Wonderful Castle For Sale In Chianti

This prestigious castle for sale is in the town of Greve, in Tuscany's renowned Chianti area.

This charming estate dates back to Roman times, when a centurion was gifted with a big lot of grounds to build his home.

The estate was further modified during the Middle Ages, when it became a fied of the Buondelmonti family, who converted it into one of their castles. In more recent times, the villa was refurbished in a 19th-century style, becoming a hunting lodge. King Victor Emmanuel II was often a guest in this villa, surrounded by forests full of game and luxuriant vineyards which, the story tells, produced wine very like the Bordeaux kind.

Today, this luxury property for sale is kept in excellent condition, measures 1,000 sqm overall and includes the castle, an outbuilding, a stunning swimming pool and 60 hectares of grounds featuring a vineyard that mostly produces Sangiovese Nero wine, and 2 hectares of grounds.

The castle is currently divided into eight apartments and could be easily enjoyed as a private home or become a tourist accommodation facility.
