Castello di Proceno
The Castello di Proceno is a 12th century fortress built to protect the ancient hamlet. The region surrounding our Bed and Breakfast is full of Etruscan, Medieval and Renaissance monuments that testify to the presence of ancient civilizations. The castle is a rare example of a medieval fortification surviving in its original state. Its pentagonal base incorporates a main tower and two secondary towers interconnected by walkways and a drawbridge. The complex includes a fort that is attached to one side of the castle by the town's defensive walls. The fort now houses three apartments, Primavera, Estate and Autunno, from whose windows and private terraces guests may enjoy the peace of the countryside and the beauty of the surrounding landscape of woods and hills. In the distance is Mount Amiata where you can also find the Hunting Lodge of the Castle's Lords. The swimming pool is situated just outside the Castle ramparts on spacious grounds of wide panoramic terraces connected to the tower gardens by a landscaped path through a park of cypresses. The other side of the Castle faces the valley of the Paglia river between the Castle of Radicofani and the Castle of Torre Alfina. Here the apartments Il Corsetto, Il Chiostrino, La Loggia and La Bicocca open onto an internal medieval courtyard. These apartments are connected to the pool area by an ancient tunnel dug in the rock under the Castle. In a remodelled barn overlooking the pool the owner has set up a restaurant.
Relaxed lunches and intimate candle-light dinners are served in the charming dining room or on the covered loggia, all in a congenial and cosy atmosphere. The excellent food prepared personally by the owner, features seasonal produce in an enticing combination of international and Italian dishes. Each of the seven apartments is very well furnished and offers maximum comfort together with views of the valleys or the courtyard. The Enoteca del Castello is the result of a happy adaptation of the medieval cellars of the ancient fortress.
Everything has been done in great taste and with careful attention to preserving the charm and spirit of this ancient building. A mixture of warmth and bright roughness in every detail makes these rooms an ideal combination of furnishings and lights together with the revisited traditional recipes served beside a roaring fire and accompanied by the best wines of central Italy.
