Castello di Gargonza

The castle complex consists of a 13th-century gate, defensive walls, a central tower, and multiple stone buildings connected by narrow cobblestone streets.

In 1304, the castle provided refuge to poet Dante Alighieri during political negotiations between the Aretines and Ghibellines in the Tuscan region.

The preserved medieval architecture includes a 14th-century Roman church with a bell tower, demonstrating the traditional religious elements of Tuscan villages.

Located 11 kilometers from the A1 highway exit of Monte San Savino, the castle offers accommodation in restored medieval buildings with modern amenities.

The property spans 500 acres of protected land, featuring forests, olive groves, and vineyards that maintain the agricultural character of historical Tuscany.
