CASTELLO DEI CONTI

The Castle has been the residence of many illustrious Florentine families throughout the centuries, such as the Scolari, the family of the famous general Pippo Spano, and the Pitti, before becoming the property of the Medici family. Since the second half of the 1800s it was purchased by Counts Pandolfini who still own the villa.

The Castle is located just12 km away from Florence, in the heart of the Chianti Classico area.

Surrounded by na enchanting panorama of olive trees and vineyards, it is the ideal place to indulge in a relaxing stay, enjoying tranquility and serenity, embraced by the beautiful hills of Chianti. This is also the perfect location for organizing private events, weddings and enjoying the best days of your life.

The historical residence is made up of a large complex, consisting of the villa, the tower, the romantic park, the French garden, the outside pool surrounded by olive groves, a sunbathing and barbecue area. The breathtaking panoramic terrace overlooks the rolling hills of Chianti and the Dome of Florence Cathedral.

The nearby Via Chiantigiana offers a perfect route for reaching the most famous places in Chianti such as Greve and Panzano or nearby Siena. From Panzano onwards the road follows the crests of the hills, offering a succession of unique panoramic views. Visitors are simply spoilt for choice as to where to stop to take photos to recall an unforgettable holiday.

Florence is just 20 minutes’ drive away, but it is also possible to use the public transport available just a few kilometres from the property which will save you the trouble of looking for a parking place in the city.

For golf lovers, the superb course of the Ugolino golf club is very close.
