Standing above the old Via pilgrim road, which connected southern Etruria to Rome, the Castle was built as a medieval fortress in the 11th century. The Watchtower remains intact from the 12th century, a reminder of the old rivalry between Siena and Florence. The rear part of the Castle is from the late medieval period. In the Renaissance, a period which gave the Main Loggia, the Castle was turned into a residential villa, represented in frescoed maps in the Vatican by the famous cosmographer, geographer and mathematician from Perugia Ignazio. 

Darkness fell over the Castle for many centuries, until 1997, when it was resurrected from the ruins and turned into a luxury relais, thanks to restructuring work that retained the original structure of the residence. The company which purchased the property in 2003, undertook renovation and extension works, the result being the modern-day castle resort.
