40 bedrooms castle, 4500 m² Greve in Chianti, Florence (province) Chianti
Chianti
Description
The castle is located in the heart of Tuscany, between Florence and Arezzo, in a valley of the Chianti
It is an ancient fortified rural village dating back to the 12th century with several buildings that have been structurally restored the rough (finished structures and roofs).
The buildings have a gross area of around 4,500 m2 (that is, with the walls). Despite this work, the buildings remain unique because they were built directly on the rock, which gives them a royal harmony. It is located on a very panoramic hill, extremely picturesque area, quiet and quiet, very private. It is no coincidence that the singer and artist Sting has chosen this landscape as an Italian residence.
Access is via a gravel road. Arriving from the bottom, there is a first group of limestone buildings mixed with sandstone and brick which, for the type of wall cladding and the plant, can not be dated back to the Middle Ages, but perhaps at the modern time. The same is true for the second group of buildings, which appear to be more consistent and show both recent additions and renovations and traces of medieval building interventions, especially through the use of limestone stones arranged in regular parallel rows.
As in most Tuscan castles and villages, the fortified core of the estate was built directly on the rock, which appears to be alternated with the masonry in most buildings. Certainly, the complex consisted of a whole series of rooms, which were later integrated by other structures used both for residential and agricultural purposes, so that the original layout is difficult to distinguish. On the south-east facade of one of the groups of buildings opens a semicircular arch, surrounded by a finely worked masonry that, by type and architectural features, can be dated between the end of the 12th century and the first half of the 13th century.
