Historic Castle Estate with Renovated Interiors

This property reflects a long history that began in the early thirteenth century, when Count Alberti of Certaldo ordered the construction of Caput Aulae as the centre of his court. Remnants of the original fortified castle remain in the square brick watchtower and defensive walls beside the villa, while the consecrated chapel adds further period interest and is currently used for weddings and private ceremonies.

A major renovation in 2000 introduced modern systems, including air conditioning in all rooms, while preserving the character of the estate. The interiors are described as very bright, with terracotta floors, wooden beamed ceilings and a marble staircase linking the two levels of the building.
