What rooms were there in a medieval castle besides the bedroom? In castles where nobles once lived, the main rooms used for dining and sleeping by the lord, his family, and his knights were located in the keep, the rectangular tower within the castle walls. The keep (sometimes also called the donjon) is the strongest and tallest tower of the castle, built to be the most secure and safe place.

Compared to early castles, later ones began to incorporate round towers because rectangular ones could be attacked at the corners, which were the weakest parts.
Most castles are situated on a hill, why? The choice of location has always been strategic: this way, potential enemies would have to attack uphill, and the castle occupants could see them coming in advance.

How castle walls were constructed

Castle walls were very thick, sometimes up to five or six meters. The projecting rounded parts were called bastions. Archers defending the castle could shoot arrows from these against enemies attacking the walls. Arrows could also be launched through narrow openings in the walls called “murder holes.” Castle battlements were often designed so defenders could take cover behind them while striking the attacking army.

Enemies, to counter the defense, typically used enormous catapults or battering rams, or a kind of giant crossbow called an arbalest. They would ascend special ladders that could be launched and hooked onto walls, holding shields above their heads while defenders dropped rocks or poured boiling oil on them. A mixture of boiling oatmeal was also used, acting like a deadly porridge that stuck to the attacking soldiers.
Most castles had a moat or a water-filled ditch around the walls to make it more difficult for attackers to pass. Sometimes, attackers dug tunnels under the moat and walls, causing parts of the walls to collapse into the water.

Another way to enter a castle was by using a “siege tower“.

Castle Siege Towers

What was a siege tower? It was a tall wooden tower on wheels that could be moved close to the walls. Attackers on top of the tower would reach the castle walls using their own wooden bridge.
Sometimes, the attacking army simply surrounded the castle and waited for those inside to run out of food and surrender. However, since all castles kept a ready supply of food, these sieges could last up to two years.
The outer wall of a castle was called the Bailey. Inside the Bailey were buildings where livestock, horses, and the lord’s servants lived.

The Keep

In medieval castles, much of the lord’s and his followers’ life took place in the Keep. The keep represents a fortified tower that, in addition to its defensive role, also served as a residence for the nobility and garrisons during the Middle Ages. Sometimes, it had both a curtain wall and its own moat, accessible through a specially designed entrance not directly connected to the outside.
Inside the castle, there were also rooms for food storage. These rooms had to be stocked with food to last in case of a siege. Usually, there was a well so that people in the castle could obtain fresh water. There were kitchens for preparing daily meals and pantries where food for daily use was stored. There were also the Great Hall and bedrooms. The Keep could be as tall as 70 meters, with a watchtower where sentinels kept an eye out for any attacks, and the lord’s banner fluttered from the top.

What Were the Castle Rooms Like?

The Great Hall

The most important room in a castle was the Great Hall. This is where all members of the family sat down to eat at tables set for each meal. It was the venue for special events or when there were guests. King Arthur’s Pentecost feast took place in such a hall.
In this hall, the lord conducted almost all castle affairs, giving orders on managing his estate, listening to reports from his judicial officer or reeve (men who managed his land affairs for him), and hearing complaints from each of them.

A fire was lit in the center of the hall, and the smoke could escape through a hole in the roof. Even with the fire, the large stone room was very cold in winter, and the inhabitants or guests always wore thick woolen clothes and furs to stay warm. The floor was often covered with rushes and straw (changed when very dirty). There wasn’t much light because windows had to be small and high in case of an attack, and instead of glass, they had oiled cloth or parchment. Most people in the Middle Ages went to bed when it got dark and woke up when it was light in the morning.
Candles were too expensive (especially beeswax ones) even for the lords of many castles. They used tallow candles (made with sheep or goat fat), flickering torches, or lamps burning fish oil to illuminate their Great Halls.

For decoration, the beams of the hall were often painted with patterns. Zodiac signs were among the favorites. Tapestries were hung on the walls (also making the environment somewhat warmer). There were wooden tables and benches, with cushions or embroidered tablecloths. There were also large carved wooden chests with elaborate locks that contained important documents, linens, or precious items to keep them away from thieves and mice.

The Bedroom

Rats were a problem for clothes, and in the bedroom, there was a pole for hanging clothes at night so that rats wouldn’t nibble on them. People didn’t wear anything to bed except maybe a nightcap (nightshirts weren’t worn until the 14th century), and they slept semi-upright.

The Kitchen

Food was roasted or boiled in cauldrons over the fire of a hearth made of large stone blocks. Dishwashing was done in a basin on the nearby stone floor.

A wealthy knight, his family, and guests ate well. Unlike most people, they had plenty of meat: deer, goose, rabbit, and hare. On Fridays and holidays, when meat was forbidden by the church, they ate fish or eels. If there was a special feast, kitchen staff were busy preparing wild boar, roasted swan, or even roasted peacock served with all its feathers as decoration. Other birds appreciated in the Middle Ages were doves, larks, thrushes, and finches. Some of these were caught by the lord and his friends while hunting with their falcons.

Sanitary Facilities

Where did people go to the bathroom when living in a castle? Many castles had stone toilets built over holes in the outer walls. These emptied into a pit much lower down. The Teutonic Knights (warrior monks from Central Europe) living in Malbork Castle in Poland were known to kill their enemies by inviting them to be guests at the castle and then throwing them into the toilet.

Medieval castles didn’t have bathrooms with running water, yet people enjoyed bathing. In some castles, next to the kitchen, there was a room where women bathed together.

Christmas lunch in Italy, like around the world, is sacred and features some indispensable dishes. Rich appetizers, classic tortellini in broth (or other types of filled pasta depending on the region), meat or fish dishes, pandoro and panettone according to preferences, dried fruits, and citrus.

But each region has its own, let’s see in general what is eaten at Christmas in Tuscany.

Christmas Lunch in Tuscany

A classic Christmas lunch in Tuscany will have chicken liver crostini as an appetizer. Throughout Tuscany, each family prepares its own version, and they are straightforward to make: chicken livers are sautéed in a pan with a sofrito of onion, celery, and carrot, then deglazed with white wine. They are then cut with a knife and returned to the pan, adjusting with salt and pepper but without overdoing it: the savoriness of the dish comes from chopped anchovies and capers. Tuscan bread (without salt) and perhaps slightly stale, slightly moistened and baked in the oven to make it crispy.

All that’s left is to spread the chicken livers and serve your crostini on a serving dish: they won’t last long.
But it’s not a Christmas appetizer if it’s not rich!
Therefore, a traditional Tuscan appetizer should contain mixed cold cuts, pecorino cheese, and olives. A vegetarian (or vegan) alternative is Cecina (chickpea tart) to be served warm.

Traditional main courses

For main courses, there are different schools of thought.
We cannot ignore cappelletti in broth: you can buy them, but we recommend making the broth at home; it has a completely different flavor. The broth for cappelletti is made with capon boiled the day before in cold water with onion, carrot, and celery. The capon can be eaten boiled (delicious), and the broth obtained should be used the next day to cook the cappelletti.

Another traditional first course for Christmas lunch is fresh egg pasta with a filling of spinach and ricotta or the more classic potato filling (typical of Mugello). The sauce should be rich: a simple meat ragù will be fine, but to add prestige to their tables, Tuscans love to use game meat. For those who enjoy game, you can prepare a wild boar or hare sauce. For a vegetarian version, just toss your ravioli or tortelli with butter and sage leaves.

What’s Eaten as a Main Course at Christmas Lunch in Tuscany

Main course: pork loin roast Arista is the Tuscan name for roasted pork loin, very common in Sunday lunches, especially in Florence. Tuscan Arista is very easy to prepare and is seasoned with garlic, fresh rosemary, sage, salt, and extra virgin olive oil.

Traditional Tuscan Christmas Sweets

We conclude the meal with a traditional Tuscan Christmas dessert with a recipe that is a thousand years old: Panforte + some special Christmas biscuits like “cavallucci” and “ricciarelli” accompanied by Vin Santo. Certainly, cantucci will not be missing, but those are never absent.

Panforte is a dense, honeyed sweet of medieval origin. Initially prepared by monks in monasteries and symbolically given on special occasions, it later passed into the hands of apothecaries: sugar, almonds, candied fruit, and spices were precious ingredients like gold, and like gold, they were stored by these figures halfway between an alchemist and a pharmacist, in large glass jars on dark wooden shelves.

Spices are what make it unique, a Tuscan peppery bread. Its pungent and honeyed aroma is, for me, the true scent of Christmas, along with that of almonds and orange peels from ricciarelli.

Cavallucci are one of the most famous Christmas delicacies in Tuscany, dating back to the Renaissance when the church council gave panforte and cavallucci to its members. Originally from Siena, these old-fashioned biscuits have a soft texture and are made with type 00 flour, nuts, candied fruit, anise seeds, and spices.
No one knows the exact origin of their name (which comes from horse). Some believe it comes from their shape, with a central groove resembling a horse’s hoof, or perhaps because a small horse was once stamped on them. Others emphasize how they were often consumed by roadhouse workers, where travelers stopped to rest and change horses.
Originally simpler, with no nuts or candied fruit, only flour, honey, sugar, and anise seeds, they have enriched over the centuries to satisfy the increasingly demanding tastes of the bourgeoisie.

Midway between a small shortcrust pastry and an almond biscuit, ricciarelli are characterized by a dusting of powdered sugar, a soft interior that melts in the mouth, and a strong aroma of bitter almonds. The origin of Sienese ricciarelli dates back to the 15th century: almond paste – in the form of marzipan or Marzapanetti – was once highly appreciated in the city, and Siena was famous even beyond its territory for its production. Almond paste biscuits were reserved for sumptuous Lord’s banquets because they consisted of precious ingredients, mainly almonds and sugar. They were so valuable and refined that marzipan sweets were sold in apothecary shops alongside the medicines and spices of the time.

Today, along with panforte, ricciarelli are perhaps one of the most characteristic Sienese sweets. During the Christmas season, you can find them in all pastry shops and bakeries in Siena. Despite being a traditional recipe, they are also a modern-flavored dessert since they are naturally gluten and lactose-free, making them a Christmas biscuit that satisfies everyone’s needs.

How Christmas was Celebrated in the Middle Ages

While the medieval European calendar had numerous holidays, Christmas was the highlight with twelve days of festivities. From peasants to the affluent classes, the Christmas season was dedicated to a long break.

How Nobles Celebrated Christmas in the Middle Ages

The exchange of gifts for the wealthy people at Christmas included precious jewels and garments, taking place on both December 25th and January 1st. However, food was often considered the best part of the celebrations. Medieval castles were adorned for the festivities, decorating one of the most spectacular rooms with festive greenery like ivy and holly. The meal was usually an elaborate lunch with multiple courses, perhaps featuring extravagant dishes prepared by the chefs to impress on the occasion. For example, boar’s head on a plate or roasted swan or peacock with feathers.

How Peasants Celebrated Christmas

Christmas was celebrated in all social classes. However, many could not afford the luxury of a grand feast and expensive gifts.
Free workers on estates received gifts from their lord. This tradition spread over the centuries, leading to servants receiving a box of gifts on December 26th (hence the name “St. Stephen’s Day”). Children received simple toys from their parents, such as dolls and marbles.
Even peasants could decorate their homes as greenery like holly was readily available. The tradition of burning the Yule log also continued into medieval times. This involved burning a large section of the tree trunk on Christmas Eve, continuing to burn for the twelve days of Christmas.

Families indulged in foods they wouldn’t typically buy, such as cheese and boiled meat. They also drank beer, typically produced by peasant women.
January 1st was still considered an important day, even though no gifts were exchanged. Instead, a superstition emerged that it was important for good luck in the new year for someone to be the first visitor to a person’s house on New Year’s Day (First step).

Entertainment during Christmas

Of course, drinking was an important part of the Christmas festivities, and there are accounts of Lords worried about riots during the holiday season. Games were also popular, including board games like chess, still played today.

Christmas meals were generally followed by festive songs, dances, music, and sports. Popular musical instruments included flutes, lutes, and drums. The medieval version of football involved moving the ball to a predetermined position and had very few rules. People even tied horse shinbones to their feet to attempt skating on frozen lakes during winter.

To spend your Christmas and New Year 2023 like in a fairy tale from another era, come to Castello di Gargonza!
Special menus for both holidays are planned in a magical and unique atmosphere that only a medieval castle can provide.

The autumn and winter season in Tuscany is a celebration of colors and events dedicated to experiencing its cities and incredible landscapes to the fullest. Take advantage of mild days and weekends to explore small typical villages and towns.

Even better if you move close to events, fairs, and festivals.

Arezzo, the City of Christmas

A must for all Christmas enthusiasts is the event organized by the city of Arezzo every year: a grand fair full of artisan creations and stalls offering tempting dishes.

This year it will take place from November 18th, 2023, to January 1st, 2024.
What not to miss? The magical historic center of Arezzo, where you’ll find the “Prato delle Meraviglie” with a panoramic wheel to enjoy the view of the entire city from above, and traditional markets. Unmissable are the light installations, Christmas Brick Art, and the Tyrolean Village.

The little ones won’t be disappointed with Santa’s House, where themed workshops will be organized.

Let’s not forget about Arezzo Christmas Brick Art! What is it? A wonder that will please both young and old: the large LEGO Christmas Village, open to visitors from November 18 to December 26. Here, you will find over 400 square meters of exhibitions, shows, and workshops entirely focused on the world’s most famous building blocks, with themed areas and special initiatives.

This article is dedicated to all those for whom that moment has arrived! However, not all experiences are suitable for a romantic getaway in Tuscany.

So we will give you all the useful info to organize a romantic weekend in Tuscany, the region that offers everything you need to spend a few truly magical days.

Choose the destination: where to go for a romantic weekend in Tuscany?

The first thing to do is to choose your destination.

Tuscany is a very diverse region so it depends on what you love to do and what you would like to see. The art cities, the countryside and the small medieval villages are definitely some of the main attractions so ideally you should choose a destination that gives you the possibility to reach these places relatively easily and quickly.

Among the art cities to visit are definitely Siena and Arezzo. On the other hand, we do not recommend Florence, not because it is not worth it but because it would deserve a separate trip because it is impossible to see everything in one romantic weekend in Tuscany.

Instead, the most beautiful medieval villages can be found in the areas of Val d’Orcia, Val di Chiana and Chianti, which are also hilly landscapes worth visiting.

Organize couple activities

Since it’s a romantic weekend in Tuscany, don’t forget to plan activities to do as a couple.

Here are some ideas for an unforgettable romantic getaway in Tuscany.

• Natural spas. Being pampered by the gentle streams of warm waterfalls is one of the most romantic and relaxing activities you can choose. There are numerous spas in Tuscany where you can enjoy a wonderful and relaxing day.
• Winery tastings. On the other hand, if you both love wine and good food, a guided tasting in one of the wineries in Chianti, Val di Chiana or Val d’Orcia is definitely a great way to spend the day. In fact, Tuscany is one of the most famous lands in the world for its wine tradition.
• Forest therapy. Are you an active couple who love being outdoors? Then a walk in the woods is what will make your romantic weekend in Tuscany really special. It will be literally regenerating to immerse yourself completely in nature.

The accommodation: choose a romantic location

Finally comes the time to choose the perfect accommodation for a romantic getaway in Tuscany. It will have to be a location equipped with every comfort to allow you to spend your time in a pleasant way when you return after a day out.

Ideally, it should be a place with a romantic atmosphere, perhaps equipped with a nice pool and a restaurant where you can treat yourself to a candlelight dinner. The rooms should be furnished with attention to detail and in a comfortable way.

But the most important thing is the context in which the facility is located. Being on a busy street or in a suburban apartment building would have nothing romantic about it, right? Better a place out of the confusion, perhaps in the hills but still close to points of interest.

Gargonza’s packages for a romantic weekend in Tuscany

Gargonza Castle is the perfect place to spend a romantic weekend in Tuscany.

It is located on a hill between Val di Chiana, Val d’Orcia and Chianti, halfway between Siena and Arezzo. This will allow you to reach some of the most picturesque points of interest in Tuscany.
