Poppiano Castle, located in the Florentine Chianti hills near Montespertoli, is an imposing medieval building that has endured centuries of history. Originally built as a defensive fortification, it was transformed over time into a stately residence. The Guicciardini family, among the most influential in Florence, had a profound connection to the castle: Francesco Guicciardini, a celebrated Renaissance historian and politician, spent part of his life there and used it as a base for his agricultural and political activities. Today, Poppiano Castle is an example of how history and tradition can coexist with modernity. The property is still owned by the Guicciardini family and continues to produce high-quality wine and olive oil, preserving the region's distinctive agricultural traditions. The castle is also open to visitors, offering guided tours that allow visitors to explore its history, cellars, and surrounding vineyards.

A special place with many hidden corners. There is also no shortage of restaurants.

Inserted among the most beautiful villages in Italy, this hamlet of Greve in Chianti reserves an atmosphere suspended in time, between stone houses and alleys and medieval fortifications.

Palazzo Pretorio, the most representative monument of Certaldo, was the ancient residence of the Alberti counts, built around the end of the 12th century on the ruins of the ancient houses of this family. The prisons, the audience hall, the archive, the chapel and the private quarters of the Vicars can still be visited today. On the facade and inside the palace there are numerous coats of arms, each of which represents the effigy of the family of each Vicar who governed and lived here. In the Palace you can admire frescoes and sinopias from the 15th and 16th centuries. For further information: https://www.comune.certaldo.fi.it/it/page/palazzo-pretorio

This medieval village, once heavily contested between the republics of Florence and Siena, today attracts visitors with its authentic medieval structure, ancient stone houses, part of the castle and largely preserved walls that still have three gates. Despite the uncertainty about its connection to Amerigo Vespucci, who owned a palace in the village, Montefioralle offers a unique atmosphere that transports visitors back in time. It is a place valued for its tranquility and beauty, far from the tourist crowds that flood other parts of Tuscany. The village has only a small number of accommodations, a pub and a wine bar where you can taste the local wines. A walk through the village takes visitors to the small church and offers a glimpse into real Italian village life. The restaurant La Castellana, just before you arrive at the village walls, is particularly recommended for its excellent cuisine and fair prices. The staff is known for their exceptional friendliness, making a visit to Montefioralle an unforgettable experience.
