Here are the reasons why they rewarded us.<\/p>\n\n

Historicity<\/h2>\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\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n

Our apartments<\/h2>\n\n

The self-catering apartments of Gargonza\u2019s castle<\/strong> show the genuine nature of Gargonza\u2019s resident ancestors. <\/p>\n\n

Each house is named after its original inhabitants. Therefore, today we have the farmer\u2019s house, the seamstress Niccolina\u2019s house, the gamekeeper Celso\u2019s house, the Palle house, etc. Although the apartments have been renovated, we have kept the atmosphere rich in history<\/strong> and the original structure.<\/p>\n\n

Catering<\/h2>\n\n

Our cuisine consists of authentic traditional Tuscan<\/strong> dishes made with simple and genuine ingredients personally chosen by chef Gabriele Polonia among those of the season.<\/p>\n\n

The pasta is homemade<\/strong>, the Chianina meat is cooked on the grill, the wines (over 60 labels) are from the region, including Chianti Classico, Colli Senesi, Montalcino, Montepulciano, all stored in the cellar. Furthermore, since 2008 the restaurant has been certified by the Italian Gluten Free Association<\/strong>. We prepare gluten free bread and schiacciate and serve gluten free pasta for our celiac friends.<\/p>\n\n
