Property Description

Castello di Volognano is a magnificent Florence Medieval Castle in the Florentine hills above the Arno river, twenty minutes east of Florence.  The Italy castle near Florence for rent is set on 200 hectares of land and encompasses the whole town of Volognano as well as some of the best vineyards and olive groves in Tuscany! Originally constructed in the 11th century, this six-bedroom castle has been lavishly restored to its original brilliance and offers luxurious accommodations for up to twelve people.  Volognano has been splendidly furnished with beautiful and comfortable Tuscan antiques.  The castle has one of the most unique and stunning swimming pools we have ever seen flowing from the indoor limonaia (lemon house) to the outside Roman gardens.

Castello Volognano, Italy castle near Florence for rent, produces first class red and white wines under its own label, and one of the treats of staying at the castle is its basement cantina where wine tastings are conducted.  Recently the villa produced over 5,000 bottles of delicious Chianti Colli Fiorentini.
