Montegufoni, an awesome castle with a magnificent tower built on the model of the one of Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. This is a historic castle and its structure is dated back to 12th century. The villa being a historic monument has been in different possession till date.

In 17th century its possession was in the hands of a noble family called the family of Acciaioli they transformed this castle into a beautiful villa. The family made Montegufoni their holiday exit for hot summers. Again in the beginning of the 20th century, an English noble family known as Sitwell acquired the possession of the castle and restored it back to a castle returning its charm and the vintage feel.
