Perched on the hillside of Castello near Borgo a Mozzano, this beautifully restored medieval home feels like a quiet pause in time. Sunlight spills through French windows, connecting the living and dining areas—and both bedrooms—directly to a panoramic terrace overlooking the rolling hills. Terracotta floors, chestnut beams, and an ancient stone arch add layers of character, while thoughtful restoration ensures comfort throughout. Cool stone walls offer respite in summer, and a wood-burning stove invites cozy evenings when the air turns crisp. This isn’t just a home—it’s a deeply peaceful retreat where every detail tells a story.
From the seller:
Nestled in the heart of Castello, not far away from Borgo a Mozzano, this charming home offers a breathtaking blend of history, tradition, and natural beauty. A true historical gem of medieval origins, expertly restored in 2005. From the terrace, with its iconic chestnut and terracotta roof, the panoramic views will remain etched in your memory long after you've departed.
The home faces south and west, offering stunning view from both the bedrooms, as well as the living and dining rooms, all of which open directly onto the terrazza through French windows. True to the region's architectural style, where villages are built into the steep hillsides, the layout of this home is both intricate and captivating. Upon entering the cool outer hall, you're welcomed by a spacious 30-square-metre living room, featuring a cozy wood-burning stove — perfect for those crisp autumn and early spring evenings.
The original terracotta flooring, simple whitewashed walls, and a curated mix of traditional Tuscan and modern furniture and artwork all evoke a sense of rustic elegance. History whispers through the walls of this home, as parts of the house are believed to be among the first structures built in Castello. An ancient stone arch, carefully preserved from those early days, leads you into the fully equipped kitchen. From here, two steps descend into the dining room, which also opens to the terrace — the ideal setting for relaxing times, where the beauty of Tuscany surrounds you.
A stone staircase leads to the upper floor, where the bedrooms and bathroom are found. Both bedrooms feature magnificent chestnut beams overhead and original terracotta-tiled floors. Each room has huge windows offering captivating views of the valley and rolling hills beyond. The master bedroom is a generous 21 square metres and boasts a traditional coloured glass door, while the second bedroom, a unique wedge-shaped space of 16 square metres, is perfect for twin beds.
The fully equipped bathroom includes a bathtub, shower, bidet, lavatory, and handbasin, with an attractive coloured glass window adding a touch of charm. Especially during the summer months, the thick stone walls and shaded terrace roof keep the home cool and airy, providing a peaceful respite from the Tuscan heat.
The house invites you to embrace the relaxed pace of life in Castello, where time seems to slow down and nature takes center stage. This is not just a home, but a sanctuary in one of Tuscany's most picturesque hamlets — a place where history, comfort, and natural beauty come together in perfect harmony.
