Castello di Mugnana

The castle extends across 3 hectares of land in the Chianti hills, featuring a stone tower, thick defensive walls, and a central courtyard with octagonal pillars.

Initially constructed before the 14th century, the castle belonged to the Amidei family before passing to the Bardi family of Florence, experiencing significant damage during the 1530 war.

The castle served as the location for the historic signing of the Tuscan League agreement in 1198, marking a significant regional alliance formation.

The castle accommodates 200 guests in its heated indoor spaces and provides overnight lodging for 25 people, with room rates starting at 132 euros per night.

Within the castle grounds stands a private chapel near an olive grove with a swimming pool, while ancient Roman road remains border the Sezzate River valley below.
