Castello Lapi Goretti Miniati
A castle of your own,
in the heart of Chianti.
Castello Lapi — for centuries known as Castello Il Palagio — was founded as a stronghold defending the Florentine Republic, then transformed into a stately home in the seventeenth century by the Miniati di Dino family.
Today, after eight centuries, we open our fortified walls, our centuries-old gardens, the chapel with its neo-Gothic murals and the rooms with their original furnishings, to host your unforgettable moments.
