A road winds its way up the hill to the 'Castello delle Quattro Torri', the Castle of the Four Towers. The visitor approaching from Siena will be able to spot this medieval castle from far away, perched on the top of the hill, towering above the Tuscan countryside. Surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, the latter still used to produce the delicious Chianti wine, we see the four red brick towers, now classified as a national monument. Here you can find a very romantic accommodation for a couple or a small family. Across the small and romantic courtyard, the stairs provide access to the first floor. The apartment is furnished and designed in harmony with the historic ambience: you won't find the blatantly imposing and luxurious elegance of the feudal (Baroque) castles that were built later on, but rather a comfortable rural interior in line with the history of this castle that dates back to the Middle Ages..
The castle is only 3 km away from the Piazza del Campo. You can reach Siena even without a car. There is a bus stop 1.3 km away. During the day buses go to the centre every 15 minutes and every 30 minutes in the evening.

Notes
The large living room area, with a fireplace and a long wooden table, forms the centre of the apartment. Antique terracotta tiles cover the floor displaying charming unevenness, and mighty wooden beams support the ceilings. The apartment is furnished and designed in harmony with the historic ambience: you won't find the blatantly imposing and luxurious elegance of the feudal (Baroque) castles that were built later on, but rather a comfortable rural interior - in line with the history of this castle that dates back to the Middle Ages.
This accommodation is - considering the prices in town - reasonably priced and also very favourable regarding its central location. It is only 3 km to the Piazza del Campo. You can reach Siena even without a car. There is a bus-stop 1.3 km away (bus-stop Due Ponti / 30 minutes walking). During the day buses go to the centre every 15 minutes and every 30 minutes in the evening. There is an open-air swimming pool 5 km away, and the beautiful white sandy beaches of the Maremma can be reached within about one hour.
The interior
Across the small and romantic courtyard, the stairs provide access to the first floor. The apartment is furnished with several antique pieces of furniture and equipped with a washing machine and a dishwasher for your convenience. All windows offer a view of the soft hilly landscape around Siena.
The garden
The castle is surrounded by a garden boasting lawns, some beds of roses and trimmed hedges. This garden can be used by the guests and is perfect for having breakfast or a barbecue and for sunbathing in the olive grove. The Castello produces its own wine and olive oil - you can buy these products right on the premises. The rest of the castle is privately used.
