In the heart of Chianti region this 13th Century Medieval Castle, sorrounded by olive trees, is the perfect set for a fairy-tale wedding reception.
The access to the castle is a beautiful driveway between 2 raws of cypresses that look like Medieval knights. At night it is particularly suggestive thanks to the candles on the sides of the path.
Earliest records of this castle date back to the first half of the 13th century. This fortress suffered various attacks down the centuries, without ever succumbing. In 1320 the castle was expanded and was larger than its current size. At the end of the 17th century it was sold to the Miniati barons, who turned it into a villa graced with works of art. Many portraits of Florentine nobles, pictures with hunting or battles scenes or Terracotta from the school of Della Robbia were brought to the Castle to adorn the splendid, great halls. The gothic chapel is fully decorated and in its centre there is a plaster cast picturing a Madonna with Child is also on display.
For the wedding reception you have different options: from the stunning inner courtyard with its magic atmosphere especially at evening time, to the many halls inside the castle like the salle d'armes, the Loggia Hall or the Imperial table Hall.
