugnolo Gentile and Giacchè and two whites, San Colombano and Procanic. The vineyards are located on soils that, thanks to the presence of clay, are able to maintain the necessary humidity to guarantee constant quality in the production of wine, allowing the plants to survive even in the arid and hot summers.

An excellent solution for those who want to continue the activity linked to the production of wine and hospitality. Alternatively, the historic estate can become a high-level private residence, surrounded by large private land.
