Restored 16th-century farmhouse. Castelnuovo Berardenga, Siena. Castelnuovo Berardenga is a municipality in the province of Siena, Tuscany. It is located about 20 km from the capital, on a hill between the Malena stream and the Ombrone river. Since 1932, it has been part of the Chianti wine region, its territory divided between the Colli Senesi sub-zone and the Classico sub-zone, of which it is the southernmost municipality. In 1554, Castelnuovo Berardenga suffered the same fate as its motherland, incorporated into the absolute dominion of the first Grand Duke of Tuscany. The first traces of the property date back to 1500, located in the heart of Chianti, in a landscape of pristine beauty, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. The property is an ancient stone farmhouse of great charm and consists of several buildings, with a total area of approximately 1,000 square meters. Now a tourist accommodation under the name “Agriturismo Podere Casato,” it has undergone extensive restoration (first in 1995 and second in 2020), equipping every space with the latest modern comforts while respecting and enhancing the splendid natural surroundings. The property, originally a 16th-century Sienese farmhouse, has been meticulously preserved and tastefully renovated. Surrounding it is a large garden adorned with ancient olive trees and a large swimming pool. Podere Casato is now a tourist accommodation facility. Located just a stone’s throw from Siena, in the heart of the Chianti countryside, it enjoys breathtaking views where the clay hills meet the vineyards. The farmhouse dates back to the time of the noble Sienese Piccolomini family and is listed in the 16th-century Leopoldino land registry. Renovated in 2020, it has retained the authenticity of a bygone Sienese village. It is easily accessible from the Siena-Bettolle motorway junction and is not far from the Valdichiana A1 toll booth. The property comprises five apartments and nine bedrooms, more than fifteen bathrooms, a large underground garage, and a restaurant with an on-site kitchen. Independent LPG heating and ducted air conditioning with hot and cold fan coils are also included. Thanks to its extraordinary features, rich cultural heritage, and strategic location, this residence is the ideal choice for those seeking to live in a refined property with all the amenities and comforts nearby, or for those wishing to manage a traditional resort of the highest standing. Therefore, in addition to representing a unique opportunity in the hospitality sector, the estate is also an ideal home for those wishing to embrace the country lifestyle without sacrificing modern comforts. Its strategic location, a short distance from the center of Siena and Tuscany’s main art cities, makes it a perfect choice for those wishing to combine the tranquility of the countryside with the vibrancy of city life.
