Castello Di Lamole
Address - Via di Lamole - Castello di Lamole, 50022, Greve in Chianti

 General Information

The Castle of Lamole is an ideal base to visit the most important Tuscan art cities, the Chianti places full with art and culture and the towns famous for their wines. Medieval suburbs, castles, churches, abbeys, monasteries, cottages and villas follow one another gently laid down on the hills. The alternation of vineyards on the one side and olive yards and woods on the other, produces an harmony unique in the world.

The Castle of Lamole lies on a dominant position, 600 ms altitude, and emerges on its rock spur between two small valleys where two spring branches of the river Greve, flowing in the close valley having the same name, originates.

The Castle of Lamole is one of the last Florentine rural area defences you meet when entering northwards to the Valdarno territory across the Mount San Michele (892 s.l.m.), and eastwards in the Radda region and then, to the Senese territory. Therefore its position overlooks the Chianti hills at the sluice of the high Greve valley and is nowadays surrounded by the “Chianti Classico” vineyards, by the olive, chestnut and oak trees.

When you arrive here your heart and spirit calm down, plunged in the surrounding hills' uncontaminated nature. Built in the age of the war between Florence and Siena as a defensive sentinel, the Castle of Lamole overlooks since 1200 a striking view of chestnut and oak woods, and offers hospitality in its apartments for an extraordinary stay in Tuscany's history and art.

The guests who arrive in the Castle give themselves up to the quiet of an ancient atmosphere carefully recreated in every detail, with passion for the protection of the past and defence of the ancient and precious tradition of the land of Tuscany.

Our accommodation in apartment has been realized in the Castle's rooms by paying great attention to the ancient structure's style and charm, and with respect to the peasants' wisdom which transformed rooms originally intended for military purposes into something new. The apartments are furnished with antique pieces in poor art style, their floors are done in terracotta tiles or in “pietra serena”, chestnut wooden beams adorn the ceilings, the walls are plastered in soft pastel shades or “a vista” stone walls.

The pretty windows open on the panoramic viewed terrace garden made of small paths and stone ladders, rich with rosemary and lavender, hydrangea and local roses, surrounded by cypresses, larches and age-old chestnut woods at the foot of which the flowers are frame to the valley's striking view.
