DESCRIPTION OF THE CASTLE The original core of the castle (613 sqm – 6,596 sqft) dates back to the 16th century, but the building we can see today is the result of many enlargements and modifications which took place over the centuries. The ground floor is made up of small service rooms (modified at the beginning of the 20th century to accommodate a farm). Right at the center of this floor there are the two staircases leading to the first floor: the first one linear (with vaulted ceiling) and a secondary well. From the entrance hall, one can go both right and left, into two sections (not linked between them). Here there are the kitchen (with fireplace) and a small bathroom. The first floor (piano nobile) has a better-planned layout, revolving around a central corridor. The north-eastern section hosts the reception hall (as large as the building) decorated with luxury finishes (ceiling coffers and molded bracket). Another room opens from the south-eastern side with a balcony. Here we could find in the past a decorated fireplace with pietra serena elements and a multicolored hexagonal-tile floor. On the south-western side, the first floor opens on a crenelated terrace. Finally, another staircase well reaches the terrace on the rooftop.
Not far from the castle is located a building (75 sqm – 807 sqft) for which a project has been approved to enlarge (up to 140 sqm in total) and convert it into a nice villa.
Right in front of the entrance one can find a 20 sqm apron which could easily host two vehicles.
