Sleeping in a Tuscan Castle

Sleeping in a Tuscan Castle

Have you ever dreamed of sleeping in a Tuscan Castle? If you are looking for authenticity, discover the history of Castello di Gargonza and experience a night immerged in another century, as if you were a citizen of this fortified hamlet searching for a shelter to escape from the knights of the Republic of Siena and Florence just like Dante Alighieri in 1304 when escaping from the Florentines then you must come and stay with us!

Castello di Gargonza is a medieval hamlet with a restored 13th century tower, nestled on the hills of Tuscany, between Arezzo and Siena. It has been a medieval fortress with its tower, fought by the Republic of Florence and Siena who wanted to get hold of the village to protect their uncertain boundaries. It has then be the centre of an agricultural farm with a community of farmers for 250 years, owned buy the Corsi family since 1696.

Castello di Gargonza has been brought back to life by Count Roberto Guicciardini Corsi Salviati, starting from the 1970’s with a conservative restoration in order to bring back a community that left the village after the second world war. A community of travellers this time and not of farmers! Today we have restored all the houses of the farmers, which have become splendid rooms, suites and apartments, and the medieval Tower. You will have the chance of staying on the third floor of the tower and have for yourself incredible views from the panoramic terrace.

So if you’re looking for a romantic hotel near Arezzo with a medieval tower to stay in, the Castello di Gargonza will welcome you within its ancient walls that house rooms and suites that retain the imprint of peasant life, carefully preserved through restoration. This is why sleeping in the Gargonza Castle in Tuscany will be even more fascinating.
