Built on the ancient Volterran road, once traveled by Charlemagne and his army on their way to Rome, Montegufoni Castle occupies a unique place in the historical landscsape of Tuscany. Dating back to the 12th century, the original structure was built by the noble Ormanni family (of Divine Comedy fame) and destroyed by the armies of Florence. It was rebuilt in the 13th century by the aristocratic Acciaioli family, and under their care flourished into a glorious medieval Castrum consisting of 7 distinct buildings surrounded by a fortified wall.
The evolution continued in the 17th century when it became a unified castle redesigned with elaborate and graceful Baroque elements. The melding of architectural styles lends the castle a unique look and feel. Throughout its history, Montegufoni served as a meeting place for Florence’s nobility and later as a refuge for artists and writers. It has been visited by great writers like D.H. Lawrence and Somerset Maugham amongst many others. During World War II it housed famous works of art like Botticelli's "La Primavera" and Giotto's "Madonna D'Ognisanti". Upon arrival one is immediately struck by Montegufoni's palpable past and infinite mysteries. Staying there you experience both the delightful sensations of present day Tuscany and gentle echoes of the region’s illustrious past.

Traveling to Tuscany is like a dream come true. Everything you have ever read or seen about this alluring region of Italy cannot begin to compare to actually experiencing the destination first hand. Tuscany is a place for lovers of history, art, beautiful countryside, wonderful cuisine, and fine wine. The landscape here is as varied as the country itself, with rolling green hills and mountains as well as a beautiful coastline and remote islands. Sunflowers abound here in season as do the iconic Cypress evergreen trees. Chianti is the vineyard clad heart of Tuscany — between Florence and Siena — famous for its noble wine, graceful landscape and the incomprable medieval towns and historic castles which dot the countryside. This is a place to come and experience Italy at its best--to drive around leisurely by car, shop the local markets, wander through the villages, and dine on the rustic foods that the area is famous for. Montegufoni castle exemplifies the Tuscan experience and puts you in prime position to fully exploit the magic and wonder of this beautiful land!

"The whole area is beautiful, a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the scenery. A great place to go to for artists. Also plenty to do and see. Italian people are so friendly and helpful. I would recommend Castello Di Montefugoni wholeheartedly and have warm memories of how well we were looked after…"

"We were two middle-age couples that shared a two bedroom-two bath guesthouse and we were delighted with the accomodation and hospitality. The reception people spoke english and were very helpful. It is a great location close to Florence, Siena, and Chianti area. Plenty to see around this location. We had a car and loved the countryside. We would definitely go back when we have the opportunity. Price is reasonable and fair…"

"The castle is beautiful and we loved our time there. It was perfectly clean and a joy to stay in. Lovely being so close to Florence and yet have such lovely views…"

"The castle was a great place to vacation with friends. The rooms were interesting and so different that anything else we could have chosen! Montegufoni is near enough to Florence that it was an easy day trip, and we were so glad to not be staying in the city! The views from the castle are amazing. I would definitely recommend staying here..."
