Casa Cucule is in a fabulous country location a few kilometres from the picturesque, tiny, hilltop village of Montebenichi, a pretty village with fantastic views over the surrounding countryside. Once a walled hilltop fortress, it still retains many of its original features. It has a central piazza with a village well and 2 castles. One is today a hotel and the other is said to have been the home of Captain Goro, a medieval mercenary soldier with his own small private army, in the days when the Florentines and Sienese both struggled to keep control of the many strategic hilltops around the region, fighting many a fierce battle to regain control of the area. The house has a garden and lovely views over the valley below. From here you can explore the other tiny hilltop villages in the area or visit the beautiful renaissance city of Siena (45 mins) Casa Cucule is a perfect location if you want a quiet, peaceful country location within easy reach of Siena.
