Tuscan castle for rent - Located midway between the historic cities of Florence and Siena, in the region known as Barberino Val d'Elsa, you will find Castello Fusi. The origins of this elegant property date back to the 11th century and it has a colourful history, clearly in evidence to those who stay here.

In its design, this villa is a classic example of Lorenese architecture, and comparable to the Medici villas of the 15th century. From its hilltop position, there are good views in all directions across the surrounding vineyards and olive groves.

The décor is traditional Italian, with floral patterns and some bathrooms in mosaic. Pieces of art and antiques dating back over the centuries adorn the property. Each bedroom is individually named, and one has a balcony. There is a large dining area and well equipped kitchen, perfect for evening dinner parties; the estate staff can arrange chef and other services as required.
Located to the rear of the villa and with its own independent access (but also accessible from inside the villa if desired) is a small self-contained apartment sleeping an additional four persons, available at a supplement. This additional accommodation may suit a nanny or two families travelling together for example.

With some of Italy's most famous treasures such as Florence, Siena and Arezzo within easy reach for day trips,
and the pretty towns of the Chianti region on your doorstep, Castello Fusi would make an excellent base for a really memorable holiday.
