The Rocca di Rassina is one of our most beautiful properties and has belonged to the same family for over a thousand years. Set high in the hills on the Tuscan-Umbrian border, this fully-staffed small castle is surrounded by eight hundred acres of private land including a vast walled park with sweeping lawns and a beautiful terraced pool area. Unusual for a building of this age, large windows flood the rooms with bright sunlight to highlight the lovely antique furnishings and burnished terracotta floors. An inner courtyard with a built-in wood oven lends itself to long al fresco dinners, perhaps including legendary local specialties such as Val di Chiana beef and black or white truffles - accompanied, of course, by a fine bottle of the local Montepulciano wine.
