The Volognano Castle is located in the heart of the Chianti Colli Fiorentini area, just 16 km from Florence and at an altitude of about 400 meters, surrounded by 200 hectares of vineyards and olive groves that offer a breathtaking view. Built in a dominant position overlooking the surrounding territories, the Castle is surrounded by the medieval village that developed on its margins, including a small church where the Holy Mass of the Catholic rite is still celebrated on Sundays. This church houses two works attributed to the Rosso Fiorentino school dating back to the late 14th century.
The Volognano Castle includes 700 square meters of apartments on three floors: on the ground floor the kitchen, the dining room, two large living rooms and a bathroom; on the first floor a double suite with private bathroom and two double rooms with shared bathroom; on the second floor a second suite with private bathroom, a double bedroom and a twin bedroom with a shared bathroom, a studio and a laundry; on the third floor there is a relaxation area with billiards/pool table and satellite TV.
The outdoor spaces enrich the structure of a striking 6×12 m swimming pool partly inside the lemon house, provided with changing room and bathroom for guests in the pool. Also included outdoors is an Italian garden, as well as premises obtained from the ancient cellars of the Castle and suitable for organising events.
