What dreams are made of

Imagine a haven of serenity where time stands still and noise fades away to birdsong. A retreat from the world nestled in the natural beauty of Tuscany. A dreamland where you can stroll around an elegant medieval hamlet, catching glimpses of the castle as you pass enchanting stone cottages that whisper stories of long ago. A place for taking time to watch the sunrise over misty vineyards and then, come evening, gaze at the vast night sky, aperitivo in hand. 


Welcome to Castelfalfi, the dreamscape where time stands still.

The Borgo
and our history

About the history

The story of Castelfalfi stretches back centuries, and while its owners changed over the years, each ensured the village retained its original architecture, albeit with their own touch. The village first appeared on a map in 754 A.D., about 50 years after it was established by the Lombard king Faolfo, from which derives the name Castelfalfi (Castrum - Faolfo, meaning Faolfo's Castle). It was eventually taken over by the Caetani family, who transformed the village into a Renaissance residence, renovating Faolfo’s hilltop castle. In the last century, the village has been restored and revived.

The Castle

The castle that King Foalfo had built on the massif of the fortress, was composed of two towers placed to protect and control the valley along the road between Lucca and Siena and on which a few years later, Giovanfrancesco Caetani and Costanza de' Medici married in 1489, electing it their home to transform it into a stately residence. Among the families that ran the community in the following centuries emerges the name of the Biondi family that took possession of Castelfalfi after the Caetani, contributing to the agricultural development of the estate with wine and tobacco production. In the last century the village has been restored and relaunched for hospitality and real estate, bringing to new life Castelfalfi from the last twenty years.

Costanza de’ Medici

As evidence of the noble Florentine family's presence, some artefacts were found in Castelfalfi, including a marble insignia and a portrait of Costanza de’ Medici. The insigna is still present nowadays into our medieval castle, while the portrait is now stored in the National Gallery in London. 

The Medicean Park

Live out your own fairy tale. Find your own secret nook and allow history to captivate you while surrounded by a breathtaking view and total peace.

Buca 19

YC WHYCI

Erbario Toscano

Its body and hair care products, perfumes and home fragrances bear witness to the authenticity of a region that is in contact with the daily life of those who live elsewhere.
