CASTELLO DI PERGOLATO
Bargino, Tuscany
11 Bedrooms and 9 Bathrooms (Sleeps 19)
Castello di Pergolato is a beautiful example of a
Medieval Tuscan castle. This extraordinary estate is set high on a hillside in the Chianti wine
region just south of Florence on the road to Siena. It was originally
built in the 10th century on the ruins of an ancient Roman settlement
by the Buondelmonti family, who owned the castle for nine centuries.
During the Renaissance (between 1450 and 1500) the inside of this
feudal castle was converted into a villa and recently it has been
beautifully restored by its current owners. No detail has been
overlooked. The castle is filled with fine Italian antiques, gracious,
comfortable sofas and chairs, gorgeous canopy beds and all modern
conveniences including an elevator.
A huge central reception room divides the castle into two sections, the
Conventino and the Torre. This magnificent room also opens on to an
arched patio that overlooks the elegant swimming pool and out over the
sweeping valley of the Pesa River. In all there are a total of eleven
bedrooms (six with bathroom en suites): two masters, six doubles and
three singles. There are also two powder rooms. Castello di Pergolato
offers a unique and wonderful experience as well as an ideal location
only 15 minutes from Florence.
