Venue description
The castle is located on the top of a hill overlooking a breathtaking landscape over the Val di Greve, likely originated from a Roman settlement. It belonged to the family of the great navigator Giovanni da Verrazzano, when it was constructed it was smaller and wrapped around a single central tower of the Romanesque building.
Since then the castle was transformed into a farm and manor house and nowadays it has recovered the look of a spectacular turreted building, adorned by an elegant and beautiful Italian garden.
