Those who visit Florence admire her masterpieces by great Renaissance artists, but here you discover an exciting, sentimental and emotional atmosphere. The Castle still retains a certain medieval flavour which easily and quickly blends smoothly with Renaissance refinement and solidity.



Once you pass the imposing, stark façade, you discover the central courtyard which conveys a sense of primitive austerity, and as you pass into the halls illuminated by large windows, through the sequence of rooms and sloping gardens, a strong, brilliant and delicate life-force comes over you until you step into the 18th century hall which bathes in a wonderfully light atmosphere. This is the sensation of a life in direct contact with questions of substance and spirit. There is an unexpected intensification of one's individuality: you suddenly find yourself outside the often grey routine of the everyday or false notoriety and instead feel an exciting and romantic contact with mysterious ties to history.

The castle has apartments inside and outside the structure, for a full description refer to www.montegufoni.eu
