We are proud to share with you our silver win<\/strong> at the \u201cHistorical Castle Award 2022\u201d. A very important recognition that saw us awarded among the most important castles in Europe.<\/p>\n\n Here are the reasons why they rewarded us.<\/p>\n\n Our story<\/strong> is our main strength, to tell our story, we have to start from very far away.<\/p>\n\n From 1300 Gargonza\u2019s castle was a fortified village in the hands of the \u201cGhibellines\u201d, then at the end of 1700 it became a farm. The first news of Gargonza<\/strong> as a fortified village in the Val di Chiana dates back to 1150: a quote that mentioned a fortified castle along the road from Arezzo to Siena: which is the same castle where Dante Alighieri spent his exile.<\/p>\n\nHistoricity<\/h2>\n\n
