The Castello di Proceno is a 12th century fortress built to protect the ancient hamlet. The surrounding region 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. Each apartment is equipped with safe, telephone, hair dryer and individual heating that is payable on consumption together with firewood. They are exquisitely furnished and great care has been taken to provide modern amenities in a typical context of wood-beamed ceilings, whitewashed walls, and terracotta floors with brick and stonework carried out in the purest architectural tradition. The rear of the tower gardens is interconnected by a series of ramparts and stairs, providing access to the spacious grounds and to the 6 x 12 meter swimming pool. Together with the apartments the Castello di Proceno offers three new suites, as always restored with great care to detail: Collinella, Poggiolo and Caciaia. Access to these rooms is through a ground floor portal from the courtyard and an internal staircase that connects the three floors. The three suites are all equipped with fridge, microwaves, electric kettle, toaster and a small sink. All bathrooms have shower and hairdryer. This part of the Castle is not ideal for small children.
