4 bedroom apartment in a medieval castle estate with swimming pool
Stay in a medieval castle in Tuscany. This light and spacious apartment is fully equipped with a large sitting room with fireplace, a kitchen and four bedrooms and bathrooms.
The apartment is spread out across multiple levels with both an internal and external staircase.
There is also a terrace garden and a pergola for al fresco meals.
The castle's shared swimming pool is 200m way.
The castle which dates back to 1042 is a fully working farm with a 4 hectare vineyard, with 1,000 year-old olive groves in an unspoilt valley on Monte Amiata. We make our own wines, olive oil and gin and grow most of our vegetables in the castle's orto. With splendid views over the valley, and cool night breezes the castle is in a wonderful microclimate of its own. The valley is a perfect place to go for sunset walks and look up at the full moon.

About the host
Hosted by Alexander Greene
Charlotte Horton has been making award-winning wines in Tuscany for over 20 years. She has restored two Castles in Tuscany. At Castello di Potentino, she has revitalized an abandoned estate, planting new vineyards, bringing back olive trees into production and recreating the castle as a cultural centre and a bed and breakfast. She and Alexander have been running food and wine pop-up events in London, Ireland and France since 2010. She is currently working on a book about Potentino Life with photographer Michael Woolley. Before moving to Italy, she worked for Vogue Magazine, Secker and Warburg Publishing House and then as a freelance journalist. In 2013, she was recognized as one of the Barclay’s Women of Achievement.
Alexander Greene was part of the team that set up the Frontline Club, a members’ club and restaurant in Paddington that specializes in Independent Journalism, hosting the likes of Wikileaks and Litvinenko. He then went on to work at the book publisher Little, Brown Book Group whose authors include J.K. Rowling, Stephenie Meyer and Patricia Cornwell. He is now a director at Castello di Potentino and Raymond Chandler Ltd..
Charlotte has been living at and restoring Potentino since 2000 when the family purchased the ruin. Alexander gave up his job in publishing in London in 2011 and moved to Potentino.
Why they chose this property
When we first came to Potentino, it was a ruin- owned by 24 different owners, the castle had been abandoned- the roof was falling in and there was no running water, electricity or the doors and windows. It was one of the most beautiful buildings we had ever seen. It took more than 6 years to restore the main building- and we continue to restore parts of the castle every year. The castle is a labour of love.
What makes this property unique
Staying at Potentino is an opportunity to stay in a fully working castle. The winery is in the old stables. The countryside around the castle is unspoilt- there are waterfalls below the castle and at night there is a huge sky with very little light pollution.
Drink the wines from the castle's vineyards, swim in the lovely swimming pool and take walks along the valley to enjoy the peace.
