Castello del Calcione

Nestled in the rolling hills of Tuscany near Lucignano, Castello del Calcione is a historic estate spanning 2,400 hectares of forests, lakes, and olive groves. Dating back to the 10th century, the castle has served various roles—from a fortress-monastery to a noble residence. Today, it remains under the stewardship of the Lotteringhi della Stufa family, who have transformed it into an organic farm and cultural retreat. ​

Visitors can explore the castle’s art museum, which houses Renaissance masterpieces like the glazed terracotta coat of arms by Luca and Andrea della Robbia. The estate offers a range of activities, including wine and olive oil tastings, truffle hunting, horseback riding, and canoeing on private lakes. Restored farmhouses provide accommodations that blend rustic charm with modern comforts.​

Castello del Calcione offers a variety of event spaces that blend historical charm with modern amenities, making it an ideal venue for diverse gatherings. The estate features two spacious courtyards within the castle, perfect for weddings, concerts, corporate dinners, and conferences. One of these courtyards can be covered to provide protection from the elements, ensuring events can proceed regardless of weather conditions. Additionally, the beautifully manicured gardens serve as picturesque settings for outdoor ceremonies and receptions. For more intimate gatherings, the castle’s frescoed chapel provides a unique and historic ambiance. ​

Beyond the main castle, several restored farmhouses and villas on the estate, such as Villa San Giuseppe and Meleto, offer accommodations and additional spaces suitable for hosting guests or smaller events. ​
