Tuscany, birthplace of the Renaissance and a land of outstanding natural beauty, art and architecture, culture and culinary tradition. At its heart, yet in easy reach of the delights of Florence, Pisa and Siena, stands Castelfalfi. A private estate of some 3000 acres/1100 hectares of rolling countryside, olive groves, vineyards, small farms and at its centre the Borgo, a stunning medieval hilltop village. Home to a vibrant international community, within its boundaries can be found boutique hotels and restaurants, as well as a spa and selection of sport, leisure and equestrian facilities.

It is an idyllic location where designs, modern or traditional, will draw on traditional materials and finishes including Tuscan brickwork, roofing and plasterwork. It is a place to call home for those who value privacy, who cherish time together and appreciate time well spent. What we call slow time. Welcome to Castelfalfi, welcome to a place where time stands still.

Castelfalfi is one of the most significant private country estates to be found in Tuscany offering complete seclusion and yet in easy reach of the cosmopolitan charms of Florence, Pisa and Siena and their national and international transport links.

Castelfalfi is an estate at one with nature.

Straddling the border of Pisa and Florence it incorporates lakes, olive groves, vineyards, arable and recreational lands, ancient farmhouses and our discreet collection of Castelfalfi Villas. There are almost 60 acres/25 hectares of vineyards, 30 of which have been planted in the last decade with the estate proud to deliver outstanding wines from Chianti Riserva DOCG to a stunning Sangiovese IGT. Nearly 2,000 olive trees, including Frantioio and Pendolino varieties, have been added to the 8,000 plus trees that cover the hillsides whilst Castelfalfi’s Olive Mill is part of the rural fabric, processing estate oils and those of hundreds of local landowners. The reminder of the arable land is given over to grains, fodder and legumes and the occasional truffle hunt. Produce from across the estate is entirely organic and can be enjoyed by residents with wines and olive oil available from the estate’s winery.
