Overview
Nestled in the time-honored hills of **Capalle**, where the Tuscan sun gilds the rolling vineyards and the scent of cypress lingers in the air, stands a **13th-century castle**—a silent witness to seven centuries of history, now poised for its grand rebirth. This is not merely a property; it is a **legacy etched in stone**, a canvas of vaulted ceilings, sun-drenched courtyards, and whispering gardens where centuries-old trees stand as sentinels of the past.
The castle unfurls across **16,000 square feet of noble grandeur**, its three levels—ground, first, and second—each a chapter in an untold story. The **ground floor**, a symphony of seven expansive chambers, reveals itself through a **central staircase of worn stone**, where the weight of history presses gently underfoot. Here, **vaulted ceilings arch like the ribs of a cathedral**, while pilasters and cornices trace the craftsmanship of artisans long gone. The air hums with possibility—**accessory spaces wait to be reimagined**, whether as a wine cellar beneath the stars or a gallery for modern masterpieces.

Ascend to the **first floor**, where eight sunlit rooms beckon, their **soaring heights** cradling the golden light of Tuscany’s afternoons. Service areas, tucked like secrets behind thick walls, hint at a life of effortless elegance—perhaps a chef’s kitchen where truffle-infused aromas will soon mingle with the murmur of dinner guests. Above, the **second floor** unfolds in six intimate chambers, each a sanctuary where the past and future might dance—**a library beneath the eaves, a studio flooded with dawn’s first blush**.
Beneath it all lies the castle’s **most enchanting mystery**: a **vast, vaulted basement**, its cool embrace a promise of hidden potential—a tasting room for rare vintages, a spa bathed in candlelight, or a private cinema where stories old and new might unfold.
Beyond the castle’s embrace, **two courtyards** stand as stages for life’s grand and quiet moments. One might host a wedding beneath a canopy of stars; the other, a morning café where the **ancient well** at its heart reflects the sky. A **barn and storage rooms** offer space for passions yet undiscovered—an artist’s studio, a collector’s trove, a stable for horses to canter through the **5,000-square-meter park**, where **centuries-old trees** sway with the secrets of the land.
This is a castle **not just to own, but to awaken**—a rare opportunity to inscribe your vision upon the bones of history. The **division potential** is boundless: a private estate, a boutique retreat, or a family compound where each generation claims its own wing. The **renovation is yours to command**, a chance to marry **original stone staircases and artistic decorations** with the luxuries of today—underfloor heating beneath medieval flags, a pool mirroring the Florentine hills, or a rooftop terrace where sunset aperitivi become ritual.
Here, in **Campi Bisenzio**, just a whisper from Florence’s Renaissance splendor, time slows. The castle does not ask for restoration; it **demands reimagining**. Will you answer?
