Preceno                   

Proceno is 12th century fortress built to protect the ancient hamlet. The surrounding region is full of Etruscan, Medieval and Reinassance monuments that testify to the presence of ancient civilizations. The castle is a rare example of medieval fortification surviving in its original state. It's 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 with Mount Amiata in the background, where you can found also 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 fireplace wood.
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 masonry having operated in total respect of the purest 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 swimmingpool.
