An ancient late medieval manor house that long belonged to the Guidi Counts. Mentioned and documented as early as the 11th century. It then passed to other owners, such as the Abbey of San Fedele, which later ceded it to the Cerchi family. From them, following internal struggles for control of Florence, the property passed to the Albizzi family, their allies, who in the 13th/14th centuries transformed and enriched it into a splendid fortified country residence, a gathering place for many artists and writers. In the second half of the 19th century, following the death of the bachelor Vittorio Albizzi, the property passed to his sister Leonia, wife of the Marquis Angelo Frescobaldi. Their family still owns it today. The current appearance of the ancient manor house is different from its original structure, as, following the explosion of German mines, the imposing main tower that overlooked the keep collapsed, destroying a large part of the Castle Church, dedicated to San Niccolò, which was located beneath the walls. The church was later renovated; but the tower was never rebuilt.

A small, now uninhabited Alpine settlement, it features a farm-style refreshment point (Bottega di Monticiano). A short distance away is the small Tamburino Lake, the source of the Uscioli River. The main building is the large farmhouse (abandoned and dilapidated) built in 1881 by Count Giovanbattista Asini (descendant of his ancestor, Giovanni Battista Asini, a jurist and professor, who lived in the second half of the 16th century), as evidenced by the stone memorial plaque, complete with coat of arms, embedded in the wall.
