Luxury Villas

Location

The luxurious villa is located in Valdichiana, in the countryside south-east of Siena.

In the 7th century BC the area of the villa was inhabited by the Etruscans. A part of the park that surrounds the building is indeed decorated with authentic Etruscan cinerary urns.
In the 13th century in the area was built a castle that, after a long struggle with Siena, passed under the control of the Republic of Orvieto. After having been conquered by Perugia, in the 15th century the castle passed again under the rule of Siena. Annexed to the Grand Duchy of Tuscany in the second half of the 16th century, the castle was transformed into the present villa.
