A Brief History
The estate was built and christened Querceto Manor in the late 10th century and often hosted the political exiles of nearby Siena until it fell into decline starting in the 15th century. Owned and reconstructed during the 19th and 20th centuries by the Bargagli family of Siena – esteemed local aristocracy – the castle rose to aprominent position in the region, as the surrounding estate was a leading agricultural producer with 31 farms on 2200 acres. During the late 20th century, the estate was owned by prominent Italian film director Luchino Visconti, who often entertained European and Hollywood luminaries on the property.
