Apartment

Welcome to Tuscany, to the picturesque village of the medieval castle of Rapale, where time stands still, where the eyes and soul are filled with beauty.
Rapale is a magical place where serenity and tranquility reign supreme, surrounded by arches and towers, fortified walls, and verdant hills lined with olive trees, cypress trees, and vines, transporting you to another, beautiful dimension. It is located high up near the Chianti Senese, where the panorama is 360 degrees, encompassing multiple valleys dotted with farmhouses, villages, and castles at night. Beneath the arch of the ancient walls, there is a wonderful terrace overlooking Siena and its splendid sunsets and starry nights, just steps from the welcoming Contadino apartment with its comfortable spaces, adjacent to the shared green areas and the harmonious swimming pool with its beautiful view.
Staying in this tiny village and castle, perched 500 meters above sea level, will captivate and captivate those who love nature, its unique, harmonious colors, and its silence.Rapale is a central base in Tuscany for visiting the nearby art cities with their museums and history: Siena, Monteriggioni, Arezzo, Florence, Pienza, Montepulciano, Cortona, the wonderful Val d'Orcia, and many other charming little villages to visit.
