History

The oldest parts of the Castello di Modanella were built in the 12th century by the noble Cacciaconti family. In a later period, the Piccolomini family of counts inhabited the castle for hundreds of years. Despite the alterations and extensions that have occurred in the course of its history, Modanella has retained the appearance of a real fortress. As you go through into the courtyard, with its view of the charming loggia and gardens, the view is spectacular.
The Modanella estate extends over no fewer than 630 hectares in the province of Siena. The castle dominates its surroundings, looking out over several farm houses that have been meticulously restored and given comfortable, rustic interiors.

They are rented out to people who are looking for peace and quiet, and who fancy a taste of history here in the heart of Tuscany. Yet there are other reasons, too, why this location is unique. It is not only the Castello di Modanella that has been preserved, but also the entire village of Modanella.
