Step inside and discover laidback indulgence in an ancient castle, surrounded by rolling hills and century-old vineyards
Valentina Benci Piccioni welcomes you to the enchanting Castello di Cafaggio, where the treasures of her blended families can be found. Her father Piero Piccioni, pianist and composer of over 300 soundtracks for the renowned Italian cinema from the 1950’s and her stepfather Enrico Benci with whom she grew up, were in fact linked by a deep friendship and mutual esteem.
The castle library contains Benci family antique books and papers that one can admire, including a dedicated photo and a letter from family friend and frequent castles guest Giacomo Puccini to great grandfather Ugo Benci. Over the last few years, all of Piero Piccioni’s handwritten musical production has been added and is available to scholars and musicians. Valentina, musicologist and singer has ensured the digitization of these works and begun organizing conferences and concerts with important scholars and musicians dedicated to her father in the magical setting of Castle Cafaggio.
Our mantra is “Escape the ordinary” because we believe that everybody should be encouraged to do just that: indulge in a slow pace lifestyle, surround themselves with stunning views of our rolling hills, relax in individually designed bedrooms, sunbathe under the Tuscan sun, sip our red wine in one of our terraces, tasting our award winning organic extra-virgin olive oil with our organically grown tomatoes, dining al fresco under our wisteria, dancing all night in our “limonaia” or simply catching up on some much-needed quality sleep. Castello di Cafaggio combines the experience of a local Tuscan countryside lifestyle with an event venue that offers the highest standards. Add to that you can hire the castle exclusively for a wedding, corporate event or big day celebration and you can truly tailor the event to your exact needs.
Castello di Cafaggio is located in the heart of Tuscany, minutes from the delightful town of Impruneta rich in regional artisan traditions and close to the historical furnaces of terracotta renowned worldwide.
Nestled in the realm of olive oil and wine of the highest quality, Castello di Cafaggio is surrounded by splendid olive groves and vineyards and has won multiple awards for its organic extra virgin olive oil.
