Il Castagno is an ancient property which has been completely renovated and is composed of the Mansion house and independent apartments with their own private space to eat outside. We offer two apartments for 8 persons with their own gardens. The Estate is situated on a hilltop and dominates all the nearby valleys with views that extend as far as the eye can see. The surrounding countryside has several acres of forest with oak-trees and cypresses interrupted by wheat fields, vineyards and olive groves.
Guests have a beautiful swimming pool at their disposal, situated in a sunny and panoramic position. There is a restaurant within walking distance and it is in easy reach of Volterra, Florence, Siena and Sam Gimignano.
