Palazzo di Piero is a fine property, formerly one of the family's main residences. It is set in parkland among traditional vineyards and olive groves which are still actively farmed. An avenue of trees, nearly 1km long, runs through the park, and sweeps into the courtyard of the Castello itself. On the left stands the private chapel, with its frescoes dating back to the 1500's and its portraits of former owners. The forecourt is formally landscaped with tall cypresses and a line of topiary-trimmed box trees, framing woods in which visitors may walk. The main building is castellated and the whole is dominated from the front by its elegant five-arched loggiatio and bell tower. It is situated in one of the most idyllic parts of Tuscany, nestled among secular holm-oaks, pines, vineyards, olive groves, ponds and creeks. Palazzo di Piero has that special charm of Etruscan sites. It is located close to Sarteano with its pool of natural spring waters, Chianciano famous for its thermal water, and Chiusi rich in fascinating archeological sites. This area offers not only a variety of outdoor activities but also an interesting departure point for learning about the culture and traditions of this region.
